Henn na Resort & Spa Kansai Airport

This was a last minute booking when I learned that Osaka airport was an hour away from Osaka. For the low price, I wasn't expecting much - AC and no bed bugs at an airport hotel would have made me happy. However, this turned out to be a very nice experience! I didn't realize this was a hotel with no staff. You are greeted by a front desk staffed by two dinosaurs that can use basic greetings. Otherwise, everything is done by touch screen. It all worked. And there is a nice stash of amenities by the entrance if you need it. In the lobby, there is also a coin-operated vacuum compression bag machine that can suck out the air in a plastic bag of your items to help reduce the size of the stuff in your luggage. It worked well. The room was fine and had everything we needed including decent beds. For the price of Motel 6, it's actually a much nicer hotel! There was a sign in the room about how to get a taxi, but it was all in Japanese, so we used Uber instead. There are no airport shuttles as far as we could tell.

Great value for the experience, with dinosaur robots at reception for check in, views over the bay, everything you need in the room and a little extra (like a foot massage machine), and of course the bath house! It’s also an easy walk about 5-10min from Rinku Town station, and about 10-15min to the outlet shops.

Easy to check in

Very Nice Hot Spring! The pillows wee not good enough.
