APA Hotel and Resort Midosuji Hommachi Eki Tower

とても丁寧で快適でしたまた、利用したいです

Dreadful : I booked at the last minute and had to pay about 400USD for 2 nights. As mort of rooms the room is very small but even though i spent 2 nights in a row they did not even bother to make the bed or change the bath towels, they just hang a plastic bag on the knob with new towels. Their smoking area is outside of the hôtel under the staircase you need a code to access but most of the staff ignorer the code! Rooms are very very noisy. I forgot my toilet bag in the bathroom and I had to argue with the unfriendly and non bilingual staff d'urine over 20 minutes Don t ever stay there!

Room was small, but better than I expected. Same awkward layout as you get in most hotels in Japan. I was staying in the room on my own thankfully - not quite sure how you would get 2 people in there. Good location, close to Hommachi Station and a nice walk to all the action in Dotonburi. The real disappointment is having to pay to use the hotel pool. We went to have a look at it and it was sitting empty - probably because it costs 2000 yen (and 2500 on weekends) to use it - thats more than $20NZD. When we asked reception if that meant 2000 yen for the entire time of our stay, they said no - it was every time we wanted to use it. Ummm, excuse me?!!? Branded with Coca Cola, so not sure if they're making up the rules but quite frankly - it's a bit of a joke. It was incredibly hot and humid in Osaka at the time of our visit and not having access to a (free) pool to cool down at the end of the day just tarnished our view of this place.

Otherwise a nice hotel, but you would except some reception service in a mid-class hotel like this? You had to do the check-in with a machine, though it did not work properly, then finally somebody from the reception came to get it forward (with some false information fed in.) Also they only gave us 1 key card, although we needed 2, and had to insist to get one. They could not call us a taxi when leaving, they said they are not allowed to. (All other hotels in Japan we stayed, had no problem with these normal type of front-desk services.) They said in the hotel room in the info channel there is somewhere a phone number to a taxi company, but they did not know if they speak any English, probably not... (luckily I could order uber from my phone at the end..) Cleaning could have been better for the room, and the cleaner did not leave water one day (as they always did). Otherwise a hotel value-for-money. Good location with a subway connection. They also have a hot spa downstairs free for guests. But the pool was not open yet in June.

Standard japonais Pas plus , pas moins Le Japon est très codifié, pas de place à l’improvisation car aucune capacité d’adaptation Si vous devez arriver plus tôt , c’est carrément impossible car non prévu ou sinon ils vous facturent sévèrement.
