karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

This is by far the most satisfying hotel I've stayed at in Osaka! First off, the location is excellent, right next to Shin-Osaka Station, about a 5-minute walk. This station is incredibly convenient, with the Midosuji Line subway, and a starting train every 10 minutes, so you don't have to worry about not getting a seat. Shinkansen and local lines are also very accessible. Secondly, the hotel seems to be newly built, and both the exterior and interior decor are very upscale. There's a large public bath on the 4th floor, a Lawson convenience store downstairs, and a Sukiya and a pharmacy nearby. The amenities are very comprehensive! This time, we chose the Royal Premiere Room. I read reviews mentioning a washing machine, and to my surprise, there really was one! They even provide a packet of laundry detergent every day, which was a huge help. The room was also quite spacious, with two 1.6m large beds, and a fantastic view. Since it was very hot in Osaka during our stay, the hotel thoughtfully provided fans, and the staff were quite friendly! We didn't hear any noise during our stay, so the soundproofing is pretty good. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone!

My experience was just so-so. The front desk staff were very nice, but I was assigned a corner room. After midnight, there was a continuous low-frequency mechanical noise coming from the room. At first, I thought it was the air conditioning or refrigerator motor, but even after turning them off, the sound persisted, keeping me from sleeping. I considered going to the front desk to report it, but after about five minutes of thinking, the noise stopped. The next day, the sound returned. People sensitive to noise should seriously reconsider staying here.

The room was great, with thoughtful details that set it apart from typical business hotels. The location is excellent, about a five-minute walk from Osaka Station. I especially have to mention that the breakfast was fantastic; if you have the chance, definitely eat at this hotel's breakfast.

This hotel is conveniently located near Shin-Osaka Station. After exiting Stairway 4, take a left and it's about a five to six-minute walk. The front desk offers self check-in machines, with a Chinese language option available. I didn't experience any language barriers during my stay. The bathroom on the fourth floor is fantastic! I highly recommend this hotel for independent travelers.
