Star Gate Hotel Kansai Airport Reviews

This hotel is incredibly convenient with an excellent location. It's just a few minutes' walk from Rinku Town Station on the Nankai Line, whether you take exit 1 or 3. The lobby for check-in is one floor down. There's a supermarket nearby, which is really handy, and it's also an easy walk to Rinku Premium Outlets, both located on either side of the station. Yesterday, I arrived at 3:30 PM, and they kindly upgraded my room to the 50th floor! The room was huge, and the view from the three windows was absolutely fantastic – perfect for watching Osaka's nightscape. This morning, I woke up at 5:30 AM for my flight and was treated to a stunning sunrise with fiery clouds outside the window. Simply amazing! The room was spacious and very clean. I'll definitely choose this hotel first next time.

The receptionist was so kind to let me into my room after I discovered that I left my sweater in the room after I checked out.

1. **Noisy and unsettling:** The elevator noise was quite disruptive, even though I was on the 47th floor and three rooms away from the elevator. Being so high up, the constant whirring of the elevators and the howling wind were a bit scary and definitely affected my sleep. 2. **Outdated facilities:** This is an older hotel with really dated amenities. The bathroom fixtures were particularly bad. It's clear the hotel hasn't been renovated in recent years. 3. **Loud clientele:** Most of the guests seemed to be Korean tour groups or older domestic tour groups, which made for a rather noisy environment. 4. **Poor ice machine situation:** Even the ice machines are old-fashioned and in poor condition. It was hard to find one, and most of them were broken. I had to go floor by floor, starting from the 40th, to find a working ice machine. 5. **Isolated location and sleep issues:** The hotel feels quite remote and desolate. The constant noise and wind definitely impacted my ability to sleep. 6. **Alternatives available:** If you're afraid of heights, sensitive to noise, or have trouble sleeping, I'd recommend looking at other hotels nearby. There's a five-star hotel, something like 'Audis', that might be a better option. 7. **Unclean bedding:** The bedding was dirty. My friend had an allergic reaction and broke out in red spots because of it.

The hotel has a charming Showa-era vibe, and it's conveniently located near the Rinku Premium Outlets and the ocean, offering beautiful scenery. Make sure to ask the front desk for a room away from the elevators for a quieter stay. It's also very convenient for early morning flights.

This is truly be a  family hotel. Everything is ready to use. Fridge is cool enough to keep some food. Air purifier, small fan, shoe dryer and even Refa hair equipments which are popular.

Very high floor view with big space which is right next to Rinku train Station and walking distance to Rinku premium outlet.

Very near to the outlet, just walk around 10 minutes to the outlet nearby. The front desk is good and they are very polite. Also the hotel provides free airport shuttle service in the morning. The view is good.

Check in was fast and front desk staff speaks some English and was helpful. The hotel is easy to find in exit 3 in Rinku Town station within 1 minute walk. It is also very close to Rinku outlet so the hotel is at a good convenient location. However the hotel is a bit old and have much room to improve in terms of overall maintenance. The pillows, beddings and mattress are not that comfortable. The furniture inside the room is old, and the wooden door outside of the fridge is broken without being fixed. The toilet is loud with non consistent auto flushing, and also non consistent temperature of toilet water if cleaning button is pushed (could be hot not warm), and the tap of sink water is hard to control. The hotel is one of the tallest buildings in Rinku town which is easy to spot from far with spectacular view inside the room and at breakfast restaurant level. There are a lot of cabin and flight crew checking out in morning. I will only recommend this hotel if it offers good rates as it does have a lot of room to improve in terms of maintenance and renovation.

One of my favourite hotel in Japan This is my third stayed  The room is super spacious Strongly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍 Very very ……much better the hotel Nikko Kansai Airport The room rate is much cheaper than Nikko as well  Thanks to the shuttle bus driver as well

Prime location for late flight arrival. Breakfast buffet good food and best view of osaka on level 54

The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, just one stop from Kansai Airport, and directly accessible from the JR station. They even offer airport shuttle service. The views from the window are stunning, and breakfast on the 54th floor was a fantastic experience with a wide selection of food and excellent service.

The room facilities were well-maintained, and there was a good variety of breakfast options. The hotel is right outside Rinku Town Station, on the opposite side of the Outlet Mall, which makes getting around very convenient. It's also a short walk to the Outlet Mall. They also offer a shuttle bus to the airport.

The hotel is really near to airport. We can drop our baggage for early check in. The room is quite big for 4 adults and our baggage. The room is clean too. The hotel provides free airport bus.

Fantastic location! Directly connected to JR/Nankai Rinku Town Station, just a 1-minute walk. It's only one stop (about 5-10 minutes) to the airport. They offer a free, reservation-based airport shuttle, which is great for early morning flights. Rinku Premium Outlets is right next door, making shopping incredibly convenient. • Breathtaking High-Floor Views The 54th-floor rooftop restaurant offers panoramic views of Osaka Bay, the airport runway, and the cross-sea bridge. High-floor (20F+) rooms with sea views provide expansive vistas, perfect for capturing stunning photos of planes taking off/landing and sunsets. • Spacious Rooms The twin and triple rooms are generously sized, well soundproofed, clean, and tidy.
