The most amazing about this hotel is the distance to Kitahama station 2mits walk. The room is clean and comfy. The morning shift staffs are friendly, not the evening one. Breakfast only has 2 options: Japanese Bento or Western set so you will get bored if you booked for whole stay. Meal nothing fantastic, they have unlimited green tea and rice. If you are planning for day or 2 to Kyoto, this location is perfect using Keihan line. From the airport, use Irapid fast train & stop at Tengachaya & transfer to Kitahama, no need stop at Umeda but make sure you board at the designated time and always look at the screen monitor.
