karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

The laundry machine is not enough And a bit far between the Shinkansen station. Other than that everything is perfect

More than 10 minutes walk from Shin-Osaka Shinkansen station, but if from exit 4 (Midosuji line) only takes around 7 minutes. The hotel is very clean and neat, the room we booked is not very big but enough for us, at least has 3 separated beds, separated bathroom, sink area and toilet. Staffs there we haven’t talked with them much, but they’re very efficient and nice. The check in and check out process were very smooth. As we stayed for 3 nights, we mentioned that we would prefer fully clean for our room everyday when we checked in, the staff who served us said we don’t need to come down to the reception every morning to notify them, he would just pass down what we requested, he really did that for us! That’s really helpful. As when we stayed in Karaksa Hotel Colors Tokyo Yaesu, we had to let the receptionist know every morning before 9am if we need the room been fully cleaned, they are the chain hotels, both are in pretty good locations, clean and new, but the services are definitely not the same. We didn’t try the hotel’s breakfast, the price doesn’t seem very high, but there are also quite a few convenience stores around the hotel and within the station, we just bought our breakfast a night before when we stayed there, as we didn’t want to use too much time on breakfast. Of course, the hotel’s location is not walking to the popular shopping areas in Osaka, but as we need to travel to Tokyo and back, and Osaka’s subway system is much better than Melbourne’s, it’s still very convenient to visit around Osaka for us. And also, the surrounding of this hotel seems like a business suburb and is not as crowded as the popular tourist suburbs, we really like that as well. We feel very lucky to choose this hotel (the Tokyo one is also pretty good)for our first Japan trip!

We stay with three kids, the rooms are small, but we really enjoyed Onsen and after long day of exploring the city it was just right thing to do 😍 breakfast also was good and service, we came early to hotel and they managed to check us in earlier than 3pm, thank you so much for hotel staff ❤️

Location is about 10min walk from Shin-Osaka JR and metro stations. Not easy to find the correct exit from the stations if you are travelling first time here. Service is excellent during check-in and all parts of the stay. The staff are there when you need them. Breakfast spread is good with a mix of local (rice, tako) and western style (croissant, bread, salad) and a very nice self-serve drink bar :) The onsen on 4th floor is a must-use when you are staying there, whether you are visiting it early in the morning 5am or late at night, it serves as a wake-up soak or a wind-down destress session.

My stay at the Karaksa Hotel Grande Shin-Osaka Tower was a resounding success. From its unbeatable location and modern comfort to its delightful amenities and friendly service, it truly ticked all the boxes for a fantastic stay in Osaka. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, this hotel offers a welcoming haven amidst the city's vibrant energy.

Nice location, near JR station and walk by 5-10mins only. Also near the convenience store.

Location : a bit far from the JR line so you need more steps if you are traveling with the JR train. Cleanliness : very clean Room size : Acceptable Breakfast : Acceptable. Some foods change daily. Amenities : Onsen on site but I didn't manage to use Laundry : Coin operated washer cum dryer. Only 4 on site. Multiple feedback on insufficient washer for a 20 story hotel, but 1 year later the number remain as 4. The hotel should really work on the improvement since it usually will take more than 120mins to have the clothes dried. Toilet : Both the shower and bowl area are separated which is good when you have more than 2pax. Overall I am happy with the hotel.

Easy check in/out, clean room, good amenities. Everything was good. The hotel is only 200m from Shin-osaka station but you know it's huge and you have to walk at least 10 mins to get out of the station haha.
