The location is unbeatable, multiple convenience stores around, 7-10min walk to Dotonburi and various stations, lots of restaurants and quiet streets at night time. The hotel also has a cafeteria with free tea, water, melon soda, coca cola and other refreshments that are available 24/7. The room itself is simple but very comfortable and has everything you could need. Rooms are cleaned daily and amenities replenished too, even if you opt out of cleaning by sticking a ”Do not clean” magnet on the door, they then put everything in a bag and hang it on the handle. The staff is mostly professional, speak decent English and the check-in/out process was easy. Where it loses points is due to the following: On one of our big days out exploring, we came back to the hotel at around 8PM. The Front Lobby was filled with a big and disorganised Chinese group/family of 12-16 people who were scattered throughout the lobby. They did not all have a hotel key card, I know this because there was an employee by the escalator using his key on the elevator to send up them to their rooms. So my girlfriend and I got our keys out, got to the front of the other elevator and showed our cards as a way of gesturing if we could go up. The employee rejected us and we got the idea that we had to wait. Now I don't know about you, but I don't see why I need to wait for something that isn't my problem. Their lobby was littered and the tourists were being loud and screaming at eachother from across the room. We were not going to wait. Line them up in front of one elevator and use the other one for people who are entering and exiting, and if no one is entering and exiting, then let them use both elevators. Such unprofessionalism. We decided to leave and go for a walk and kill time at the local convienience store, but it definitely ruined our day and experience with the hotel. Another reason is I asked if they could make a restaurant reservation on my behalf, the bird cafe that I wanted to go to had a registration and booking process that was not friendly for tourists. It required me to write my Japanese Name for some reason, as well as phone number. The hotel said they could not make such reservations for me. I ended up walking in and was lucky it was a weekday and it wasn't as packed. Also be sure to check how many adults is listed on the room you plan to book, I didn't check properly and mine said 1 Adult, even though it fits 2 and the amenities were stocked for 2, this mistake of mine cost me 14,000yen (2000yen a day) because I had my girlfriend with me.

I very enjoyed my five nights stay here for honeymoon trip. We stayed in the small room some might find it a little tight but it was okay for us. Extremely clean room. Bed is cosy and contemporary design. Everything looked really new. The location is great and close Shinsaibashi-Suji shopping road and near Honmachi subway station (Midosuji Line) to everything. The reception staff was really helpful and willing to attend any request especially the reception staff name ”Mei” who are always willing to help and quick respond. So the price I paid was absolutely worth it! All in all had a good stay. Will definitely come again to this place. 😊

This is not the first time we stay at Karaksa joint. After our previous stay at Karaksa Saporro, we decided to try in Osaka. If you take exit 4 from Shin-Osaka Station, you can take a 3 minute walk to Karaksa Shin Osaka Tower Hotel. Reception is at 2nd floor, it was quick service and easy. We reserved 2 bed and 3 bed , total of 2 rooms connecting. It was convenient for party of 5 travelers. The amenities including electric converter was provided in the room. What we like about Karaksa is the bed, bathroom, and room is very confortable. English translated system on TV, AC and Laundry as well. 4 laundry machines with coins in located at 4th floor. Very convenient. During the rainy days, towels are provided at the entrance for free. You can also monitor the status of the laundry machine as well. What a service, we love it We love staying at this hotel, definitely recomended for family stay.

Good room, friendly staff, location is great for heart of shinjuku although can hear lots of noise from the street at night.

Hotel is stone throw from two of the major POA, Kuroman market and Dotonbori, and Kintetsu-Nippombashi Station where one can escape the weather element anf shop till Osaka Namba station....The hotel has everything you need and the packet Kopi aka Coffee is good. The hotel provide free umbrella too in case there is rain

Very small room, had problem opening our two large suitcases. Toilet is ok not too small, washers and dryers available. Very good location, just a stone’s throw away from two exits of Yodoyabashi station, in which one has elevator access. Family mart and supermarket nearby too. Located in a very safe and peaceful area, which is a blessing. Overall worth for its price.

Amenities are good in this hotel. Receptionists are friendly. But, the place is very old, they windows that are locked and we begged them to open it for us. Blanket was terrible, one of the worst one I have ever had. Location is not too bad, but I could have booked a place nearer the subway. In total it was worth the price. It was almost the cheapest hotel in that area

The hotel is simple but clean, we upgraded to a larger room on arrival which was easy and not expensive. The bathroom was nice and staff were friendly. Most importantly, it’s in a great location for getting to the main sights of Osaka (a couple of stops each way) and to the stations for day trips out of Osaka!

Carpet was rather dirty, we used a sticky roller to perform another housekeeping and gathered more hair all around the room. Bedding was comfortable. Toilet was decent size and clean. Not much places for hangers. No view from windows. No free beverages and only paper cups were provided. The ledge at the headboard of the bed was useful for putting stuff and as a devices charging point. A musky smell along the corridor. Location wise, close to some eateries, a big drugstore, Namba Yasaka Shrine, as well as a large LIFE Supermarket.

It was a little hidden and difficult to understand, but it was good that the equipment was in place! The front desk smelled a little cigarette, but I don't think some people care about it, so I think it's okay! It was clean and comfortable!
