Detailed review & photos “Karaksa Hotel Osaka Namba”

The hotel is a white 9 story building that blends in with the atmosphere of the city.

The lower floor has a black outer wall, and the hotel shuttle bus stopped at the entrance. Normally, this shuttle bus runs between Kansai International Airport and the three Karakusa hotels in Osaka prefecture, but when I stayed, it was suspended due to the coronavirus.

Hotel name at the entrance.

The front desk was on the left side of the entrance. I stayed before Halloween, so there were decorations all over the lobby. The lobby was bright with a friendly atmosphere.

Amenities were provided next to the front desk. Toothbrushes are prepared in all rooms, but you can take body towels, hairbrushes, razors and cotton swabs if necessary.

The room was bright and spacious. Despite being a prime location in Osaka city, I was surprised at how big the room was. The hotel is still new, so the room was clean and I was able to spend a comfortable time.

The beds were two 110 cm wide single beds.

The mattress was a little stiff, but it was just right for sleeping. There were two types of pillows; soft and hard.

There was a light switch, outlet and a USB port on the headboard which was convenient for charging electronic devices while lying down.

There was a TV and a hanging space across the bed.

The window could not be opened, but the room is ventilated 24/7.

There was a telephone, tissue, two bottles of water and even masks on the chest. There was also an outlet on this counter.

I couldn’t enjoy the scenery very much because the hotel was in the center of the city. I saw the stairs of the multi-tenant building on the right side. There was a big building across the street, so I couldn’t see the scenery in the distance. It is best to stay in a room on the upper floors if you want a nice view of the city.

This is the bathroom door.

There was a sink and shower booth in the same room.

The the shower booth may feel small for some.

The shower was a removable shower and the water pressure was just right.

The temperature was also very easy to adjust.

Shampoo, conditioner and body soap were prepared next to the shower.

There was plenty of space to put my belongings next to the sink. Face & hand soap and toothbrushes were prepared.

There was a laundry basket, hair dryer, slippers, bath towels, face towels and nightwear prepared under the sink.

The toilet was in a separate room.

There was a small sink next to the toilet.

The room did not have a closet, but there was a hook where you can hang your clothes.

There was a cafe corner with an electric kettle, teacups and powdered green tea. I wanted to drink coffee in the morning, so it was a pity that I didn’t have coffee.

Two bottles of water.

There was a restaurant serving breakfast on the lobby floor. Unfortunately I did not have time to have breakfast here, but I heard that you can have breakfast with an additional charge of 500 yen which I thought was a great deal.

There was a free locker next to the front desk. When you hold the hotel card key over it, the place where your room number is assigned opens.

In addition, there was a laundry room on the 2nd floor, a smoking room on the 1st floor and a vending machine on the 5th and 9th floor.
