During cooler seasons many hotels in Japan including this one turn off their central AC to save energy. I and I’m sure many other people still prefer a cool room. Unfortunately because the AC was turned off the room was always hot and when I talked to the staff they simply tell you to open the window which only allows so much air to come in. I feel that if you pay for the room you should be able to have full control over things like that. At night I would constantly toss and turn because of the warm temperature.

Very convenient area close to the subway. Staff were super customer service and went over and above what i would expect. I left my laptop in a cab and staff helped me phone the police department to confirm that the in fact had it before I made my way down to pick it up. All this was in japanese as english is my first language.

Ok but not worth it

Near the subway but far from both dotonbori and Umeda so had to rely on it. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Spa is ok but tiny The room was the smallest I’ve ever been in and I paid the most for the entire trip. Totally not worth it

Standard APA Hotel; however, the single room is smaller than the single rooms in Kobe and Himeji. Cleanliness is good and provided ammenities are good as well. Perfect for solo travelers and duo travelers (packing light).

The staff were nice, and spoke relatively decent English, which made it easier to communicate (which was much appreciated). However, the room that we were set up in smelt horribly of cigarette smoke, and the only way we could get rid of it was by running the air conditioning for a very long time. Overall, the building was very nice, but our room, I don’t know about other rooms. But our room was not nice.

Decent hotel stay. Not enough dining options very close by, so you’ll need to walk up close to Umeda, but it’s not an issue. Staff were kind, it’s APA, so you get what you pay for.

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.
