Kansai Airport Washington Hotel

Kansai Airport Washington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast buffet has improved substantially from several years ago; kudos to an amazing & delicious variety! Room is slightly larger than most Japanese hotels, and I appreciate the extra pillow provided. It’s also convenient to have Family Mart inside the hotel; good variety of selection and friendly staff. I love staying here whenever I come to KIX."
