APA Hotel Shin-Osaka-Ekiminami

This APA hotel is very good. Located very close to shin-Osaka station, very comfortable if you are traveling around Japan. Easy for day trips to Kyoto and other places. The area is quiet ( you don't hear the trains), not too much going on around. The staff was polite and helpful. Some speak English, some not. Breakfast was tasty, Japanese style, not too much choice, but enough for me. Some people wrote in the review that it's impossible to control the A/C in the room. Well in my room it was possible - you have a/C display on the bed. The bed is super comfy , I slept well.

I enjoyed the fact that the room was clean and compact. It was close to a convenience store so I was able to get dinner and eat in my room. I also liked how close it was to the station so when I realized I forgot to get gifts at 945pm I was able to dash and find a place still open. Check out was easy too. Staff were fantastic. If I am traveling for work again I will stay here.

Staff were amazingly polite and helpful. I went to a different APA hotel and the lady on reception walked me to the correct hotel about a few minutes' walk away. The room was very comfortable and clean – I had everything I needed. I booked this hotel about 10 minutes before I arrived and check-in was seamless. Price was very good too.

Good for value of money. Friendly staff and comfy bed. A few Convenient stores and restaurants are located within walkable distance.

Walking distance to the train was great, we only stayed one night and my son stayed 2 nights. I don’t remember if there was a convenient store close but there was a Pizza Hut! Staff was very nice and helpful as well. Pretty close to Dontonburi and not too far from Universal Studios.
