My stay at Osaka Ryokan Kuramoto was a unique experience, especially with the traditional atmosphere and the nice public bath. The location is super convenient, just a stone's throw from the lively Dotonbori area. However, the room was a bit snug, and my sleep was disrupted by noisy vending machines nearby. Overall, a solid choice for an authentic ryokan experience at a reasonable price.

The room was clean and had tatami mats, which felt really authentic, but it was tiny for two people. I appreciated the included matcha and the decent-sized TV, but there were some wear and tear on the paper panels.

I loved the onsen on the first floor; however, the bathroom in my room could've used some renovations. Despite that, it added a quirky charm to my stay.

I stayed in a Japanese-style room that was very spacious and equipped with a fridge, television, and even a cute mini zen garden on the balcony. The bathroom was small but clean. However, I noticed that the futons had holes, and the bidet wasn't working well, which could be improved.

My stay at Osaka Ryokan Kuramoto was a good blend of traditional Japanese ambiance and modern convenience. The spacious room was comfortable and featured beautiful tatami matting. However, the smoky lobby and some minor maintenance issues dampened the overall experience slightly. The location was unbeatable, making it easy to explore the lively streets of Osaka. 🌸🏨

My stay at Osaka Ryokan Kuramoto was quite pleasant, thanks to its traditional charm and great location near Dotombori. Though the hotel is a bit dated and I had some issues with noise from vending machines near my room, the warm hospitality from the owners and staff made the experience nice.
