Hotels near Rinku Gate Tower Building, Izumisano

A pleasant hotel to stay near to Kansai International Airport (KIX) in a pleasant neighborhood. Room temperature and shower water temperature were comfortable. Despite some language barrier, the staff at the check-in counter who wore glasses was very welcoming to my boys and offered them lollipops. We strongly recommend this hotel for staying if you just arrive at KIX after a long flight or the night before an early flight from KIX.

It’s quite close to the Izumisano Station, but if you come to this hotel and enter through the back door, you’ll be welcome with an empty floor (probably that is considered as ground floor). Don’t be scared, just look for an elevator and walk upstair, that’s where the receptionist is located. They can’t speak English that well, so just be ready to show the passport of the person who booked the hotel, then they’ll just proceed quickly with your check in. They’ll also give you water bottle to bring to your room. The corridor to my room truthfully looks kinda spooky because it was quite long and no sound was heard (but I guess it was just because the insulation was good, and I knew some of the room was occupied as I saw the cleaning lady in the morning). The room was so big and clean, the bathroom as well. The shower and the bathtub was separated, but you can pull the shower to the bathtub. The toilet was also separated from the bathroom, so it’s a dry area. If you visited during winter, don’t forget to turn the heater on when you entered the room, or else you’ll think that the room was too cold. In addition, near the receptionist area, there’s an open store where it says that you can take the snacks for free (but please be mindful, just take one please). At that time, I don’t want to take it as I’m not sure about the culture in Japan, but then the owner came to me and literally handed it to me! He was so kind and polite (Japanese hospitality is truly top notch)! So please don’t forget to buy his snackss 😆 If you a solo travel, the room in this hotel might betoo big for you, but if you’re with family or friends, this room fits you perfectly.

Whenever I have an early morning flight from Kansai Airport, I always stay here the night before. It's still the best option in terms of both price and time. It's not a traditional capsule hotel; these are large pods where you can actually stand up, and the bed is spacious. They provide makeup remover, facial cleanser, toner, and lotion. There's also a hot bath to relax in, and a coin-operated washer/dryer combo. I've tried staying in Osaka and catching the first train, or staying in Rinku Town and taking the train or airport bus – both were exhausting, and I was always worried I'd miss my alarm. Staying here, people start packing and leaving around 5 or 6 AM, which helps me wake up. Since I'm a pretty sound sleeper, I actually quite like that.

The front desk staff's service was truly exceptional. They kindly reminded us about the welcome drink during check-in, and when we departed, they even walked us out to the airport shuttle and waved goodbye. Overall, their service was excellent. However, we stayed in a twin room with a bathroom in the older building. The cleanliness was a bit lacking, but we accepted it since we were only staying for a layover before a connecting flight. What was truly unbearable was that the air conditioner blew directly onto the head of the bed. I'm quite baffled by this design. To make matters worse, a notice on the AC control panel indicated that it couldn't be adjusted above 26 degrees Celsius or have its fan direction changed, as doing so would trigger the smoke detector. This meant we either suffered through the night with unbearable heat if we turned off the AC, or endured a headache from the direct draft if we left it on. I definitely won't be booking this room type again, and I wanted to share this for others' consideration.

The room was spacious, though the decor was a bit dated. However, it was very clean. There's a free shuttle to the airport, which is super convenient and only takes about 15 minutes. There's also a large supermarket nearby that stays open until 10 PM, great for browsing. Their prices are about 10% cheaper than 7-Eleven, and they even have discounted items in the evenings. Plus, it's just one stop away from the outlet mall, making getting around very easy.

We flew into Kansai airport and this little hotel was a great spot to land. They have a pickup service from the airport that you pay for and from Hineno train station for free. We definitely could have taken the train but it was really nice to get picked up and the driver was great. The room itself was exactly as advertised. It was quiet and clean and the bath was large and relaxing after a long flight. The room is tatami style but the mattresses are cofmortable so as long as you're ok getting up and down it's comfortable and peaceful. There aren't many reataurants nearby and when I asked the staff for recommendations, I was directed to google maps... so I looked at google maps and discovered that if you're prepared to walk for 20 minutes through the neighbourhood there is the best okonomiaki we've ever had at a little local place called Petanko. We'd definitley stay again.

This hotel is perfect for an overnight stay before an early flight from KIX.The free shuttle to Rinku Town Station is a lifesaver, making the trip to KIX airport quick and easy. The room was surprisingly spacious for Japan.

The room we got was a double futon on the east room upstair, as we love the traditional Japanese style. The small space has all the convenient with shared space in common area, small kitchen, bathroom and washer and dryer in the same room. Everything were tidy and functionally used all the space avail. Great water pressure and temp for the shower. The host thought of everything and provided every information avail for us tourist to use. Distance is not too far from Rinku-town station. Only cons (out of everyone control) the stair leading to the station has no elevator, which will be challenging for people with large suitcase. We are light traveler, which is not too bad for our case. Overall, great little space and affordable, short ride to Kansai Airport and save time traveling to the airport, which is a great plus since security check in at Kansai may take up to 90 mins to get through.

This is more of a traditional Japanese guesthouse (minshuku-style Airbnb) rather than a hotel. I was lucky enough to have the entire place to myself, which made my stay even more comfortable. The building itself has a lot of character and you can feel its age, but it was very well cleaned and maintained. There is a newly renovated shower booth on the 2nd floor, so I would especially recommend staying on the 2nd floor if you are a female traveler. The moment I entered, I felt like I was stepping into a Japanese grandmother’s house that I had never actually visited. The atmosphere and the nostalgic scent throughout the house gave me a very unique feeling of old Japan. If you are looking for a modern hotel experience, this may not be the place, but if you want to experience the warmth and charm of an old Japanese home, this is a lovely choice.

Nice hotel and very kind staff. When booking I did not even know they offer a free airport shuttle service, which is very convinient!
