Good stay

This hotel is right next to a shrine, which is relatively quiet. But you could reach to the main street, and metro/train station within walking distance. Overall, it is a good stay.

Nice and clean hotel in Sannomiya

I had to take a 4:40 am shuttle to Kansai Airport. since the trains were not running i had to book a hotel by the bus station. Apa has always been my pick nice clean and affordable hotels in Japan. This one was right by the Ikuta Jinja. it was quite busy because it was New Year’s day so everyone was going to the Temple to pray for good fortune and health for 2025. it was still very quite and i got nice time lapse of people visiting the temple from one of the windows. Location is great because you are surrounded by restaurants, shops, pubs/bars of Sannomiya.

スタッフさんがみなさん丁寧に気持ちよく接してくれて、大変嬉しかったです ただ、お部屋に関して2点不満があります ・暑かったせいもあるのですが、外からお部屋に入ると臭いがこもっていて少し不快になりました　窓も開けられませんでした ・こちらが辛かったです　枕カバーやタオル類のリネンが生乾き臭（？）がして、何をしてても臭うので辛かったです 上記は2点とも季節によってなのかなといい方に考えてます
