This hotel is in a convenient location, about 5-7 min walk from Awaza subway station (on Chuo and Sennichimae lines) and about 8 min walk from Nakanoshima station (on Keihan Nakanoshima line which goes across Osaka but also to Kyoto). The onsen is very nice and has fantastic hours (opened 5am-9am then 10am to 2am!), the room and hotel itself are nice and clean, the A/C works well, the staff is nice and helpful, and quite fluent in English. The room is small by North American standards, but is standard size for most hotels in Japan (except expensive 5-star hotels). The internet (wifi and wired) speed and connection quality was amazing! There are quite a few nice restaurants around with a variety of foods (yakitori, yakiniku, teppanyaki, indian, and euro-style food). There is a 7/11 two doors down and you're a 5 min walk from a well-stocked and very handy Life Utsubo grocery store. If you like walking, you can actually reach Osaka train station/Umeda subway station (downtown core) in just 30 min, which we did several times to see the city a bit more. It's a very nice and pleasant walk when it's not 38 deg Celcius outside ;) If I visit Osaka again, this hotel will definitely be my first choice.
