Onoe Onsen Holidays from NZ$3,220

I do not recommend this hotel. Our first room had a malfunctioning air conditioner. After we notified the staff, they moved us to a different room. Unfortunately, this second room smelled so bad that air freshener didn't help. Communication was a major issue. Despite the hotel's close proximity to Kansai International Airport, I was surprised that the staff struggled significantly to communicate in English. We had to rely entirely on Google Translate for every conversation. The only real advantage of this hotel is that it is very close to a Premium Outlet. Otherwise, the location is highly inconvenient. The closest train station requires a 15–20 minute walk, making a taxi the only practical way to get there. Fortunately, my family only stayed for one night. I will not choose this hotel again for future airport transit.

If you check in early the hotel holds onto your luggage which is super helpful. The room sizes were very comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring. Only downside was the elevator has it would create a line during check-ins or checks out as it always stops on the second floor, which is the reception area.

Highly recommend this hotel. It truly was lively. I love the selection of skin care available for guests. Conveniently located to stations, large grocery store, 7 eleven and shops. My only recommendation is to add a gym with weights.

Clean room somewhat close to everything

This was a super fun place to stay - right in the heart of the Dotonburi action and the amenities were amazing! Free karaoke, breakfast bar, coffee machines (with lattes and mochas), tea bar, onigiri, sake and other alcoholic and non/alcoholic bevvies any time of day and the list goes on. The staff were very kind and everything was very smooth. We would recommend this hotel for families travelling with kids for sure!
