We had a pleasant stay at APA Hotel. The hotel was very clean, and I appreciated the convenient location near a station, which made getting around easy. The staff were extremely hospitable and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. For the price, we felt it was great value for money given the quality of the service and accommodation. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay.

The one downside was the centralized air conditioning. On some nights, the room wasn’t cool enough, which affected our comfort. Aside from this issue, everything else was great, and I would still recommend the hotel for its cleanliness, location, and service.

Location. It’s just a stone throw away from Sakai Station which has direct connection to/from the airport and Dotonbori (Namba). Just be sure to catch the last train, otherwise it’s going to be an expensive taxi ride to the hotel. Helpful Staff. They assisted in sending my luggage to my next hotel allowing me to have a hands-free travel from Osaka to Shizuoka. Value for Money. For an additional 1000 yen per hour, you can do early check in if a room is available.

Cooling/Heating is centralized.

The location was very good. I stayed here just for one night. It's an ideal location for when you're leaving for the airport the day after.

When we checked in the reception wanted me to pay 375 euro. When I said I paid everything online, they kept on saying no you didn't. I showed them my confirmation like 3 to 4 times. Their English wasn't that good. After I told them for the last time that 1 paid and would stay for 1 night, they realised they were wrong. So that's the only thing that bothered me.

I visited Japan for work 2 weeks and stayed at APA Hotel 3 places ; APA Hotel Ueno Ekimae, APA Hotel Sakai Ekimae, and APA Hotel Shinsaibashi. I could say that the Sakai Ekimae is the best. Staffs were very friendly and service mind. Room and hallway was neat and clean. (In the opposite, APA Hotel Shinsaibashi's room was dirty, especially bathroom. It wasn't cleaned well, I saw a lot of black strains at sink, bathtub, wall.)

It wasn't big problem, but I didn't like breakfast. It was the same everyday.

Stayed for 3 nights beds very comfortable good pillows is a huge plus rooms are smaller but designed smart I personally had no issues with the size as space is managed efficiently great location super close to the station Starbucks and 7-11 nearby the staff were friendly and attentive and assisted with setting up luggage transfer i would easily recommend this hotel and would stay again

The location was very close to the station making it very convenient! The rooms are also very sound-proof so you couldn't hear the passing trains outside at all. Staff were very nice and the checkout was very convenient, as usual with APA Hotels.

There wasn't much to dislike, the property is right by a convenience store, train station, and shopping mall. The only slightly inconvenient part was that getting places from Sakai station always involved using two train lines, but that's no fault of the hotel. Just good to be aware of, you'll definitely want a Suica or ICOCA!

Room is very clean and there are full facility in room. Bed and pillow is very good. Location is very very good near train station and bus station. Near Food shops , Near 7Eleven just walk 2 minutes. Value to the price.

Room is small size. But all are ok.

APA hotel standard as to be expected. Waterfront is close. The area is relaxed and low key in total contrast to Osaka proper. Has all the facilities you need. Only 10 minutes on the rapid local train.

Tiny, tiny room, though all mod cons. Bed sagged a bit to one side. Rooms facing the tracks are predictably noisy. AsK for a room in the back.

Hotel staff are very enthusiastic

I want to receive a receipt from Booking but I have not received a response. In japanses It's mean "領収書" as attached picture. Next time I will book through agoda.

Super friendly and helpful staff. The room was simple and easy to use. The hotel was near the train station. The hotel was near to many restaurants and convenience stores.
