Very Nice, Clean, Beautiful Hotel”

AGODA HOTEL REVIEW Karaksa Hotel Osaka Namba I stayed in this hotel with my friends and we rented out 3 Twin rooms for the 6 of us. We enjoyed the newness and cleanliness of the hotel. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast, free wifi and we enjoyed the hospitality of the staff. The rooms were clean and bigger than most rooms that I had the previledge to stay for a time (comparing the room size to hotels found in Tokyo). The facilities in the rooms are well laid out and thought out. There’s a separate bath area and separate water closet. Very convenient if there are 2 people in the room and one wants to take a bath, and the other wants to use the loo. There’s a TV that shows local channnels and there are shampoo, conditioner, body soap in the shower area. There is also a set of pajamas free for use. The shower amenities are found in the hotel lobby, like the comb, bath sponge, razor and hair ties/cotton swabs/cotton wipes. We also enjoyed the shuttle service that they provided that took us back to the airport for ¥1,000 per person (prior reservation required). Very nice hotel and if given the chance to come back, we will still book in the same hotel.

A satisfying stay”

I like the hotel 's 7am-10am free breakfast which consists of yogurt with frozen berries, canned peaches and oranges. 3 types of hot soup, many types of hot /cold drinks to choose, fresh pastries, fried rice /noodles and chicken meat, sausages, hashbrown and salads. At every 2pm-9pm there is free tea time for every guest to have hot soups and variety of hot/cold drinks. Rice biscuits and snack are served too. This is a unique hotel which make guests comfortable and satisfied with its cleanliness, quietness and convenience. The hotel is surrounded with food stalls and convenient stores. We shall never go hungry staying here. On our departure day, the staff continuously kept us informed regarding the coming typhoon Jebi, about the time of any public transport on hold and advised us which train station to go. I wish to warn other guests that this hotel is Karaksa hotel Namba because one night we stopped in a wrong hotel nearby which is called Karaksa hotel Shinsaibashi!

Excellent!”

We loved our stay at the Karaksa Hotel in Osaka (Namba)! The room was small by American standards, but it was actually the biggest room that we had on our trip. The shower and sink is separate from the toilet room, so that was very convenient. The hotel is very clean and modern. We were on the top floor and the elevator was very fast... we never had to wait long to come or go to our room. The breakfast that came with our room was adequate. It is advertised as a “western breakfast.” There are some things that fall into that category (waffles, pancakes, yogurt and fruit, and two options of dry cereal, scrambled eggs... done differently than what were used to though, rolls and bread for toast). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only minor issue is that the subway is not really close. It’s about a 10 minute walk. This was not an issue for us, but some might find that inconvenient. Overall, our stay was wonderful and we would definitely return to this hotel!

One of the BEST”

Karaksa Hotel is one of the BEST hotel, i’ve stayed in OSAKA. Premises especially the room was soo clean and smells good, cause all of their rooms are non-smoking. STAFF superb service especially Marques. Also a wide range of buffet breakfast to choose from. Hope they have a free shuttle service to and from train stations. Hotel is quite far from Namba Station, it’s 10mins walk. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in KARAKSA and will definitely come back. Very recommendable to all travellers out there.

Definitely will go back to stay this hotel again!”

Location is strategically located in Namba. 5 minutes walk from exit 25 at Namba station. Room is spacious in Japan hotel standard. Shower room is separated from toilet, convenient for two guests stay together. Hotel offer free breakfast, which is a merit. The breakfast is simple yet acceptable. However, the breakfast dining area is a little bit small. If you go before 9am, there are plenty of seats. Free shuttle bus to airport is very convenient for us, as we have heavy luggages. Staff are from multinationals, there is Chinese, Thai and English speaking staff. There are free welcome drinks and snacks in lobby at 2pm to 9pm. I'll definitely go back to stay this hotel again. I have also recommend this hotel to my friends. Thank you Karaksa Hotel Namba.

