"This traditional Japanese Inn is thoroughly modern with excellent facilities, rooms, Michelin quality food, and helpful staff. We want to call out ‘Mikki’ who was super kind and helped us with any language barriers we had. The entire restaurant staff was amazing and we are grateful to meet the chef. The onsens were also wonderful. A room here with breakfast and dinner included is an excellent value."

"Stale old place that doesn’t live up. Breakfast consisted of persimmon-hushing from a store tossed at the table the night before. Cold water and a tiny toilet only. The onsen „experience“ was a 20 min drive away, how relaxing is that. Needless to say, I did not stay at this dump. I booked a hotel close by for the same price, it was excellent and delivered an amazing breakfast too, besides having an in-House onsen"

OMO Kansai Airport by Hoshino Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very memorable time for our family. Very clean, quite and easy access to go to the station and stores, (711, Lawson, Family Mart and the supermarket). There's a little hiccup when we had to move room cus our AC leaked but they made thing right by giving us free breakfast for the rest of the stay. The breakfast was great with so many varieties to choose from. Definitely a recommended place to stay when you are in Osaka."
