APA Hotel <Osaka Higobashi Ekimae>

Both the Room and the large public bath were clean, and I had a comfortable stay. I especially liked that the toothbrush felt high-quality. Thank you very much.

I made a Reservation to see a show at Festival Hall. The location was excellent—just a 2–3 minute walk to the hall, within walking distance of Yodoyabashi Station, and you can enter the Hotel from Higobashi Station without getting wet in the rain. However, it was disappointing that the station entrance right in front of the Hotel has only stairs, so you can’t go down with a suitcase. I walked around looking for an elevator or escalator route and was relieved to find one inside a large nearby building.The room was on the small side, but it had a double bed, and the window wasn’t too small. The view was nice as well, so I stayed comfortably for 3 nights and 4 days. The public bath wasn’t very large, but it was easy to use.I chose a Plan with breakfast included, but it was disappointing that the menu was exactly the same for all three days. I would like to stay at this Hotel again if I have another chance, but I may skip breakfast next time.I arrived before check-in and was surprised that there wasn’t even a chair in the waiting area. I felt discouraged about what to do until check-in time. The staff were all very kind and helpful.
