  • Hey, guys.

  • I mean, Osaka staying at an hotel.

  • It's pretty popular chain here in Japan.

  • And I can actually access everybody's room from this balcony right here.

  • Yeah, I stayed here for the last three days before I give my thoughts on the room and the experience and whether it's worth it all that Let's go back to day one so I could give you a peek at the room itself.

  • Right?

  • First, begin the room.

  • Let's take a look around.

  • G goes in here and always gonna be a really quick room tour looking.

  • This is like the tiniest room ever.

  • And the TV turns on when you have me.

  • And I guess this is terrible.

  • For 50 bucks a night, I've stayed in worse places.

  • Okay, let's Seaver can't box off a tour in I don't know.

  • 30 seconds.

  • We got this guy hanging out right by the entrance.

  • Get a little fridge, which is off right now, and empty slippers down there.

  • Hello, mirror.

  • We'll check the bathroom in a second, and this is pretty much the entire room right here.

  • My biggest concern is like if I'm even gonna fit on that bed or not, I guess we'll find it.

  • Got a little workspace.

  • Here it is.

  • Apparently goes back enough with, of course, the standard yukata that comes in most Japanese hotels.

  • And it's got a little paper crane.

  • Hi.

  • Yet light control right here.

  • Room.

  • Brag it.

  • Boom!

  • There we go.

  • I have noticed that some of the wallpaper around the edges here is peeling.

  • But if that's the worst problem you have in a hotel, you're still have a pretty good day.

  • Check of the washer.

  • Fairly standard unit bath style washroom.

  • They're all just kind of built in.

  • You shower and bathe right there.

  • Also, in case you didn't know a lot of Japanese hotels or even businesses just like to fold their total labor in a neat little triangle to welcome you.

  • I gotta say, I'm actually impressed with the humanities here.

  • I stayed at the Intercontinental in Times Square a while back, and while the really good rooms had great amenities, the cheap brooms, which were still fairly expensive, had like nothing.

  • So that's that's not bad for again $50 room.

  • I think that's I think that's all tour.

  • Check the view way, have a balcony downside and everybody has this bell connect and literally access any of the other rooms by going down there, which means they can.

  • I keep this window locked and the curtains clothe.

  • I feel better.

  • So I guess this is my home base of operations.

  • For the next three nights, I guess I'll check back in like, three days.

  • Cool.

  • Close that window and we go.

  • So over the last year, I have stated a whole bunch of different hotels.

  • I have stayed at a nice hotel, which are right by gorgeous beaches, tiny little hotels up in Hokkaido.

  • But coming down to Osaka, I realized I had never booked any of the like chain hotels.

  • I can up a hotel for those of you familiar with Japanese business hotels there very much, I guess a very plain and simple up a hotel really kind of falls into that category.

  • They're looking no frills, super basic hotel.

  • You've seen it for the most part of the room is fairly clean.

  • I had no problems with that.

  • Amenities were great.

  • You can pay like an extra, like 13 bucks for breakfast, but there's a convenience store right around the corner.

  • Hello, Japanese convenience stores.

  • My biggest issue, more than anything came in when it came to the security of the room.

  • But I'm talking about the balcony access to all the rooms.

  • I think you're gonna find that in a lot of different hotels.

  • The other day, when I left the room, I left the key right there in the slut.

  • You're supposed to take it with you.

  • Obviously, when I came back and I need to get a new key.

  • I talked them to the front desk and they're like, You could do so for 1000 yen.

  • If you find the other key will return your 1000 yet.

  • But at that time, all they asked me was my room number.

  • I gave them my room number, Got out my i d expecting them to, you know, want to check my idea.

  • And they're like, Oh, so you're Norm and I'm like, Yes, I am.

  • And they're like, OK, here's your new card.

  • And while the argument probably can be made that I'm not Japanese and there's probably not that many norms staying at this hotel, that still seems like a huge lapse in security.

  • Also, this pillow I don't even know what this is this is This is by far the single least comfortable pillow that I have ever used in my life.

  • My blanket was thicker than this, but that was just a terrible pillow.

  • Just Apple Hotel.

  • If you ever end up watching this, do something about those pillows that that was garbage.

  • It's also really common in rooms like this to not have that many plugs about things in.

  • I think there's a three in this room.

  • A little bit of a hack that I love to share.

  • Hotel related videos is there's almost always USB plugs behind the TV.

  • Actually, I've got my wife, I my GoPro, charging right now, and I almost forgot to mention they do have a free public bath that any guests in the hotel can use, and they've got a whole bunch of other small amenities.

  • As for my personal verdict on the hotel, it's it's not terrible.

  • I've stayed in worse places, but again, I've stayed in better places for cheaper that there was a nice little Airbnb around the corner from here for like, $10 less per night.

  • Maybe next time, all check that I've yet to stay at an Airbnb in Japan had a bit of a regulation issue of their babies for a while, so it became kind of a risky thing to book them.

  • Seems like a lot of that has been sorted out.

  • The caution remain, and these upper hotels are everywhere.

  • By the way, everywhere you we will find these.

  • They're all over the place.

  • But as I said, there's such a great variety of places stay in Japan.

  • So in the end of the decision is up to you.

  • But now you know what an Apple Hotel is like at the very end of this video, I'm going to link a playlist of short videos just like this designed to give value to your trip in Japan.

  • I I think there were a couple bloopers in this video, so I'm gonna roll those and I will see you guys again.

  • Rail soon.

  • Hey, guys.

  • Tripped.

  • Not a great start, literally like the first meeting of the video rivals ball.

  • All right, It's a fun fact about shooting this scene.

  • It turns out that they actually deactivate the other car.

  • And when I left to shoot this scene, I left the rial card in here again.

  • And then she had to go down and have them reactivated.

Hey, guys.
