I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff were friendly and the are plenty of amenities like a 24/7 7-11 store on the 4th floor, which I made use of many times for breakfast or a light lunch. The onsen onsite is a highlight for me. I liked that they provided yukata robes and slippers for all guests. There are some issues with this hotel though. First, the hallways are open to the outside so it can feel quite cold when you're only wearing robes. Second, the 4th floor is open to the outside. When it rains, the furniture in the lounge area gets wet. They hotel should put a canopy over the furniture so that it stays dry. I find it slightly annoying that the power outlets switch off when the key card is removed. I found out later that the outlets by the bed stay on when the room key is removed. I was also annoying that my room didn't have a clothes line for drying wet clothes. You can drape clothes on the shower curtain rod, but it would have been nice to have a clothes line. The baggage storage when I checked out was very busy too. Perhaps the hotel could let the guests leave their luggage in the room instead of going to the lobby. Or have a QR code in the room.

The plus is the onsen on property ! So convenient and clean and wonderful!! The area has soooo many options for food and shopping. The rail and bus services are straight out the door in the OCAT terminal. People are so helpful polite and kind. I’ll be back for sure.

What we didnt like was the air-conditioning comfort was hot. The ac was not cooling at night when we needed a good nights sleep. Very hot and uncomfortable. We do not plan to stay at another APA hotel ever again. We will be sharing that with iur family and friends.

The hotel was very nice. Looks very luxurious. Check in was a bit of a pain as I had to wait for my friend to arrive in order to check in as you have to scan the passport of the number of occupants in the room and their home address. The machine was also glitching so it took longer than expected. Check out on the other had was a breeze. The rooms are typical for Japan… smaller to what I’m used to, but still nice and had all the comfort I needed. Beds and pillows were comfortable and they give you two pillows of different firmness. I reserved with breakfast included and it did not disappoint. It was wonderful and had both western and Japanese variety. It was also very convenient as it a 15 min walk from Dotonburi (lots of shops and food options) and it was a 6min walk from the station (just be aware that the station is massive and if you exit from the wrong area, it could take longer to walk to the station. Getting around was easy. I would stay here again and would recommend it for someone who isn’t into hostels or airbnb.

The design of this hotel felt like it was upper scale and overly fancy even if it is an ordinary chain found throughout all of japan. A newer building recently built from what ive been told and it sure feels that way. Room was small but on a high floor and not to bad. Comfortable beds. Very close to Dotonburi and train station. A for sure return to this APA when i am in Osaka once again.

The room was a wee bit small for 2 shopaholics at the end of a 10 day vacation but we managed to store our luggage and bags under the bed. Loved the location of this hotel. 5 minute walk to Dotonburi area and start of shopping streets. Great little bakery across the street, 7-11 across the street(and in the hotel), and Namba Station as well as airport bus terminal right behind the hotel.

Yes i am definyely staying here again when i visit Osaka. Pro: built in 2024; very clean; fabulous public bath so nice to relax in after walking all day: stayed in double connecting room since family of 4; room had extras like shaver, toothpaste and toothbrush, hairtie; comb, disposable slippers; kettle, and drinking water in the hallway on every floor; a 7 eleven on 4th floor; walk out of the exit by the coffee shop and 1 min into the OCAT building and Namba subway station underneath. Also at OCAT building is taxi stop and direct airport bus to both Osaka airports. In the underground Namba station ia also an extensive food and shopping area and which exits near Dotonburi area. Underground goes for miles with many exits. Above ground only about 10 min walk to Dotonburi area. Grocery store and pharmacy underneath OCAT. There are so many reasons to stay at this property. Now for the Cons: self checkin so not enough staff to assist; Luggage storage only 2 staff and long lineup in the morning but staff very helpful; Tiny place for double room; on cold rainy day they had central air con on and nothing staff could do except turn off all vents in room and give you extra blankets.... but the Pros far outweighed the Cons. Definitely stay here again!