great place to stay”

This hotel is in between Shinsaibashi Station and Namba Station. It is very convenient to go to Shin Osaka Station from Shinsaibashi Station and to Nankai Namba Station (for the airport). We had 2 adjoining rooms which were quite big for Japan standards and the bathrooms were nice. The toilet (which had a mini sink) was separate from the shower and main sink. They provided us with complete amenities, including body towels, hairbrushes, shavers and most importantly, fresh pajamas everyday. This was so convenient for our tired weary bodies at the end of the day. The breakfast was good and there were no additional charges. There were also vending machines for coffee, juice, soda, hot chocolate, tea and water with biscuits available from 2 - 9 pm. We really enjoyed our stay and intend to book again if and when we visit Osaka.

Ideal location hotel in Osaka, value for money, clean and near to everything”

Karaksa hotel offers you the best location with the best price! Experience the best of Osaka through Karaksa Hotel! You dont have to spend so much to experience Osaka! Their bed is very comfortable, the linens are very soft, free yummy breakfast and unlimited drinks between 2-9pm( juice, coffee, milk tea, water, soup)at the lobby. Will definitely come back and recommend to family and friends!

Best hotel for anything!”

Very impressed with this hotel. Here are the reasons : 1. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Even the bathroom is very clean (i often find small stain here and there especially in the toilet bowl in other hotel, or some bad smells, but there are none of them here. It looks new). 2. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. They have korean, chinese and indonesian staffs. They helped us calling taxis to station, showed us which station entrance with elevator and even told the driver the address. 3. Have free breakfast and afternoon to night free drink machines - okay the choice of the breakfast was not much but good enough for us. Simple ones with drink machines that offer matcha latte, coffees, sodas, even 3 choices of soup. Free of charge. If u get something for free i think what they offers are good enough. 4. I like the ideas of having space unser the bed to store the luggages. 5. The bed is comfortable and clean (not dusty). 6. Very close to shinsaibashi and 5 mins quick walk to station. Many restaurants (high rated on tripadvisors) around the area like the eggs and things pancake and red rock. The room itself is pretty spacious for a japanese hotel. I can put a stroller and open 2 big luggages easily. If you are from Indonesia you dont need to bring travel adaptor here. Overall its a very good hotel for its price (honestly i like karaksa more than the hotel in tokyo which i pay 100 usd more per night, no breakfast, finger marks on window, dusty room...)

Excellent Hotel with Helpful Staff ”

We stayed 5 nights in Karaksa Hotel Namba & were pleasantly surprised with the great staff the hotel had. It was easy to communicate with them as as they spoke very good English & were courteous.. They were very helpful & would go all way out to render their assistance when needed.. Rooms are clean & well maintained . The hotel shuttle bus at 1000yen per pax to KIX airport was reasonable &. most importantly, very convenient for guests who need not lug their luggages around the streets & station to get to the airport. Had a comfortable & great stay there.

Friendly staff and comfortable bed ”

Hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Good location near Dotonbori but not easy to find as it’s located in a small alley opposite Cross Hotel. 5 mins walk from Namba Station exit 25. Guest room is clean with comfortable bed, however, it is small and didn’t tidy room everyday. Breakfast provided was delicious and help us saved our cost on meal. We enjoy our stay in Karaksa Hotel Osaka Namba.

Awesome hotel”

Location was fantastic with eateries and family mart located right outside the hotel. Less than 5 mins walk to dontoburi and shinsaibashi. If you like walking, takes about 20mins to walk to kuromon market only. Walking time of less than 10mins to namba and namb osaka station. Hotel provides a wide range of beverages complimentary. Size of room was bigger than I expected. Mattress' firmness was jus right - had a good night sleep. What I loved most is the shower room! The shower water pressure was great - best hotel so far. Staff are polite and can communicate in English. Improvements - 1. cooked breakfast dishes tend to be salty. It would be nice to offer udon soup for breakfast. 2. Provide english TV channels. Only japanese available. Overall, I would stay in this hotel again!

