Hi Everyone,
Today I’m taking you to APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower which is a new branch for the APA branding. We booked this hotel very quickly as our original Airbnb accomodation had issues and this hotel just ticked all the boxes. It has 40 floors with over 2000 rooms, it was a great option for us for a last minute booking.
Like most APA hotels, the rooms are small. We booked an interconnecting room so it was somewhat better and everyone had their own beds. The room gave us the usual amenities like toothbrush, hair ties, shampoo etc. There are plenty of channels on TV which we love so much and not to mention the nice comfy beds. I find all their beds are pretty comfortable.
Why is this APA hotel is different to all the other ones we’ve been to is its resort style facilities. There’s a rooftop sky pool with city views, (though it was closed when we were there) a large public bath and sauna on the 4th floor, a few restaurants, a café that turns into a bar in the evening, and even a convenience store on the ground floor. There are also hairdressers, nail artists, massages if you require on the ground floor. These things in the middle of the city within an APA hotel is pretty unreal considering the price of the room was not very high.
Staff are friendly, check-in is smooth with self-service kiosks which lined up across the hall. It was pretty crazy as I am used to maybe 4 machines at each APA hotel but this one had a full line of them. We can also store our luggage before and after check in which came in handy for us. If you don’t mind a small room at a good price with great facilities in Osaka, I highly recommend this place for a short stay.
