The hotel staff were excellent. The room was clean and quiet/ The was internet available in the room and a computer for the complimentary use of the huests in the lobby. Free coffee and breakfast in the morning. The hotel was located just a minute by foot from sakai station south entrance. There were numerous restaraunts outside the front door and shopping and more restaraunts inside sakai station. It is only a twenty minute ride from kansai airport by the blue express train. I was very satisfied with my stay here.

We stayed here for one night prior to flying out of Kansai airport the next day, based on other reviews. The downside - carpeting in halls and room was badly in need of a cleaning, but room was clean enough otherwise. Bed was OK, pillows were very hard. Room was very small, but I think that's probably the norm for Japan. Bathroom was tiny. It was a one piece module like you would see on a cruise ship, only smaller, with a step up to get into it and no electrical outlets. The shower ran off of the sink faucet. We had to leave before breakfast was served, so can't comment on that. Some of the staff did speak a little English and helped with directions to the train station. On the plus side, it was only a block or two to Sakai Station, and there were about 20 restaurants and a grocery store on the way. There was also shopping nearby, you can find it by looking at the train station map. If you go over by the Rihga Royal Hotel at the west exit from Sakai Station, there are some upscale shops around a plaza, and on the second floor is a cozy little bar where we had a couple of beers. The train ride to Kansai airport took about 30 minutes. The wi-fi connection was very good.

I came into Kansai Airport late evening with little idea and no Japanese except for a booking at the Comfort Hotel in Sakai and with the bare knowledge that Sakai was somewhere in the vicinity of Kansai. Indeed it was on the railway track to Osaka which was the destination of all the trains. Within an hour I was setling into a comfortable room with all the amenities a single traveller could want with the promise of breakfast in the morning.
I was here for 5 days and it set me up for a terrific tour around Japan.

My brother and I stayed here in April 08 for 4 nights. We totally enjoyed our stay! The beds were comfortable and the hotel was located about 5 minutes from the Sakai train station. The free breakfast is great and the coffee was good. The bathrooms are very small, but it worked out okay...we are both over 6 ft tall :o)

The front desk was a BIG help to us. They spoke pretty good english and helped us out a lot. In the mornings we would tell them where we were headed and they would write down the train stations names we would need to transfer to and from. Getting around for us was the hardest thing to figure out. By the time we left we were pretty comfortable with the trains and subways!!

I would suggest having lot's of YEN - while the hotels take credit cards, most of the small cafes and stores do NOT. We visited Koyoto, Nara and Kobe - Nara was our favorite place!! I think this hotel is great!!
