japanhotel.net + Toyoko Inn Nanba

I have seen that many people here in japan-guide.com have recommended this site, but I'm still little unsure about reserving a room via them.

My problem is the rate they're offering; Can I really believe that I only need to pay 8000yen per night in a hotel like Osaka Imperial Hotel? Sounds too good to be true.

And then about Toyoko Inn in Osaka. Anybody who DOESN'T have a membership card, did you get a room? Or had the membershipcard owners already booked all rooms before non-holders could book rooms?

Thank you for your answers~

Isn't a good deal good enough? haha
I've booked from japanhotel.net several times before and have never had any trouble.

I recall seeing an inexpensive business hotel with Imperial in its name a few years back when I was looking for hotels in Osaka. If you decide to book this bargain, check the property description carefully.

The 8000 yen price for that hotel is correct--the thing is that this "Imperial hotel" is not the same as the one in the more expensive Imperial chain of hotels. This one is a business hotel with the same name. As for the Toyoko inn question--it depends when you want to stay--I looked at the site and they have tons of open rooms for the end of this month through the middle of May. If you want to stay during the middle of May or after that, you'll have to wait because they don't take reservations before 3 months(in my experience with them) That's why there's a dash for the space instead of a circle or X.

The last time I went to Osaka, I stayed in Azu Garden: http://azu-garden.co.jp/english.html because all the other places were booked up. The prices are really good and it's quite nice- more so than Toyoko in my opinion. It's also right next to all the action of Namba/Shinsaibashi/Dotonbori. It's worth checking out.

...the Dotonbori hotel (with the big heads out front) is budget price,convenient comfortable.
