The Premium Hotel in Rinku

Location is great if you really plan to shop at Premium outlet. Close stay to airport for convenience of flights. Basic hotel, stayed 2 nights a reasonable duration before leaving for Kyoto. Lawson Place offers great instant food/sandwiches, just by the exit if Rinku Town station of Nankai Line. Also from Rinku Town station it's quite convenient to move around with trains to either Nara Park or Namba/Dotonbori river (you just need time to get use to the Japan train lines/platforms/departure times)

Great Room Size but Disturbed by Wind Noise I stayed at a hotel in Rinku before my flight from Kansai International Airport (KIX) and was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a twin room. This room was significantly larger than the one I had booked, and in fact, it was the most spacious room I encountered during my entire stay in Japan. The room was clean, and I appreciated the extra space. However, my experience was overshadowed by the intense wind noise throughout the night. The sound was so loud that I initially thought someone was rolling their suitcase in the hallway during the midnight hours. It turned out to be just the wind, but it was loud enough to keep me awake. I even asked the receptionist to check the noise, as I was uneasy and initially thought it might be something supernatural. The staff was kind and helpful in addressing my concerns. While the location is convenient for an early flight, it’s not particularly close to the station, which might be a consideration for travelers relying on public transport. Overall, the hotel is decent, with excellent room size and helpful staff, but the wind noise detracted from my comfort.

Great location to Rinku outlet shopping! Great stay! Good service!
