Hotel New Yutaka

Close to airport and train station, hotel staff are nice. Bathroom is very small but room is good size.

We arrived at midnight from the airport and found a comfortable room. The 7 eleven is just down the street for a late night snack. In the morning the staff rang for a taxi for us.

If you are catching an early flight out, this is a good hotel. Provide shuttle services.

The room is small as expected but so small that is necessary to leave the bathroom light on at nite, just in case, because, there is over a foot tall step to get into it and then very short, say 3", Lip to step out. Trip Hazard does not adequately describe it. It's a broken neck waiting to happen. Also, the Shuttle Driver believes in smoking in the van between passengers, so it is either headaches & coughs from him or a broken neck from the Bathroom. Take your pick! I would not rebook there.

Price: No frills, reasonable. My travel was surprisingly affordable and within budget; Frequent Japan travellers who are intimidated by $400/night hotels will be surprised. Transportation: Staff helps to call taxi for you. Train station is 15 minutes to one station or 25 to another. Great walk during good weather. Staff were professional and helpful-especially Front Desk (day shift)-she was kind and warm hearted. Room Cleaning: Great! Tall persons over 5'10" may find the bathroom a tight squeeze, perfect for me, loved the deep tub, strong shower, hot water pot and refridgerator. Hotel shuttle pickup service from train station nearest KIX airport on a c-o-l-d, windy, late night was warmly welcomed. Appreciate that the driver looked for me as I stumbled around jet lagged. Food: Several good restaraunts next door or within easy walking distance. Airport, train and Osaka people were friendly and helpful. Staff at nearby shopping center were helpful.

It is a nice hotel not far from Osaka's Kansai International Airport. The nicest thing is that they provide a free shuttle to the airport at 6:30, 7:30, and 9:30 am. The room had all necessities, even a kimono. I only had a trouble finding the railway station to this hotel: you need to take a train to a different train station (not Izumisano, as you can assume from the city from the hotel's address.) I already forgot the name of the station, though. Also, do not try to find a hotel from a railway station; it is far. Take a cab, it's only 660 iens. It is a convenient hotel if you have an early flight, but not a convenient hotel to see Osaka or Kyoto.

Very basic. A place to sleep and move on the next day. Don't expect to get tourist information if you are spending the day. Pleasant staff but not easy to communicate with. Arriving late in KIX was difficult to find hotel.
