Akiba Kart Osaka Tours and Activities

Rooms was on the larger side for Tokyo. Staff who checked us in said he'd upgraded us to a larger room. It was a corner room overlooking the street. Hotel is a bit weird location wise. The entrance is from the alley behind the street, and the lobby is on the second floor. So you check in on the second floor. Easy once you understand, confusing the first time. There is a drug store as well as a Lawson's on the first floor. Hotel is close to the train station, so easy to get around. Trains have tap in / tap out, so use a credit card / phone etc to tap into the station, use same card / device to tap out. Very convenient. Parking is a bit awkward. There is a huge underground parking just opposite the hotel in the street. But it is confusing to get into. Lots of one ways, and confusing to find the entrance. Once you find the car entrance, lots of parking. The human exit is right next to the hotel. Onsen was fine, though limited onsen amenities compared to other Onsens we have used.

Excellent location. Hotel is located just next to the OCAT bus terminal. So we took OCAT from KIX straight to the bus terminal. Very convenient. There’s the subway next to the hotel and a short 10 walk to Namba main shopping street. There’s also a Family Mart at the basement of the hotel building. A supermarket outside at the corner. We stayed 3 nights, couldn’t hear noise from neighbors which was good. Will stay here again on our upcoming Osaka trip. Drip coffee pod machine in the room was a pleasant bonus surprise!

We loved our stay here. Front desk staff was amazing and very helpful. Hotel is beautiful. Location is amazing.
