Cleanliness
7.4
Mixed comments in reviews: several guests noted rooms were very clean, while at least one review explicitly mentioned poor cleanliness. Overall slightly below target due to that negative mention.
Service
9.2
Consistently praised across reviews: staff described as very friendly, helpful, went above and beyond (assisted during a typhoon, early shuttle coordination, attentive check-in). Strong positive sentiment.
Location
9
Very positive: repeatedly noted proximity to the train station and short transfer time to Kansai Airport; ideal for early flights. Some mentions that the immediate surroundings aren't scenic, but location convenience is a major plus.
Room Quality
6.8
Mixed-to-negative: several guests mentioned dated furniture and decoration and that beds/pillows could be more comfortable; one guest noted an unusual room placement with an exterior entrance. Low score reflects these recurring room-quality issues.

8.8
Frequently described as good value or advantageous price-wise; practical choice for a short stay before flights. Positive sentiment overall.

A great hotel especially if your flight is around 9am to 1PM from KIX airport since it’s nearby and offers shuttle servi
Pros:

The airport is a 4-5minute walk from nearest Izumio station (pardon my spelling if wrong) on Nankai line which is directly connected to Namba station about 35-40 minutes away. They had a good shuttle service which is only for drop 4 times in the morning. The shuttle was right at time and helped to drop to T1 also in around 25 minutes. There is a nearby 7-11 also and few restaurants but since we are vegetarian we couldn’t explore more. The room was good and more spacious as compared to our other rooms in Japan. The hotel staff was friendly.

Pros:

Nice and useful location just after landing, clean chamber, really helpful staff ! You could think it is only the bare minimum for a price like that but clearly not, it is far better. Keep going !

Tout proche de l'aéroport
Pros:

Je suis arrivée à l'hôtel par le train, la gare est toute proche. Un petit supermarché Lawson est à côté.
J'ai choisi cet hôtel pour sa proximité avec l'aéroport de Osaka. La veille de mon départ le personnel m'a donné les informations pour utiliser la navette gratuite pour rejoindre l'aéroport.
Très satisfaite de cette option, pour un prochain voyage je n'hésiterai pas à revenir dans cet hôtel.
Merci pour votre accueil
