APA Hotel Shin Osaka Ekimae

close walking distance to the main Osaka station, so recommend this hotel only if you are planning to stay for a night before you catch the train next day! Else it is quite far away from things to see and do in Osaka and limited restaurant options around. the hotel rooms are super tiny, but the hotels public bath/ onsen was amazing!!!!

Business hotel at its best - I appreciated the double bed in the room which made it feel a little more luxurious but you were quickly reminded that it wasn't when you walked into the bathroom with a little half sink and almost no shelf space anywhere. There was ample storage space under the bed for luggage and I appreciated the inclusion of a refrigerator. What made up for this was having access to the grand spa daily. The women's room was excellent with many shower stalls, two shared soaking pools, and two private tubs. It was also helpful that your room's television told you how full the baths were in case you were looking for certain times that were more relaxing. The vanity stations were well stocked with toiletries which made it much more enticing to use than your own room's bathroom too, haha. It's a little far from the main attractions of Osaka (20-25 min by subway), but its not a deal-breaker either.
