Near to the station, convenient store, supermarket and few restaurants (non halal). A very quiet place and I thought I was in the Zombiland until we are afraid to cough in the house. House owner already warned us not to make noise and talk to the neighbour 😂 Map given quit complicated, but I managed to find an easy way to the station. But I am still gonna stay here again if visit Osaka again. Thanks for house owner for always available when we need🤗

This APA hotel located nearby Shin Osaka station, if you planned to catch shinkansen for day trip it is perfect place to stay. The room size was alright, maybe for most of western people it's unacceptable. Cleanliness and amenities are good. T here are convenience store nearby as well. Staff was friendly and helpful even their English was okay. They can help us to send the luggage to next Hotel we stay.

This is a small hotel located right beside the Shin-Osaka Station. The neighborhood is very quiet owing to it being some kilometers away from the shopping district of Umeda. But being located next to train station makes getting around easy. Our group is travelling to Tokyo via Shinkansen after our stay in Osaka so this makes the location of the hotel superb. We don't have to crowd in the city trains with our baggage during rush hour. And we can leave our hotel at a later time since we are just a few steps away. Locating this hotel might be difficult at first but the trick here is to take the east exit and turn right on every street surrounding the station. The room we stayed in is really tiny. With just room for a decent-sized bed and not much else. For guests with many baggage or with big baggage, you really need to take turns opening your suitcase as some people have suggested. However, the rooms are clean and they provide near complete amenities (i.e toothbrush, razor, etc.) They have a breakfast buffet at 500 yen per person. For that price I believe the selection of food they offer is more than decent. The staff there spoke little English but there seems to be always one staff available that could handle most basic enquiries in English.They also have a couple of computers in the lobby for people to surf (for free) and they also have free wifi in their lobby. If I would return to Osaka, I would still stay in this hotel. The tiny rooms are just a little compromise in my opinion.

conveniently located next to shin osaka station, with the subway line only 2 mins walk away. great for travelling via shinkansen (about 5 mins walk), JR or subway lines via exit 6 or 7. hotel room was clean and comfortable with the necessary amenities. hotel staff was friendly and able to address all my questions. there is also a family mart next to the hotel. would definitely recommend especially if you are looking at staying near the shin osaka station.

I stayed three nights. My single room was small but comfortable enough, and good value. Quite modern and nice and clean. It didn't have a view which was a shame, although an opening window was nice even if it was only on to a light well/breeze way. It's actually quite easy to reach from Shin Osaka once you figure out the station and the surrounding walkways and overbridges, but that took me a couple of days! It was convenient for the train for sightseeing around Osaka and Nara, as well as my onward travel by shinkansen. I had a good meal at the restaurant on the ground floor. One thing to bear in mind is that there is also a VIA INN Shin-Osaka on the other side of the station, Google maps helpfully took me there without me realising my mistake.

The best thing about this hotel is that is very close to Shin-Osaka Station. Please note that Shin-Osaka is NOT the center of downtown Osaka, so you will have to use the trains to access Dotobori and other popular shopping areas which was easy to navigate in English. Before coming to Japan, I was expecting my room to be really small but it was surprising not that small. It was a good-enough size for a solo traveler. The room was clean enough, but not sparkling clean. The hotel was more of a 3-star hotel to me. I liked that the hotel provides pajamas, slippers, and toothbrush and toothpaste, which seems common in Japan. I did not eat at the restaurant in the hotel because Shin-Osaka Station had plenty of restaurants for food. Check-in and check-out was easy, the staff spoke English well enough. I was able to leave my luggage at the hotel for a few hours after I checked out to explore the city before departing for my next city.

The hotel itself is more spacious than other 3 star hotels in Japan and location is perfect! It's 5 mins. walk to the Midotsuji subway station and Shin-Osaka JR Station, which means you can go to anywhere you want to go. Shin-Osaka is also where the Shinkansen stop is and there's airport bus transfer from Shin-Osaka to Itami airport, so the hotel is perfectly located for anyone, especially with heavy/many luggages. 7-Eleven and Nakau (Japanese fastfood restaurant) is just a minute away from the hotel also and Shin-Osaka has restaurants, so food's not a problem. The plus point for this hotel than any other hotels I've stayed in Japan is it provides a free android mobile in your room, which you can bring out and used for Google map and browsing the internet. The data on the mobile will clear out on the day of your check out. And it has discount vouchers which you can use for some tourist locations in Osaka. Overall great experience staying in this hotel!

