Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport

Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Convenience is an understatement if you’re looking to stay near KIX airport. It’s literally a walkway from the airport. There is a conbi and stores right before the escalators leading to the hotel. We had an early departure and decided to stay at the hotel the night before. The room was similar to the ones in the US providing ample space and Japanese amenities in the bathroom. Although the hotel has restaurants we walked over to the airport for dinner. If you have the Priority Card for lounge access, the lounge is located on the hotel side which is not the normal location for airport lounges because it’s before security. As a result we had some curry and fried rice in the lounge before the walkover to the airport to check-in for our flight. Overall I would highly recommend staying because of the convenience, customer service and cleanliness. The rates are surprisingly affordable as well. Definitely worth it if you’re arrival is late at night or your departure is early in the morning."

"This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment we entered the hotel, we were extremely impressed because it was beyond what we expected. The bath house was very nice, and the breakfast was amazing! So many tourists were taking a video of the breakfast buffet because it was nothing like we have ever seen. Although it had a very high-end feel, our kids were very welcomed and they thought the experience there was fantastic. Universal studio was just a quick 10 min walk, or one train stop away. We would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a luxurious experience with an amazing breakfast and onsen!"

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a better deal for your stay at an Awaji hotel. If you're interested in unique accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalized experience and sometimes offer better value.
