Wakaura Vacation Packages

The room was basic and clean. The main issue was that the air conditioning was disabled in the room. There was a sign in the room stating it was controlled across the whole hotel and I wouldn't be able to turn it on. It was quite humid in Osaka when I was visiting, and the lack of AC meant I had to keep the window open the tiny amount that was allowed. This made the primary purpose of the hotel to "Just Sleep" a bit more difficult than I would have liked. If you don't mind being a little warm and sweaty during the night, you might be okay. I found it difficult to sleep and get comfortable in the warm humid nights. I would suggest calling ahead to see if the air conditioning is allowed/enabled before making a trip to this hotel. Or perhaps only go in the cooler months.

Excellent hotel in a beautiful and old building. I believe it was a tea house long ago, now renovated and modernized into a hotel. The staff was very helpful. There are several bus stops nearby, so getting around Kyoto was easy. 7-11 is a few doors down in case you need a quick snack.

Short distance walk to Nippombashi station and about a 20min walk to Namba station. The rooms were spacious to keep all of my belongings. The space there to check in is all self check in however calling the staff for help is available. The food there was alright I wouldn’t really recommend it since there’s a bunch of other shops nearby however if you are wanting to travel further grabbing a quick meal isn’t a bad idea.

Brand new clean modern property. Stunning views from the sky lobby. Amazing location with convenient direct access to the subway system and nearby shopping. I would come back again without hesitation :-)

The good; if you are looking for a quiet location this might be your place, the location is directly across a wonderful small eatery that you don't want to miss. Not too far is a family mart.. Staff was helpful. The bad; the photo layout for the room I selected is not the same, there is 2 small twin beds that aren't together, the room was musky and had an odor. Carpet felt like it has been neglected, there was dust accumulation and allergies or illness was happening, the codes to get in were a bit of a hassle. There were many mosquito's present and for some reason in the room. There was no shower that you can stand regularly. The refrigerator was broken. The air-conditioning needed to be on if you wanted fresh air.

This hotel was exceptional! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location is close to the train station and centrally located to walk to many popular locations. We also had breakfast & dinner there while we stayed, the food was delicious. The roof bar was fun! We also took advantage of using their washer/dryers located on the first floor. They could probably add some more, there was quite a few us doing laundry.
