Short walk to Sakai station. Buffet breakfast. Free drinks during happy hour. Staff are polite and helpful. You can leave your baggage and return to pick up on your check out day. Easy check in and out.

The location is excellent as most of the convenience stores and the station are close by.

Close to station, perfect for one night. Good breakfast.

“Excellent!”

Located next to Sakai station and Plat Plat shopping mall. Access to Kansai Airport is easy via the Kansai Airport Express train. Only 15 minutes to Namba by express train. Breakfast was good and the customer service was excellent. Laundry process is like a breeze. You just have to hand over your laundry bag in the morning and collect your clothes in the afternoon. Would definitely book again.

Room, towels were clean. Next to Sakai station.

Location is great if arriving from Kansai Airport. Stone throw from the Nankai Sakai station.

“Good value, next to train station, with small but comfortable rooms, and very good breakfast.”

Breakfast was plentiful, varied and tasty. Rooms were small but had everything you need. Beds were comfortable.

“Nice business hotel besides train station.”

Even though the public bathing section is quite small but sufficient enough. Just a few steps to supermarket & train station.

“A very comfortable enjoyable stay with fantastic breakfasts highly recommended.”

The room was cosy and comfortable for my 3 weeks stay and the beds was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful and I could communicate well using my phone translator app (a must have in Japan). The WIFI was excellent and fast I had my note pad connected to Netflix and the net without any problems. I have to complement the breakfast catering staff so friendly and charming and the choices I was so surprised were so extensive and high quality and would keep changing. There were four supermarkets selling everything but the sushi and other prepared meals were so extensive and super fresh made on site also cheap (under $5 AUD and they all have microwaves for customers to use) plus there was a Macca's and KFC minutes away. KFC sells these hot pots meals wish we had them here. Lots of other local restaurants and bars in the area with 24/7 FamilyMarts, 7Eleven and Lawsons also. The railway station is on the express stops and is a direct line to KIX airport only 10-minute walk across the bridge which I enjoyed crossing every day trains go direct to Namba and you can change at link stations for Kyoto and Nara. Both easy day trips away. There are many shopping arcades you can visit one being 2.6km long where you can get all things Japanese and plenty of gifts for family and friends. there is a shuttle bus at the station that goes direct to Sakaihigashi Station where one of the Takashimaya stores is located another is at Nara worth the visit my favourite stores. Now to sum it up I would not hesitate to stay or recommend Kuretake Inn Nankai Sakai-Ekimae being well located to everything in Osaka. Breakfasts are excellent and the bar is open later and you can get a dinner from a small menu prepared. Whether you are staying overnight or longer the rooms are not large but serve the purpose well with ensuite (good water pressure and hot water) and very comfortable beds and A/C and plentiful supply of toiletries. Public baths onsite also Japanese style!

“Excellent location...Nankai Sakai Station that connects to the whole of Kansai region and near KIX”

Breakfast was good

“Will stay again if in Osaka”

Good breakfast choice. Happy hours from 6 to 8pm with unlimited drinks.

Staff were friendly, close to the station, clean and comfortable rooms.

Staff is helpful. Small shopping mall nearby. Food accessible. 20mins walk to lighthouse and garden. A small in house public bath small but clean

“Most toiletries can be retrieved from the lobby.”

Near to Sakai station. Satisfied breakfast spread. Daily happy hour free drinks included.

“A Quiet surrounding, with good numbers of eating places and a big supermarket (Amenities)”

The breakfast was good. The Manager was polite and helpful when approached

Great location, one minute on foot from Sakai station.

It covers range of foods starts from western to japanese

“A quiet Japanese guy, a manger maybe. Very helpful. Make our stay a memorable one.”

The breakfast was Good. Having the station and mall just across the street make it even better

Location of the hotel is pretty good. Staff are polite, patience and helpful. However, most of the staff have difficulties communicating in English, except for a couple of foreigners who are usually working in the morning. Besides that, all things were good.

“I would recommend this place.”

The hotel's location proved incredibly convenient with Sakai train station and Platplat mall situated just 2-3 minutes away. Moreover, the lighthouse was easily reachable with a leisurely 10-15 minute walk from the hotel, offering a delightful evening view.
