Convenient and comfy stay

Booked this lodging pretty late, but enjoyed staying at this chain. The location was surprisingly convenient as it was really close to the metro entrance. The area was relatively quiet, but really accessible to the touristy areas of the city. Comfy rooms overall. A nice stay that is easy to travel from.

I try to stay at APA hotels while in Japan as they are always clean and safe and the staff are always polite and professional. This hotel is near restaurants and convenience stores and the Tokyo metro is connected to the hotel so it’s easy to get around. The ramen place across the road is amazing. I highly recommend this hotel to stay at when visiting Osaka.

close to all kinds of transportation: taxis, trains subways, shinkansen. close to all the major Osaka attractions. Castle, temples, Dotonbori, Umeda Tower, temples, etc. can't get bored even when it's raining and very affordable. Maybe not for kids. I was solo. Close to many tours around Kansai area. Great for day trips even to Kyoto, Himeji, Kobe, Kanazawa, Nara using APA as a home base. Even has a sento.

Close to two different subways, one of the subway you have to walk about 10mins ish to get to the closest station but still quite convenient. The room I was in was quite smaller than what I imagine but it was good for just one person. Overall a reasonable stay. P.S. the check in is quite slow as you have to check in with the computer.
