“Great Stay near Kansai Airport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2012

I stayed here for a night while picking up my family arriving from Singapore and was very pleasantly surprised. I caught the shuttle from the airport (this is Japan, so the shuttle only operates in the evening, since they cannot imagine that anyone would arrive earlier or later...yes a bit silly for an airport hotel) and was checked in quickly to my fantastic room on the 42nd floor. I might have been upgraded, since I do not recognize my room from the commentary or pictures. I had a very large room with two double beds, very modern outfitting and a small couch and table. My room was on the verge of being trendy. Great views toward Osaka. Bathroom had separate sink, toilet and shower areas with a soaking bath next to (not inside) the shower. There was a fridge, hot pot and humidifier (guess Japanese get dry at this height).

I booked on the Hotel's website and got a great rate (US$100). About 70% less than the Nikko in the airport were charging. Had stayed there many times and this room was better although slightly less convenient. You can take the train from the airport one stop which is connected to the Hotel. There is a Family Mart in the rather bland area outside the Hotel for snacks.

Ok, the downsides are typically Japanese...the rather inconveniently timed airport shuttle (to the airport in the morning, from the airport in the evening), but you can beat this with a cheap train ride of 7 minutes. Also, they charge for the health club (welcome to Japan). About US$25 for comprehensive use...not bad if you get a good room rate and factor this in.

“A very pleasant experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

I travelled with my partner and we had a very positive experience and plan to return when we need to stay near Kansai airport.
First, all of the rooms are high up so you are bound to have a nice view.
The foyer and staff are nice.
After asking that our room be non smoking, we were upgraded to a suite. From looking into the other room, the only difference with this was that it had a bit of extra space for a table and two chairs by the window(overlooking the ferris wheel) - but it added to the whole experience.
The rooms are lovely - there is a small room at the front for shoes and luggage, the bath is a decent size and the bed was very comfortable.
The decor is slightly dated but of such high quality that it wasn't an issue at all.
We did have one slight issue when we found that all of the official hotel restaurants(and restaurants in the mall next door) were closed or closing(at 9pm on a Tuesday) - however there are some independent restaurants on the lower floors(I think it was the 25th) which were still open and the helpful staff directed us to.
The breakfast (2000 yen) up on the top floor was great - a full continental buffet which would keep anybody happy. The views were once again breathtaking.
I would highly recommend this hotel to any traveller who is either flying in or out of Kansai airport and needs a place to stay - it's just a 5 minute train ride from the airport.

“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The room condition is Quite old but clean and well maintenance The a/c is work for cold and heater and it's done well and silent. There are also free hi-speed Internet in room. Just across the street you will find a huge outlet mall and many many restaurant. In the hotel there are some good restaurant on the top of the building and I recommend "shabu shabu all you can eat" on 52 floor but you better booked first!

Room Tip: Some floor has vending machine some has ice-maker machine. Ask for smoke or non-smoking room.

“No shuttle now, no porters”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

My wife stayed at this hotel and we chose as it offered a shuttle. Well, there is no shuttle and a taxi fare from here across the bridge is 3000 Y. There is also no porter so she had to lug her suitcases up to the room. Outside, the hotel looks great but very, very basic inside. For this sort of money, you should stay across the bridge at the Kansai airport hotel - pretty much has the same rates but better quality in service and facilities. We would not stay here again and would recommend travellers find better value options.