I have so many great things to say about this hotel. First off the staff was so very nice to us, I had many questions and requests upon my arrival and they obliged me. They were super easy going and sweet and even did me a big favor. The room was very small, however it was extremely clean and modern. They did their best to make me and my friends comfortable. I will be returning to this hotel in the future as a solo traveller. The location is close to the Shin-Osaka station which was extremely convenient, and there were many great shops nearby the hotel. There was even a convenience store directly outside. Definitely an amazing place.

Like most Japanese Hotel rooms, everything is very compact but fit for purpose! The location is excellent, only a 5-10 minute walk from Shin-Osaka Station. It did take a GPS search on our phones initially to find it but its more because of the surroundings of the station that is confusing (car parks, highways, under bridge tunnels etc.) but once you locate it, its easy to get to. There are 2 convenience stores on the way to the hotel and the station itself is packed with restaurants and shops as it is a major station. It is also a Shinkansen Station and only a stop away from Osaka Station itself. There is also a high speed train that runs through Shin-Osaka station to Kansai Airport which is very convenient and also included in your JR pass! The hotel facilities are new and clean, their breakfast is catered by an adjoining restaurant where there is a very good buffet selection of both western and asian cuisine. The room is compact but sufficient, the bathroom is on the small side, water pressure is good and provided amenities are of good quality. One thing I was a little disappointed with was that for people who had early travel plans, there is no alternative breakfast option, you simply miss the breakfast you paid for because the restaurant is not open when you leave in the morning.

was in osaka for 3 days and decided to lodge at this hotel for convenient sake bacause it is loacated in shin osaka (for shinkansen line). hotel a little far from jr shin osaka but very near a non-jr station (forgot about the name(, about 15 minutes walk. room is small (standard in japan) but is clean and really nice. internet service is available for free!!! no breakfast provided though.

First, the hotel is conveniently located within a walking distance from the Shin-Osaka station - the biggest transportation hub in the Kansai area - which means you can get anywhere you want quickly. It does mean though that you will hear train noise (As for me I sleep like a log so I didn't mind but maybe it'll be a problem for others). The lobby looks incredibly luxurious and has two or three (don't remember) restaurants inside. The rooms however are standard 3-star grade. This is still more than enough if you use the hotel mainly for bed and shower. The price was great, though it was a last minute booking so I don't know what the usual prices are. Staff are friendly and they try to have at least one decent English-speaking employee at the front desk at all times. One annoying thing is that removing the key from the slot near the door shuts-down all electricity, so can't charge the laptop while away. Overall it's a great hotel when traveling in Osaka. Check them out if you're around.

The room size was small, but this is standard for Japanese hotels. It was very clean with fast LAN internet connection. The hotel was just a 5 minute walk from Shin-Osaka, and very easy to find. I chose to stay here because I was connecting to Kyoto and Kobe, and needed to catch the train from Shin Osaka. Easy access to public transportation was also a factor in my choice, as subway lines and train lines all pass through Shin Osaka.

I stayed here for four nights in a double room with my father. Previous comments have all stated that the rooms were small, but I didn't find that to be a problem at all. Honestly, it's a Japanese hotel room. I would agree that the hotel was a bit difficult to find at first, but the train station attendant at the Shin-Osaka train station had a map and the hotel was easily marked on her map. The hotel itself is indeed closer to the Minamigata subway station, but the Minamigata station also has a local JR line that goes up to Kyoto (takes about an hour, and it's only 320 yen vs. 540 yen from Shin-Osaka on the rapid JR trains). It is about a 15-20 min walk from the Shin-Osaka station. The street you walk on has plenty of local eateries and convenience stores and since you are in Japan, it's really not dangerous whatsoever. Others that stayed at the hotel hated the pillow, but we found that if you flipped the pillow on the other non-beaded side, they were perfectly fine and acceptable. I slept comfortably every night because we spent so much time sightseeing and walking around both Osaka and Kyoto. It was definitely a good convenient "home base" for us and our sightseeing. I have now stayed at 3 Japanese hotels and this was just as nice if not nicer than all the others. The ONLY negative I can think of about this hotel is the train tracks. If you can, try to get a room on the side without the train unless you can tolerate it. The train woke us up every morning because you can hear at least 1 or 2 track crossings from the hotel room.

