    A beautiful small boutique hotel, new and clean. Pleasant overall. A gorgeous park (Tennoji Park) was nearby, an ongoing Christmas Fair in the evening that was wonderful to encounter, within 10mins walk to the left of the hotel, uphill. Towards the back of the hotel, a pathway led to another subway station 四天王寺前夕陽ケ丘 (Shitennoji-mae Yuhigaoka metro) that was slightly further, than the closest station (惠美須町Ebisucho metro), but was a lovely walk passing by many temples in the neighbourhood.

    Zentis is a modern hotel. The rooms are nicely designed and there are a lot of spaces in the room to store your things so you can create a relaxing space. Beds were very comfortable. We loved having access to our Netflix account in our room. The hotel has a lovely downstairs lobby and an upstairs bar and restaurant. Both were so welcoming and enjoyable places to be. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Really 5 Star service.
