Check-in at 15, check-out at 10 makes it somewhat inconvenient for sightseeing; at least there’s a luggage storage at the reception but is 5h really needed to prepare the rooms? Toilet washlet only had the basic functions.

The room, even if small, was comfortable and well designed with convenience in mind, although your stuff will need to stay in the luggage.

The twin bed had one of the sides against the wall so if the person sleeping on that side wants to get up it is a bit uncomfortable. If the room was 40cm larger it would improve a lot.

The Spa was excellent!!

My stay at APA Hotel was nearly flawless, and while I had an exceptional experience, there were a couple of minor considerations. Firstly, I desired a later checkout, and although I had to pay a nominal fee for a few extra hours, the process was straightforward and easily arranged through the room TV dashboard. Additionally, the hotel graciously offered to hold my luggage after checkout, providing a convenient solution. The only other minor hiccup was my difficulty in using the mirroring app for the TV. Nevertheless, this was a minor inconvenience and did not significantly impact my overall positive impression of the hotel.

The lodging provided by APA Hotel, though cozy, was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring a comfortable stay with a private bathroom. The room's cleanliness exceeded expectations, thanks to the diligent and discreet housekeeping team. The hotel's amenities were noteworthy, with the communal spa standing out as a rejuvenating retreat after extended travel and days filled with exploration. The hot 40-degree tub was particularly soothing for a tired body, and the spa, well-appointed and immaculately maintained, offered a complete array of grooming supplies. For any traveler to Japan, this spa experience is undoubtedly a must, adding an authentic touch to the overall stay. For those new to the experience, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the communal bath etiquette in Japan before indulging in this cultural aspect. Opting for the breakfast inclusion, I was treated to a Japanese-style breakfast entree complemented by a buffet. The array of choices provided a filling and worthwhile start to the day. I appreciated the hotel's strategic location—nestled in a quieter area, yet just a short walk from Osaka Castle Park. Proximity to the subway and shopping centers, along with an abundance of restaurants and convenience stores, made the location convenient and well-connected. The staff, consistently friendly and polite, contributed to the overall positive impression of APA Hotel. In summary, I found APA Hotel to be excellent value, offering a well-rounded experience for a memorable stay.

My only complain is about the room size, and that they did not have hair dryer.

Excellent location, very near to Osaka’s Castle. The area is plenty of restaurants and bars to have a drink or go to eat. Staff is great, the facilities are in good shape, the bed was comfortable.

We’ve been twice in APA hotel in different locations and for the price it’s does the job nice compact room . Clean Very close to subway station. Comfortable bed .

The room was extremely small so for anyone with large suitcases it would be a problem. The only thing that made this room a double room was a double bed. Our room windows were also facing main street so on a few occasions we were enjoying some crazy bikers revving their bikes to maximum in the middle of the night.

The location is pretty good with easy access to the subway and Keihan line.

The size of the room is really small especially the bathroom. If you have a large physique, you might find it to be really hard to move around. There’s some smell on the bed head rest which I’m not sure what smell it is

The location is good for commuting to various places in Osaka. The facilities are well maintained and very clean.
