KOKO HOTELS Properties in Osaka

Location is just perfect. Easy access to lots of places of interest like dotonbori, Kuromon Market, takashiMaya, .... You may walk for around 30 to 40 minutes OR just ride on the MRT named Shin-Imamaya. From Shin-Imamaya, must exit East to reach the hotel. West exit do not provide elevator. Need to walk up and down with MANY MANY ten steps of staircase Abeno Q's Mall, Mio and Kintetsu department is located 1 km away. Tsusentaku towel is 200 m away. Donki Quijote is 400 m away Spa world is 100 m away. Best location in Osaka. The only complaint is the breakfast. I would not say they provided lots of food but sufficient in Japanese style food which I like. Western food is really really limited. Must take the breakfast before 9 am. Even though last order is 9.30 am but after 9 am food will not be topped up if they are running out. So you have very limited choices after 9 am. The breakfast cost 2000 yen. Not suggest to take their breakfast if not in the accomodations package. Overall satisfied.

Our stay at Koko Hotel was excellent as we met Mr S. Vihanga who is helpful and friendly. Assisted with our luggage storage on the first day and the last day. He showed us where to take the lift, the train stations for our destination. Kudos to his attentive service. Hotel location is convenient with many eateries. Train station is very close to the hotel. Room is clean although it is quite small. Like the heated toilet seat and bidet at all times. Basic amenities are met. Hair dryer is powerful too. Overall we are happy with our stay.

The hotel's location itself is excellent and very convenient! However, Umeda's underground is incredibly confusing; I got lost walking from Osaka Station. But once you've done it once, you'll remember it. There's a lively street next to the hotel that's bustling at night but not noisy, and an Ichiran Ramen incredibly close by! It's also very convenient to walk to the airport shuttle bus. If you're worried about getting lost, scope it out beforehand when you have time, then on the day you leave, you can just walk straight there with your luggage.

The location is fantastic, just a two to three hundred meter walk from Shinsaibashi subway station. I booked three nights last minute the day before, and it even included meals for less than 300 [currency]. I'm not sure if I stumbled upon a steal, but the value for money is absolutely incredible. The hotel seems like a former grand hotel that's been renovated. The lobby is impressive, and the room is quite spacious, more than enough for one person. You can pick up basic toiletries, tea bags, and coffee from the front desk on the first floor. There's no bottled water in the room, but several floors have water dispensers. The only minor inconvenience is that ice, water fountains, and washing machines aren't on every floor, so going up and down the elevator can be a bit of a hassle. Breakfast is a bit simple but definitely filling. Overall, a great experience.

Location: 7/10* see note below Amenities 9/10 (They close it in the day?) DHC 4-step facial care! Dental kit, cotton pads/buds, body towel, mouthwash, body sponge, comb, razor, 'Odashi sachet, tea Spaciousness: 8/10 for the price point of a twin room, thus more than spacious enough for 1, got desk and writing equipment, TV. Room cleanliness: 9.5/10 Only tiny amount of dust on table/remotes, no stains on the walls / furniture (Also, surprisingly the cleanest hotel I've stayed in throughout 2.5 weeks in Japan, across 8 hotels, including Roku Kyoto) Bed: 6.5/10 Old springy kind Toilet: 8/10 Surprisingly spacious and did not compromise on the bathtub Quilt/blanket? 8/10 soft n heat retention good Positives: ++Hotel staff was very kind to help with Yamato luggage forwarding procedures & calling the receiving side for confirmation(info didn't match n got stuck on phone for 30mins) ++Room cleanliness superb (no spots found with UV) ++Got one-piece PJs, easy to wear, legs a bit cold tho, recommended to wear your own socks to sleep ++Humidifier available in room (very important during winter/spring!) ownself topup for hygiene purpose ++Love that the toilet size had piority despite the small room! It was even bigger than my Nagoya's hotel, can stretch legs a bit more in this tub ++Toilet got constantly heated seats!!!! ++Bathtub has armrest ++Electronics street right round the corner, e-earphones! Cons: -- No bath salts -- Some smoke smell lingering in lift / corridors due to smoking room @ first floor? -- *DO NOT try to walk from the major Namba station from KIX in freezing winds n maze w luggage. The location from Namba subway is madness if you have luggage. Only try to bring your luggage from Ebisu station instead! (But was a good walk w shops and food everywhere) Overall: 10/10 for this price point!
