What guests think

At APA Hotel Shin Osaka Ekimae, travelers highlight the excellent location near Shin-Osaka Station, clean compact rooms, a relaxing onsen, and generally friendly staff, creating a convenient base for transit with solid value.

Many reviews note very small room sizes with efficient layouts; some also found the self check-in kiosks slow or glitchy, and centrally controlled climate made rooms warm or hallways uncomfortable at times. The public bath is widely appreciated, though it can get crowded and locker space feels limited during peak hours. Expect a compact, transit-friendly stay with practical comforts.

Breakfast was outstanding. Laundry is tucked away near the bathing area but okay. Location was very close to the East exit of Shin Osaka station but only a small lift or stairs to that entrance. The only criticism was the heating. Like many of the brand the heating or air conditioning is centrally controlled. I am sure it is great in Summer or in mid winter but in a particularly warm November it was in heating mode only and room was 26 deg C with no option to cool.

The property is conveniently located right next to Shin Osaka station which makes this a suitable location for me to travel around cities..The in-house public bath was great to have. It was nice to relax in the onsen and unwind at the end of day. It was a great experience. Hotel is nicely decorated and the staff provided exceptional customer service. Will highly recommend for anyone to book this hotel to stay.

However, there is one thing. Bath had problems. I tell them when I checked out and hope to be fixed those problems.

I’d give this a poor rating due primarily for the lack of air conditioning and false advertising about it. Yes, it does have ‘centrally controlled’ air conditioning for the entire hotel but not individual rooms. Cannot open windows due to tremendous road noise and airplane traffic. Rooms are so small that one literally must climb over the other person to get in bed. Advantage is close to train station.

Our second APA hotel during our trip. Good budget-friendly hotel, not far from the train station. Only complaint is that we arrived a bit early, about 1pm but check-in is at 3pm. They would not pre-register us before 3pm so after a 2 hour wait, there was a whole lot of clients waiting like us in the hall in line for the check-in. At exactly 3pm they started to check in the clients all at the same time which is not what I would do if you ask me. Overall room was good, but I could not find a way to adjust the room temperature, probably my fault since I don't read japanese and the controls were not in English.

I like the set up of the room, these rooms are very small so if you have a lot, or in my case a bicycle, it can be challenging. I love though that I was able to take my bike with me hassle free. (Most hotels wont allow this in japan) the staff were extremely helpful! And this is consistent with all my APA hotel exspirences.

Apa Hotels are a great option when you are traveling in Japan. This particular location was conveniently located within walking distance drom the Shin-Osaka subway station. The facilities and rooms are excellent for short or medium term stays. The staff here were super helpful when we had to ship our luggage to another one of their locations in Tokyo.

APA hotels really knows how to make you feel like you broke the bank while continuing to be budget friendly. They will do everything in their power to make sure you have everything that you need and the properties are always in such great locations. You're walking distance from the station and there are so many food options.

I recently stayed at this hotel and one of the biggest highlights was its unbeatable location. It was just a short walk from a major train station (shin Osaka), making it incredibly easy to get around. From there, I could hop on the bullet train to Tokyo or catch a regular train to Kyoto with no hassle at all. As someone who loves to travel and values convenient access to public transportation, this was a huge plus. It made day trips and longer journeys stress-free, and I was able to make the most of my time in Japan without worrying about complicated transfers or long commutes. The room itself was a bit on the smaller side, which seems pretty typical for Japan. It wasn’t a big deal for me, especially since I was out exploring most of the time anyway. The space was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. If you’re someone who prioritizes location and efficient travel options, this hotel is a fantastic choice.

What I love about the hotel are its convenient location and the onsen. It’s just a 3-minute walk from Shin-Osaka Station, making it incredibly accessible. The onsen was a true blessing, providing us with much-needed relaxation every night. The check-in process could be improved, as there is only one queue, which can be slow at times. The buffet spread is quite repetitive and unexciting, with bananas and kiwi fruits sliced into tiny, unappealing pieces. What I don't like is the additional fee required for late checkout.
