Shingu Vacation Packages

The room was basic and clean. The main issue was that the air conditioning was disabled in the room. There was a sign in the room stating it was controlled across the whole hotel and I wouldn't be able to turn it on. It was quite humid in Osaka when I was visiting, and the lack of AC meant I had to keep the window open the tiny amount that was allowed. This made the primary purpose of the hotel to "Just Sleep" a bit more difficult than I would have liked. If you don't mind being a little warm and sweaty during the night, you might be okay. I found it difficult to sleep and get comfortable in the warm humid nights. I would suggest calling ahead to see if the air conditioning is allowed/enabled before making a trip to this hotel. Or perhaps only go in the cooler months.

Excellent hotel in a beautiful and old building. I believe it was a tea house long ago, now renovated and modernized into a hotel. The staff was very helpful. There are several bus stops nearby, so getting around Kyoto was easy. 7-11 is a few doors down in case you need a quick snack.

Short distance walk to Nippombashi station and about a 20min walk to Namba station. The rooms were spacious to keep all of my belongings. The space there to check in is all self check in however calling the staff for help is available. The food there was alright I wouldn’t really recommend it since there’s a bunch of other shops nearby however if you are wanting to travel further grabbing a quick meal isn’t a bad idea.

Brand new clean modern property. Stunning views from the sky lobby. Amazing location with convenient direct access to the subway system and nearby shopping. I would come back again without hesitation :-)

This is a very nice property. It gave us some space in the heat wave and having a washer/dryer in the room was special. The only issue with this hotel is that, while there are windows, the neighboring building is only three feet away so there is no view. A bit far from the train station but we would stay again.
