The hotel is very near to Shin-Osaka station and easy to find if you take the right exit. If you are used to travel with Japanese business hotels, you know what you get. The room has what you need: a ned, a very small table, a TV, a refrigerator, your own bathroom.
good variety of breakfast. very close to station, easy for shinkansen day-trip and Haruka-train to airport. free luggage storage room. small room but enough space to open luggage on the floor and then push the luggage partly underneath the bed for more space. complete amenities like APA hotels chain.
The hotel is a modern hotel in traditional Ryokan style. It is part of the Dormy Inn chain and is excellent. The rooms all over look the river estuary. The hot springs baths in the hotel are excellent It is not in central Kinosaki but they have frequent shuttle minibus to town. If you would like western style breakfast they can offer but you need give the hotel notice.
This place is very well located -- a 1 km walk to the train station (with bags, take a taxi.....the taxis are reasonable in Kyoto.) -- a 300 walk over the river to the main north-south metro stop -- a 20 minute walk up the canal to experience the Nishiki Market. The hotel has a homey vibe. People buy food and bring it to the lobby, which is easier on the budget. Microwave and water are available. The rooms were bigger than expected.
It’s a budget hotel but exceeded my expectations. They fix our room, change our towels, collect our trash, on a daily basis, without being prompted to do so. They provide basic traveler necessities otherwise optional in other budget hotels, e.g. toothbrush/toothpaste, body scrub.
This is an interesting hotel, I believe previously part of the Hyatt chain but now under its own brand? Spacious room for Japanese standard, great view to the Osaka bay, amazing decor in the lobby. Walking around the hotel feels like you are in a world of its own. Great bus shuttle services into central Osaka and airport.
This wasn't a bad stay but I don't think we really enjoyed it. It is budget and what I imagine the APA hotel chains are like. Room was tiny. Bathroom smaller. Fan didn't work really well. The free dinner was nice but there is so much food around we only got it once. Location was great but I wouldn't stay here again and just pay a bit more for something a bit bigger. The room we had was quiet despite being opposite a lift. If it was a one night stay it would have been fine but we were here 4 nights.
My room on the 6th floor was large, luminous, comfy and had great views of the city. This business hotel is a little older and the bathroom less perfect than in most of the chain hotels, but there is nothing to complain about really. Lighting could be better but the reading lights by the beds are perfect. Windows open. Less than 100 meters from the JR station. Spacious lobby.
Very friendly and welcoming staff, room was spacious compared to my stay at Sotetsu fresa inn Kanda Tokyo. Breakfast also had more options compared to Tokyo. Umbrellas supplied at lobby for rainy weather. Again good amenities, microwave, washing machine, ice machines and vending machines. Also option to rent free extra appliances if needed. I highly recommend this hotel chain as a mid-budget option for those solo travelers. Location was also good, 4 min from Shijo subway station and two stops to Kyoto main station
