Not the best ambiance but the hotel is super practical. You can quickly get to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi but avoids the crowds. Great dining options right next to hotel. I loved the coffee and soda machines in the lobby. The A/C is not the best and don't provide smart TVs.

Nice hotel that is close to all the night excitement but not so close you have to wear earplugs or sleep mask and importantly a short distance to transportation/metro. We opted not for breakfast as we leave very early to travel to places near Osaka and there are too many choices at the train station. The room we had was a decent size that was very comfortable. Wifi was ok and laundry was so-so as there were only 2 machines and one was broken. It was very competitive to do a load. Air conditioning was fine and also water pressure. The staff were all nice and helpful especially arranging for luggage transportation. The had drinks available for free at the lobby and snacks (package biscuits, saugages, red bean candy etc - nothing fancy).

The location was paramount for sightseeing, shopping and there is a plethora of dining options. We liked the condition of the room and property. The beds weren't comfortable for us. We did not like that the windows were covered in a frosted glass and couldn't see through them to the outside. While we appreciated the availability of complementary beverages, it would be nice if there was a seating area to enjoy them. We were not permitted to sit in the lobby in the mornings unless we purchased breakfast. After looking at the breakfast offerings and the cost, we chose to eat elsewhere. If you have trouble with the air-conditioning unit in your room, do not hesitate to contact the front desk. They were helpful in that regard.

The staff and service were excellent! They were super respectful and patient to foreigners. However, the cleanliness of the room wasn’t great. I found hair sticked on the wall of the shower room, which was quite noticeable, and it was there all the time for our stay. Also, there was one dirty sock near the sofa, which was quite noticeable too, it was such a surprise for the stay. What’s more, the floor under the bed was covered in dust, seems to be neglected from cleaning for a long while.

La chambre etait sale à notre arrivée, cheveux au sol et dans la douche, poussière au sol et une boite "d'équipements de sécurité" sous le lit, recouverte de poussière. Ventilation très bruyante. Buffet varié en produits japonais mais produits occidentaux mediocres, fruits "frais" pas très frais, yaourt acide, pain blanc bas de gamme, oeufs brouillés sucrés. Et le pire pour la fin : AUCUNE VUE SUR L'EXTÉRIEUR !! 2 petites fenêtres verrouillées, recouvertes d'un film opaque donnant sans doute sur un mur. On se sent comme dans une boite. En résumé, hotel tres décevant.

We had a room with three twin beds. The accommodations were tight but very well laid out and appointed with an excellent shower with rainfall faucet option. Staff were extremely helpful and understanding. Air conditioning worked, but like many Japanese hotels it will not let you freeze out the room (not a surprise, but an observation). The television was medium sized and had a decent selection of channels. Everything was exceptionally clean. If I had to give one negative, it would be that the washing machines on the 2F did not fully dry clothing but this may have been operator error on my part. Aside from the great staff, where Karaksa really shines is its location in relation to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashisuji. Each night you can walk out of this great hotel and within 3 mins be walking amongst the bustle of the canals. Would definitely stay here again if I ever found myself in Osaka again.

Really good location close to dotonbori. Hotel is modern, we didn't have much of a window so had no natural light which was a shame. The bed is actually too big, it would be better if the bed was smaller giving you more room. It is very basic and it was our most expensive stay in Japan but the overall experience didn't reflect what we paid. It wasn't as clean as other hotels we stayed. Bed was comfortable but you only get given one tiny sized pillow. For a giant superking bed you would expect bigger pillows or at least more than one. Felt very budget. Good amenities and nice free drinks and snacks. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Fantastic location and nice bathroom setup with the toilet and a tiny sink separate from the huge shower with a full-size sink. Free 24-hr beverages, snacks in the afternoon, and a large area to sit in the lobby outside of breakfast time was also very nice after a long day of walking. Rooms are not large by Western standards but larger than our Tokyo (also 3-star but we had 2 rooms) or Kyoto (4-star) hotel rooms. We were a family of 3 in a triple with carry-on sized luggage and we made it work. However, I'd like to recommend some hooks be installed throughout, as well as a luggage stand. We used the top of the fridge, half the table, and one of the stools. I can't imagine what full-size luggage folks would do.

Close enough to Dontonburi and Shinsaibashi shopping street but yet quiet with great eateries nearby. We would stay again.