We stayed here and used it as a base to explore Osaka, Kyoto, Himeji and Kobe. The location is fantastic and within 2-3 minutes of two train stations, which connects to the Shinkansen station in Shin-Osaka at the next stop for high speed travel to nearby cities as well as easy access to downtown Namba districts for shopping and food in Dotonburi within 20 minutes on the subway. Hotel may be a tad old, but it is well maintained and facilities are clean and neat.

The place is ok to travel from Shin-Osaka Station but walking with big bulky luggages will be quite a challenge. However, a taxi is not very far away to take those menacing bags for you. Do ask for a Japanese address though, lest the taxi driver did not know where to go. I love the location of Family Mart and Lawson which is literally just below the apartment. Lovely host, fast pocket wifi, and clean room! Very easy to travel to Kyoto, Nara, Arashiyama, and Shinsaibashi.

Excelente y ubicado a unas siete cuadras a pie en la estación Shin Osaka resulta conveniente para movilizarse en el centro de la ciudad y tomar el tren JR Hacia distintos puntos de Japón. El departamento posee todas las comodidades inclusive nos sorprendió para los estándares japoneses. Si bien pequeño y espacios reducidos tiene todo lo necesario para que hasta máximo de personas puedan estar cómodos. Tiene una cocina que permite cocinar lo que sean necesarios bien equipada ducha con bañera y un balcón donde puede recordar la ropa. En la planta baja hay un sistema de lavaderos que está abierto pareciera toda la noche y en la esquina hay un Lawson y family mart Tiendas que permiten comprar casi de todo las 24 horas del día. la camas son cómodas y las sábanas están limpias y bien cuidadas televisión y ahora condicionado. Sin dudas volvería a este lugar si tengo que regresar a esta hermosa ciudad y país. El precio y la relación calidad costo son excelentes. Excellent and located about seven blocks walk at Shin Osaka station it is convenient to get around the city center and take the JR train to different points in Japan. The department has all the comforts even surprised us by Japanese standards. Although small and small spaces it has everything necessary so that up to maximum people can be comfortable. It has a kitchen that allows you to cook whatever necessary well equipped shower with bathtub and a balcony where you can remember the clothes. On the ground floor there is a laundry system that is open it seems all night and in the corner there is a Lawson and family mart Shops that allow you to buy almost everything 24 hours a day. the beds are comfortable and the sheets are clean and well maintained TV and now conditioned. I would definitely return to this place if I have to return to this beautiful city and country. The price and value for money are excellent.   

Cosy little apartment. It has every basic essential that one may need to have a comfortable stay. Hostess is a very thoughtful person n always answer your query very promptly. Clean n well equipped, though maybe a bit far approx 8-10mins walk to the nearest train station for some, I would recommend this place to my friends n would stay again in my next visit to Osaka.

I planned on doing day trips from Osaka on the JR Trains and this hotel was in a great location for that, about 3 blocks from the Shin-Osaka station. There a many restaurants as well as supermarkets nearby. NIce having laundry facility on-site. Rooms are a bit small, but for the price I can't complain. It is a bit further from the top attractions of Osaka like Dotomburi, Namba areas, but still easily enough to get to on the metro train

This Place was great.. you can stop either at Nishinakajima minamigata station and minamikata station (for both station you walk around 6 minutes), or you can stop at Shin osaka station. I always stop at Nishinakajima minamigata station due to efficient access to namba or shinsaibashi... And since i hold JR Wide Kansai Pass, so from Nishinakajima minamigata station ( i was so lazy to walk :) ) i stop at Shin osaka ( 1 station only) then take Shinkansen to other city near kansai. you can take Haruka also at Shin OSaka station. the owner Nakata san, was so helpfull and very responsive person. i am quite asked him so many times to ensure my comfortably staying there (this is my first time using Apato in Japan, usually i always stay at hotel). Love it very much staying there...
