Hotel had a damp smell once you entered the reception area and got worse when we went to our room . The room was so dusty and I felt so uncomfortable sleeping there we had to leave even though we paid for 5nights .

The room was little small but so clean! There is an onsen downstairs. It was good too! Only one woman stuff attitude made me uncomfortable because of her rudeness. It is very rare happened in japan though. I felt she just didn’t respect customers. She didn’t feel thankful to customers at all. That how I felt. I don’t care she likes the job or not but she should respect and act polite to all customers especially the customers are polite to her.
Except her, everything was awesome!
Great hotel short distance from Sakai station. Clean and good location, would recommend.

Thank you so much for your kind words- we really happy to know that you enjoyed your stay with us.its great to know that you found us convenient for the train station.we hope to welcome you back again soon.
I chose this hotel over more expensive hotels because it was highly rated for cleanliness. It was acceptable. The room was overall pretty clean but the "unit bath" smelled of mildew. And the carpet under the beds has lots of dust balls. Look at your own risk! The Japanese breakfast was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised by the public bath. The water temperature was hot and relaxing. The changing area does get crowded, despite their cutting down lockers as a Covid measure. The staff were professional and helpful. (I spoke to them mostly in Japanese.)
I would consider coming back alone, but won't take my mom back here because she didn't like the mildew smell and the room was cramped for the two of us plus all our luggage.

An excellent hotel right across the street from The train station. A big surprise was the happy hour included from 6 PM to 8 PM. The Breakfast is Japanese oriented but the western entrées are sufficient. The pajamas provided for in room use werr comfortable Overall an excellent experience. I would stay here again.

Great Location new hotel, but a noisy
Overall, it is a great location and new hotel. However, the sound insulation is not great. A lot of noise when customers are talking at the corridor.

The property was a very nice distance from Kansai Airport by train and was very nice. Super easy to find as they have their name in big English letters on the building. Room was kind of small but the property was very nice otherwise.
Very nice hotel right across a train station and shopping centre. Not part of subway line but convenient access to airport, mount kongo, mount koya, sumiyoshi taisha and other destinations. Nice breakfast selection, free drinks every afternoon and also nice indoor onsen.

this is the second time we (2 adults + 8yr old) returned to this after 2 nights in other hotel.
At first it was the price which was relatively reasonable.
However, given the location next to the train station, staff, room conditions.
It was worth our stay.
Quick check in.
Staff can speak english.
VERY clean room and bathroom.
Location only 200m from Sakai station.
Several restaurants nearby within a few hundred metres.
Free internet.
Realtively room rate is not expensive.

If you are looking for one of the most valuable investment choice, this hotel is your solution in case you can wake up within 08.00am to enjoy their breakfast and also you have only 2 members per 1 room
But if you have more budget and looking for excellent hotel this may not answer
Location is great, but we bought the wrong ticket , it would be JR Nankai 2days rather than Osaka loop anyway another Kansai 3 days is matching for travelling from here to Osaka neighborhood cities like Kyoto etc…
