Hi, are you visiting year-end? TripAdvisor has good suggestions. (1) The MyStays chain looks decent. Some MyStays branches offer airport transfers; need to check the operating hours, whether it is guaranteed or first-come-first-serve... (2) I had used Toyoko Inn in north-eastern Japan, not its airport transfer (I prefer rail), & the accommodation was a good experience.

We had very good experience at Grasmere Monterey Hotel. It’s got a supermarket at its basement & a short walk into the underground station. We chose this hotel coz it’s a short walk thro the supermkt to airport shuttle. All within 5-10 min

May I know which station is that ? I know there are a few stations in Namba itself.

Is it a good idea to buy air ticket & hotel as a bundle ? Saw SIA got promotion for Holiday Inn with air tickets ...

Hello! Do you mean free airport transfers provided by the hotel? You can register your interest with the hotel reception; it is usually a travel bus size (though seating capacity does depend on the branch). You can also email them even now, & they will gladly entertain you. Japan hotel receptions are fantastic, so are the travel bureaus around stations - they are knowledgeable, bi-/multi-lingual, go out of their way & can offer you all sorts of assistance. Whatever you need, just pop by one of them!

BTW, Nankai railway (I prefer reserved seats always) offers various easy connections between Namba station & KIX, the only thing is to factor in time required to purchase tickets, orientate to the correct platform amidst crowds, getting distracted by station bentos, lugging baggages possibly up-&-down stairs... It's a bit of a hassle but more amusing than coach rides.
