karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

The hotel is about a 5-8 minute walk from Shin-Osaka Station. This is the largest room I've ever stayed in. I booked a high-floor twin room with 1.6-meter beds, and it could comfortably sleep four adults. There's also a sofa for relaxing, and all three of our suitcases could be opened without any issues – it's truly rare to find such spaciousness... Plus, the hotel cleans the room daily (many Japanese hotels don't do daily cleaning), which is a huge plus! The large public bath on the 4th floor is also quite good, though it seems to be just hot water and not a hot spring (the hotel didn't claim it was, either). There are even free drinks on the 3rd floor! It's really convenient! There's also a large sports store and a supermarket nearby, and Shin-Osaka Station offers easy access to Kobe and Kyoto. I'll definitely be back!

Arrived on Christmas Day, and the hotel thoughtfully arranged complimentary drinks and pastries. They also offer free beverages on a regular basis. The twin-bedded room is a bit compact, but having Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk was convenient.
