Hotel Wbf Namba Ebisu

Excellent location, 20 minutes walk from Namba centre. Friendly and helpful staff. Well equipped room.

The room was a little small for two people. No storage room for cases or rusksacks.

To be honest I stayed only one night so it's bit hard to judge all the aspects. Apart from the two negative things, the staff was friendly, the room was large enough and it was comfortable. And the hotel itself was lovely, hence the higher score.

There were 2 things: the location, I know Japan is safe, if I were in any other country I would be scared to walk around after dark in the area. I also asked for a quiet room, I'm not sure if I received it but I still could hear the trains even with ear plugs. The second thing was that they were trying to get more money wherever they could - pushing for me to purchase an overpriced breakfast and also their policy on early check-in. I arrived one hour early and asked whether the room was ready. I would be happy with either outcome, I was told the room is not ready, but if I join some program and pay the membership I can check in one hour early - so the room was ready! I travel a lot and I've never come across such process. I understand they have to make money, but perhaps the way they present it should be changed.