Located on key places and stations in Osaka”

The hotel stands on a good location within Namba. Dotonbori is a few blocks away (about 5-8 minutes walk). Karaksaka Hotel Namba is very close to bus and train stations you'll utilize to get around Osaka. There are a number of good places to dine around the hotel vicinity. It is fun just to walk around and find new places to eat. There are fine Takoyaki Restos and Izakayas around the corner. Family Mart is basically right at your doorstep. It is also very close to the shopping district of Shinsaibashi, you won't have any problems hauling what you bought back to your accomodation. For the younger people, Americamura is also quite close with enough stores to cater to their modern or vintage needs. We appreciate their efforts to be green and minimize carbon footprint.

Meet your needs”

The location of Karaksa Namba is excellent, with everything you want and need at your doorstep. The room itself, whilst isn't big, is clean and comfortable. Certain room layouts work better than others. The inclusion of breakfast is awesome with lots of vegetable options to get your quota for the day. The afternoon use of coffee/tea facilities at the lobby is also much appreciated. Best of all is the direct shuttle service between their hotels and Kansai (at 1000yen per person), which saves you dragging luggage to the train station. Staff are all polite, helpful and speaks good English.

Wonderfully located, breakfast included, drinks included, clean, friendly and modern”

Very convenient only minutes away from Shinsaibashi and Namba subway stations, JR Namba station and Shinsaibashi shopping strip, close to very very good restaurants. The hotel was very modern with friendly staff, complimentary daily breakfast, free drinks all day. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Osaka.

Exceptional”

Location is excellent for shopping and food at Shinsaibashi n Dotonbori respectively. Centre of two stations namely Jr Osaka n Namba subway socwell connected to other places of interest n both stations are walkable to access. Only cons is directions for a first time traveller as to how to get to hotel from station. Maybe a pick up for a small fee from the station to the hotel or a drawn map on the website for directional purpose. Due to language barrier, instructions from train staff may not be too clear.

5 stars location with 5 stars service”

The location is perfect, in between Namba and Shinsaibashi. 5 m8nutes to Donki, Ichiran, Namba Walk, Dotonbori. Room is big for Japan standard and love separate shower and toilet. Will certainly stay at this hotel again for visit to Osaka

Exceptional”

Great location, it was an easy 5 minute walk to Dotonbori. Good breakfast and free drinks from 2pm to 9pm. Rooms where clean and new. They have a shuttle service from hotel to Kansai airport for 1000 yen per person. Staff are friendly and speak good english. Highly recommend Karaksa Namba Hotel.

Exceptional”

value - new hotel, very clean, excellent service, comfortable location - find it nearer to walk to Shinsaibashi JR station (around 5-8min), abit far walking distance with luggage from bus limo drop off point at OCAT. but around the hotel, it is near donburi, family mart is just outside the hotel and many attractions cleanliness - no doubt for Japanese's high standard, hotel is really clean staff - no problem conversing in English. My family would like to especially thank Mr Masayuki Goto and the lovely hotel staffs (so sorry could not get each of your names) for your help with our trip (with phone call translation, leading us personally with directions etc), we would love to come back again and thank you all once more. facilities - breakfast was simple yet delicious, we had a great start in the morning thanks to the meals overall, would highly recommend to those visiting Osaka and Kansai area for the first time as the location is really good to roam around easily.

Great location!”

1) great location: close to Shinsaibashi station and Namba Station, shopping area, lots of restaurants, convenient store just at the corner of street 2) new hotel and clean 3) free shuttle to airport - this service worked out great for us as we had small children (need to book at the reception) 4) some free refreshments 2-9pm which was good when we dropped off our shopping at the hotel and could have some drinks before we headed out again. Special thank you to Hayashi for his help with some activity booking.
