Karaksa Hotel Osaka Namba

I absolutely loved the hotel. It’s not very big and not very fancy, but lots of positives . It’s so central to lots of food and shopping. The train station is a seven minute walk. All the staff were very friendly and so helpful. One of the front desk staff took a lot of time in helping me figure out how to get to the island of Nijigen no Mori (Godzilla and Naruto theme park location) from the hotel. The breakfast options were great, various western and Japanese items. They had a soda fountain and snacks located in the common area, all complementary. Of all the hotels I stayed at in Japan (and I stayed at some higher end ones), this was my favorite. Thank you to all of the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

Well located, close to the main attractions and subway stations. local restaurants close by. shopping areas not too far away. convenience stores just down the street. Lobby area is well kept with water dispensers placed on several different floor for easy access. welcome snacks and drinks/sodas were a nice quality of life addition. employees are always so welcoming and warm. the washroom has a waterfall wash head option, very relaxing. sleeping clothes were nice and comfy along with high quality home slippers

The breakfast is great! Staff were really friendly and helpful, with a range of languages spoken and translator devices helpful when we didn't overlap. Facilities were great and being between dotonbori and amerika-mura meant there was plenty happening all the time. Despite the busy location, we didn't hear any noise from the street.

The breakfast is excellent and delicious! There is even Tokayaki in the menu. Location is great. It's close to Dotonbori. The connecting rooms are also convenient and has its own bathroom. We also like that we can stay in the dining area anytime in the afternoon and evening. There is a place for the family to talk or eat. Lastly, the front desk people are very nice and accommodating. They helped us from getting a cab and dinner reservations. We can't thank them enough.

This is the best hotel and we are very lucky and grateful that we booked this hotel for our 6-days stay in Osaka. The location is near rhe Namba station which is central. It is near dotonbori and shinshaibashi shopping district. Frontdesk team is the BEST. They are are very accomodating, responsive and helpful. They also speak and write english. I was concerned as there was a supertyphoon shanshan during the period of our arrival and my flight maybe cancelled or moved. They responded prompty and accomodated my request to move my booking without any charge in such case. All throughout, frontdesk team is so responsive, and it is comforting esp. for me, a foreigner who does not speak japanese. We had triple room, it was spacious as our 3 luggages fit and we still have a table and ample space to move around. The room is newly furnished and modern. There are numerous electrical and USB outlets so we were able to charge our devices without issue. We can control the aircondition. There is also TV, refrigerator, electric kettle, coffee, cups and glasses, and hair dryer. Lighting has several options, from door, room and headboard, lavatory, shower. Toilet is modern and amazing, very 'japanese techonology'👍👌. Toilet, shower and lavatory are separated and everyone can do their business efficiently. There is no funky smell, eveything is clean. There is even free facial care aside from the usual disposable towel and toiletries. There are comforable pajamas as well. Beds are comfortable and feels premium. There are two pillows and size is good for comfort. I slept soundly. There is a free flowing snacks and beverages at the lobby. These includes biscuits, chocolate, hot and iced coffee, matcha, cocoa, soda, teas. The breakfast is very good, there are several variations, from english to asian cuisines. I am glad I booked their breakfast. After we checked out, we can leave our luggage with front desk for free on the same day. Very convenient.
