Hotels Near Osaka Monorail Art Museum in Toyonaka

I stayed for the first time in 2 years. I canceled the final flight from Itami, and I stayed at the decision because there was an artificial hot spring near the airport. It is close to the straight distance, but it takes about 10 minutes to walk because it is not a detour route. The trouble is the case of flight cancellation by storm. It will be wet in 10 minutes. At that time, this hotel is happy to have a pick-up car from 1 people. Also, I stayed in the superior room on the upper floor for the first time, but it was usually a business hotel. I was impressed because the standard room was like a training room with a two-stage bed. I feel like it is a designated accommodation for ANA, so maybe the employee is standard. The receptionist before the stay was also overflowing with CA, but the general one was receptionist at another counter.

I have been visiting this spa hotel for many years. Since 2015. I have a tattoo and never had any problems, I am a foreigner. Last Saturday I went back to the bathtubs as usual and about 20 minutes later several staff showed up saying that I couldn't be there with a tattoo. The tattoo is very small, but I said yes, because it is the norm. But I also told them that there was a Japanese man with a huge tattoo in the same room, so they remained silent and pretended they didn't understand me, I pointed out that guy and they left ignoring me. Immediately another person from the staff arrived and told me to stay but to cover my tattoo, I told him no, I wanna return to home, i will leave fast the hotel, then he forced me to put a towel on, grabbed my arm and hurt me, and repeat to me stay in the bath. I recommend all foreigners with tattoos not to visit the hotel, because the rules are a bit strange, it is not allowed to bathe with tattoos, but Japanese people with tattoos are allowed, and then when you agree and want to leave the bath, they violently try to make you stay, and covering your body. I do not recommend a place like this, they are criminals and weird staff. The quality of the viking also went down a lot, it's not like before, the food is greasy and the fish smells rotten, the meat is bacon, not steak like 2 years ago.

The staffs are all decent and freindly despite they cannot speak english very well. My room is a little bit disappointed. I booked a single room with some request for the view, however, I got the room on the fifth floor with a blind window. In addition, my room have a pillar block space on the corner. This make the room even smaller than I thought. Overall, I do not recommend a single room on the fifth floor.

Very surprised Cantonese speaker from Hong Kong help us at front desk like home coming. He is very friendly and helpful. We missed the shuttle provided by hotel but it’s easy to catch a public bus to arrive. The Family room with open air bath is nice and worth the price. Bath with the nice view is very relaxing, stress free. The hot spring is nice as well. Great experience, will definitely come back someday.

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.

The hotel has a great location, with views of Osaka Castle, and it's only 20 minutes to attractions like Osaka's Shinsaibashi. There was a concierge when we checked in. Even though we have Gold status, we stayed in an executive room, so after we checked in at the front desk, we went to the lounge to wait for our room to be ready. Once it was, our luggage had already been moved into the room. There was no welcome fruit, but there were cookies. The room is not large, 26 sqm, but it is very well-decorated, with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a nice view. The hotel just opened in 2024, so all the facilities are very new. The hardware is well-made, and the bathroom is fully equipped with TOTO smart fixtures. The quality of the food and drinks in the lounge was quite good, and the desserts weren't too sweet. In addition to a continental breakfast, you can also enjoy some Japanese specialty snacks. The electronic room key worked well, with hardly any issues. It could be used in the gym, pool, elevator, and room. The gym isn't large, but it's well-equipped, with all Precor products. 酒店位置很好，能看到大阪城，20分钟能去到大阪心斋桥等等景点。入住时有礼宾。虽然是金卡，但是我们入住行政房，因此我们在前台办理好后就去酒廊等待房间准备就绪。在就绪后，我们的行李已经被搬进房间。没有欢迎水果，但是有曲奇。 房间不大，26sqm，但是装修很好，层高很高，有落地窗，景色不错。是2024年新开业的酒店，设施都很新，五金件很紧致，全套toto智能卫浴。 酒店的酒廊出品质量以及酒的质量都不错，甜点不腻。早餐除了欧陆早餐，还能吃到一些日本特色小食。 电子房卡好用，很少掉链子，健身房、泳池、电梯、房间均可用。健身房不大，但是设施齐全，全部都是precor的产品。

Location is great, service was good and breakfast was the best. It was near the famous Glico man. It is also within walking distance to Parco and other great stores. ABC Mart, Uniqlo, Atmos are near. As to food trips, there are a lot of ramen places around. Namba Station is about 1 kilometer away, which can be easily be walked even with luggages, where you can board the Nankai Line to Kansai Airport. Yes, the airport is just a train ride away, no need to hire expensive private transfers.

It seems that it has been renovated, and the front desk, lobby and rooms are clean. ＪＲ It's just outside Shin Imamiya Station, and it's cheap if you just stay. However, what you have to understand is that there are no toilets or baths in the room. The toilet is a shared toilet (by men and women) on the floor １. The bath will be used in a large communal bath or a shower room. The room I used was a tatami room with ３ tatami mats. A set of futons. I used it because there was no place that was already open on Saturday, but if there is no place to stay, I think it is ＯＫ at all. Anyway, the price is cheap, so you can understand that area. Even on Saturday, it was ３８００ yen. Private is protected firmly, so it's definitely better than a capsule hotel. Recommended for backpackers. Therefore, it seems that there are many young students, consecutive nights related to construction, and foreigners. However, I'm not sure, but is it only me who feels that the lobby and shower room are also used by people other than guests?

is it a comment when it was just done? It seems to be dry, but it is a kind, polite and satisfying hotel. The facilities are substantial and the large communal bath is nice. Please note that the bathhouse is changed every day for men and women. Amenity is fully equipped. , Sleeping scrolls that can be used as roomwear are also available in the room, so you can relax. It is a convenient place because it is near the station and has a good location and many restaurants. There is also a large communal bath, so I wonder if it's a great place to relax. The breakfast venue is not big, so you need to adjust the time, but I'm happy to make omelets handmade at the venue.

I was reading reviews prior to booking and they all said “small” but the room is like perfectly fine especially for Japan. The staff was friendly and welcoming ready to help with all questions. On the second floor is vending machines that sell cool drink and alcohol and there are washing machines onsite with a microwave in the same room. They change the towels everyday and make the bed etc but deep clean every 3 days for longer staying guests. The subway is called NAGATA you exit through exit 1 it’s literally 100 ft away you can see it as you exit. So convenient. There is also a car park on site . Will Definitely return. Thanks so much Richmond!
