I don't have a regular hotel that I stay at in Osaka, even though I visit once a month. So, I always struggle to find a hotel, but I still enjoy the process. The most important factor for me is the accessibility from major train stations. This time, I walked from Osaka Station to Daiwa Check-in, which is located right in between Osaka Station and Fukushima Station. It's not a short distance to walk, even though it seems simple on the access map. There must be a shortcut, but I'm not familiar with this area. After checking in, when I went out for drinks, I found it much easier and closer to use Fukushima Station. It's just a few minutes on one train to get to Osaka Station, no problem. The room was luxurious and felt like a waste for just one person. It was a Hollywood-style twin room, but it was missing a desk, which was a bit inconvenient. Breakfast was served at the restaurant on the first floor, with both Western and Japanese options. I used a plan that included breakfast in the room rate. Otherwise, breakfast alone would cost around 1600 yen? Honestly, compared to other hotel breakfasts I've had in the past, the content was just okay. There were only two types of bread, and the main dishes were limited to sausages, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Only oranges and pineapples for fruits, no yogurt. The salad, soup, and soft drinks were free. Even though this hotel does not offer complimentary breakfast, the content was on par with or even worse than hotels that do. Nowadays, there are many hotels that offer better breakfast options even for free. For guests who value hotel breakfast over buying food or eating at chain coffee shops outside, this breakfast would be too lacking. With a convenience store on the first floor, guests might find themselves thinking that the convenience store has better options than the hotel breakfast. Overall, this hotel breakfast does not pass the mark.
