Exactly what I was looking for in this style hotel. I love tatami mats and found it very comfortable. Of course there are no chairs. I am 74 and cheated with some of the extra pads to make a sitting place next to my bed. The public bath was excellent.

We had a business trip to Osaka, and stayed 3 nights in this hotel. It is very close to the main Dotonbori area, at the same time it a Ryokan type that you can experience that close to the center. It is better to book sauna on the roof top well in advance as it was fully booked for many weeks. The hotel is conservatively designed and has its own charm, although it is quite old. The parking is hard to find but all transport means are in the walking distance. We tried the special breakfast once and it was a nice experience althouh my collegue didn't like the japanese seafood for the breafast.
