Ave Tennoji Hotel

- Only a few steps from Tennoji Station. Accessible. - Staff was helpful even though they can't speak English - Despite being a capsule room, they offer free storage for large luggage too - Has onsen and sauna facilities - Vending machines and lounge are available at the hotel - Towels, yukata, and toiletries are provided

- Light was not working at my capsule pod - Only ideal if you'll stay 1 to 2 nights. Unpacking / packing with a large luggage is hassle since I had to do it outside the capsule pod areas. - Staff can't speak English but check in / check out process is manageable as is

The public bath they had available for us was very big, nice and clean. The hot water really helps you relax after a long walk around the city. Capsule beds very comfortable, free towels and yukatas, wide lockers and resting area. Also, The checking room allowed me to receive a phone call from the airport after they had lost one of my suitcases and were very kind to me even when my Japanese isn't that good yet. They really helped me out.

They close the use of baths and showers after 9 am and you need to leave the hotel from 10 to 5 pm even if you're still tired and don't want to wake up that early XD, but that's the norm in that kind of hotels so I understand.

What I like most about the property is its proximity to Tennoji station, which has a direct train from Shin-Osaka and to Kansai Airport. Literally it’s just less than a hundred steps away from the station. We also would not get lost because there’s a huge signage from Tennoji station’s exit going here. There’s an Uncle Rikuro shop in Tennoji Station by the way. There are restaurants and 2 Family Marts nearby. There’s also a Don Quijote and Ichiran Ramen within walking distance from the hotel. The staff were all very nice and allowed to keep our luggage after the check out time. There’s a microwave oven in the lobby, and I believe there are other facilities like onsen and breakfast which we were not able to try as we didn’t have much time, mainly stayed here just to sleep. Our room was unexpectedly and pleasantly large by the way, with 2 beds that they placed side by side. There are also lots of electrical outlets/usb ports for charging our mobile devices. There’s a hairdryer/electric kettle/fridge in the room. Toiletries are also complete and they provide new ones on the basket outside the door. The only complaint I could think of was the toilet door on the room where we stayed (Room 406) cannot be locked and there’s a tiny open space at the bottom of the door, which was not much of a problem within our family sharing the room. Also, soundproofing could be improved as we could here noises from other visitors passing by outside.

The toilet door on Room 406 needs to be fixed, and soundproofing could be improved.

The biggest strength of this hotel is location, it is next to big station (just 5 mins walking) and a big shopping centre, which is very convenient for transportation. The WC and shower area are separated with the capsule area, which makes the room more silence if you want to take a shower late or dry your hair at night. The common space is open 24/7, where you could stay to eat and drink (there are machine for buying snacks/ noodles/ drinks) or working with your laptop as late as possible. I highly recommend this hotel

The capsule is clean, but a little bit old, I guess. There is a very big TV in the capsule which I don't find it neccessary but I think it's hard to change, and to charge your phone, you have to have a Usb A cable, which is not so convenient.

Good location near a big JR station, helpful staff, clean room with amenities as expected : overall happy with my stay ! I did not use everything that was available (like the shared bath) and cannot speak about the breakfast option, but for a simple and good rest, you cannot go wrong there.

Management were friendly and helpful. The amenities were clean and a pleasure to use

Location is less than a minute from Tennoji JR station which was perfect

location was great. it was right next to the Tennoji station, which is like one of the main stations in the area. staff were helpful, too, and always available in the front desk. will definitely come back.

The location is very good, very close to Tennoji Station, surround by restaurant and shops. The room is clean, toilet has nothing to complain, towels replace daily, overall is good and satisfy. Staff is helpful.

Loved the shared bath and the amenities and equipment. Super clean comfortable. So close to Tennoji Station, and a big help that you can check in late. Oh, nice view from window

The hotel is just a few meters from the train station. There are malls, restaurants and a park nearby.

The street where the hotel is located is not the typical Japan-clean and safe street
