Best Sakai Hotels

"While it's three subway stops from Namba Station, placing it a little further from the central hustle, its value for money is outstanding. The hotel itself has a grand and sophisticated feel. A metro station is just 50 meters downstairs, offering direct lines south to Kansai Airport and north to Namba, making connections to Nara via Namba incredibly convenient. Of all the hotels I stayed at during this trip to Japan, this Sakai hotel is the *only one* I would re-book."

"## Facilities The subway station is quite close, about a five-minute walk, but you'll need to take the Nankai line. ## Service The front desk staff was truly amazing. We couldn't make calls from our mobile phones, so he kindly used the hotel's phone to help us book a restaurant. ## Cleanliness As a new hotel, it was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. We chose this hotel for our trip to the World Expo. A fantastic perk was the direct access to the boat pier from the hotel's second floor. Plus, the boat tickets even came with a priority entry pass! Overall, it was a really great experience."

"Excellent hotel for the budget. The hotel is old but it is well maintained. My room has a double bed, very clean and they do housekeeping every day. The restroom is very new, even has a tub for you to soak in after a day of walking. I even have a small fridge in the room. It is not good for 2 people as the space is really tight. Cant even fully open my medium size luggage without having difficulty. They have buffet breakfast everyday too. The hotel is conveniently located near the metro station going to Namba and Airport, which is a big help during arrival and leaving for not going through the busy subway stations. It is a little away from the touristy area, but with the metro it is only 4 stops away. There is also a mall nearby that has Daiso, Muji and drugstore for souvenirs. Very good for getting away from the crowd after a whole day of doing touristy stuff. Definitely would recommend!"

"Location: Across the street from Sakaihigashi Station, very easy to find. In addition, Sakaihigashi is actually a large station. It only takes a dozen minutes to reach Namba, which is already the city center of Osaka. So if you can't find a hotel in Osaka, the price/performance ratio here is very competitive. Room: The room is relatively large, with a square layout, enough space for suitcases, and the overall look is clean and tidy. Service: There may be a shortage of staff. There was no one at the counter when I went there, but that did not affect the quality of the service. In the morning, there was a lady, and in the evening, there was a middle-aged man. The male waiter left a deep impression on me. He had a high EQ, was organized and had no loss of manners. Facilities: Toiletries are available in the lobby. There is a large bathroom but it is very small. The most embarrassing thing is that there is only one elevator. It is a bit inconvenient to have only one elevator in a hotel with more than ten floors. Breakfast: The hotel will issue breakfast coupons with four options. My personal opinion is that Matsuya has the best value for money, with ABC meals, and the portions and dishes are quite large. I gave up on Yoshinoya because they had natto. There is also a cafe on the second floor of the station and a hamburger shop on the first floor. The cafe's breakfast is sandwiches/bread with drinks. Finally, we went to a hamburger shop. I showed the clerk my breakfast coupon for the next day, but he said it was not for today and would not be accepted. I thought to myself, this coupon has not expired, and they just turned me away. Good job, forget it."

"The hotel is very spacious, about 15 minutes walk from Ishizugawa Station. The area around the hotel is quite dark at night, a bit scary, but there are restaurants, McDonald's, Lawson and 7-11. Walking near the station, there is a Family Mart. Under the station, there is a Watt100 shop where you can buy snacks and other necessities. There is also a bus near the station, so you can get out and see it right away. But I was a bit upset because I couldn't find a bicycle to rent around there, so I had to walk. The train to Namba takes about 30 minutes."

"Very good business hotel at reasonable price. Has all the necessary amenities. Room is clean. Located near Higashisakai station. Lots of food options, convenience stores and shopping nearby. For those going to Kansai Airport, might not be too convenient, since it's not direct and you have to transfer"

"Cute little hotel conveniently located right in front of Sakai station with all the amenities you need including a gendered public bath, self serve toiletries, washer/dryer. Rooms are small but typical for a Japanese hotel. The highlight is definitely the breakfast. This is a 3 star hotel but the breakfast is 5 stars easily. It’s a buffet of traditional Japanese breakfast dishes. You’re not going to get wagyu steak for breakfast, but every dish is extremely well prepared and tastes amazing. This is in comparison to other 4-5 star hotels we stayed at during this same trip. All in all, a wonderful stay you won’t regret booking here."

"The provision of an LAN cable was a great service to me, and it was nice to rest at the hotel. Transportation was on the left, with a tram, and a shopping mall, bus terminal, and subway on the right, so I was able to quickly get around the city or any corner of Sakai."

"The room is very spacious. A very distinctive hotel. The price is not expensive, but the check-in time is 18:00. Friends must pay attention to the time. It is very close to the station, very close to Kansai Airport, and very close to the center of Osaka. It can be used as a transfer. Recommended"

"The price is cheap. The room is relatively large. This is the advantage of this hotel. The disadvantage is that the transportation is not very convenient. It is next to the high-speed rail and it is noisy at night. You must live in the opposite direction of the building, so it is quieter. And there is no one at the front desk, you have to use the intercom to find it. It is not recommended for people with poor Japanese skills to stay here, as it is difficult to communicate."
