Spa World HOTEL&RESORT

The location is handy for a couple of train/underground stations and very near Tsutenkaku Tower, which is surrounded by places to eat and amusement shops, so it's a good place to look around. The spa is immense, with salt sauna, various pools, massage (extra charge) - this is segregated male/female, but there is also a pool area accessible from the spa by lift where you can go as a couple/family (has a lazy river, pools, kids area, slides). Neither the pool nor the spa were busy when we were there and the water in the pool complex is nice and warm. Great view of the tower all lit up from the outdoor infinity pool. Breakfast is very good, especially Japanese options, but there were also pastries and you could make waffles. Our room was nice and spacious with an en-suite shower room that was the biggest we'd had in Japan (no bath, but you don't really need one with the spa facilities). There was a whole floor of eating places, and a shop on reception level as well as a bar/restaurant, so great facilities. Everything was very clean. We thought it was great value for money, particularly considering the spa/pool facilities were included.

Easy access from KIX and other spots. Probably best for tourists who have been to Osaka before as it is a subway/train away from hotspots. Personally, I prefer being a bit out of the Namba/Shinsaibashisuji area because sometimes you just need an away from the hectic/shopping/crowds. Spa World is a great choice as it is easily connected to KIX, Nara, Kyoto by one train. The main draw of course is the free access to the super sento (I don't believe the water is spring water (or I would have called it a super onsen), it is open all day and night round. Best for helping with jetlag or if you need to just relax after a day of playing tourist. Word to the first timers, please please make sure you do a thorough washing of your body with soap at the sit down showers before hoping into any of the pools; the water is kept clean because we are clean going in. You will also be naked, so not for the shy! Buffet is great, but same options everyday, but can't knock it... because it is free and plentiful.

We had such an amazing time here! We only spent one night here but I wish we had like 3-4 nights because it's such a great hotel. The room was very spacious compared to the other Japanese hotel rooms, entrance to their onsen is included in the hotel booking and we loved the onsen to much, it's got an incredible interior design and it was such a cool thing to experience. Breakfast was also very yum. 10000/10

Buffer Breakfast was very good. Spa has many different areas indoor/ outdoor and you can enjoy all night. Swimming pool in outside has great view in front of Tutenkaku. It was hot enough in cold day. Good location to walk around to find food, drinks near Tutenkaku.

I didnt have the best room upon checking in so I asked if there was anything else. The staff thoroughly checked and I got a much better room! The facilities are nice and clean and I liked the location. There's a cool market very close by that also makes a great photo opp and easy shopping/food options.
