APA Hotel Shin Osaka Ekimae

We stayed at APA Hotel Shin Osaka Ekimae in April and found it to be very conveniently located—just a short stroll from Shin Osaka Station if you take the East Exit. This made getting around super easy. The rooms are quite small, and the bathroom is very compact, which is typical for business hotels in Japan. One downside we noticed was that we couldn’t control the room temperature. Since it was cooler outside but warm inside the room, we had to tilt the window open to let in some fresh air, which helped a lot. A special mention goes to the front desk staff. My wife accidentally left her wallet in the laundry room, and we only realized it was missing the next day. When we asked at the front desk, they had it! As per their policy, they removed the money for safekeeping, but they returned the wallet to us with every single cent, even using a calculator to confirm the exact amount. We really appreciated their honesty and professionalism—huge shoutout to the staff and the person who turned it in. That kind of integrity is rare and made our stay even more memorable. Overall, a good and reliable choice for travelers who want convenience and great service.

The hotel has a great location, very close to Shin Osaka station, so you can enjoy the city from there, coming by train or shinkansen. You can also find some restaurants and the rooms are ok. Also, the amenities are nice, in the rooms and hotel itself.

- excellent location, only about 3 minutes' walk from the east entrance to Shin Osaka station - convenient spa accessible throughout most of the day for no extra charge on the second floor, super simple to drop in and out in 15 minutes - 4 elevators ensure you almost never have to wait too long to transfer between floors - heated toilet seat is a boon during the colder months - generously sized bed despite the conservative room dimensions

The location is very convenient, just a little bit of walk from the shinkansen platforms. Although Shin-Osaka Station may seem busy and overwhelming, the hotel is just tucked away close to the east exit of the train station. I really like the location because there are many restaurants and convenience stores surrounding it. The staff were some of the friendliest APA hotel staff I have encountered. The hotel room was very clean and very comfortable. Though it was a business trip, I felt very comfortable and was at home.

Superb location, less than 2 min walk from east exit shin osaka station. My 2nd time staying at this hotel, for 11 nights !!! Clean and tidy, new towels were provided daily, though I personally think it's quite a waste.
