We stayed from 10/26/2023 ~ 11/1/2023 (5 full days).
The hotel communicated all the necessary information to us prior to our arrival and the instructions were well written and easy to follow.
As a group of 4, the hotel felt a little small with all our luggage as well. I wouldn’t personally recommend it for more than 5 people.
The other reviews stated that you could hear the noises from the street, and they are right. However, the hotel does supply earplugs and honestly, if you’re traveling right, you should be tired enough at the end of the day that it doesn’t really matter lol
I slept in the living room and I did not hear any noises there.
The location is superb though. Lots of things to do, foods to eat, shopping to be done all within a 10 minute walk radius.
It’s also fairly easy to find (at the time of my stay).
The hotel is right across the Kinryu Ramen Honten and right next to a Strawberry Mania, so you have the big dragon and giant strawberry to look out for.
Overall, we had a positive experience with S-Dotonbori Hotel and would love to check it out again if given the opportunity.
