Kids friendly hotel in Osaka -Swissotel

Swissotel in Namba Osaka
First time to stay in a hotel in Osaka! This time we are traveling with 4 kids so we wanted to stay somewhere close to the station and easy access from Kansai airport. I recommend staying somewhere close to the station. If raining walking outside with kids + luggage is not so easy. Taxi is expensive and boot is small so luggage and pram won't fit and probably need two taxis. So, we choose Swissotel Nankai Osaka because of its convenient location. It is located right above Nankai Namba station which has direct connection from Kansai International airport by train.

Access:
There are two types of trains from Kansai airport to Namba station.
1) "Rapi;t" takes 38 minutes to Namba (1,130yen). The design is cool so kids were excited to see this train. 
2) Airport express train takes about 45 minutes so slightly longer than Rapi:t. This is a normal train but can see a driver and railway from the front carriage so train lovers will enjoy the view to Nanba.

Airport Express Train

From Namba station follow the sign to Swissotel Nankai Osaka. We assumed we have a lift access all the way to Swissotel from Nanba station but we couldn't find it so we had to take escalator and lift.
