Describing the encounter as both \u201cterrifying\u201d and unexpectedly efficient, Anna Lynne, 27, posted a video on Instagram documenting her stay at the Henn na Resort and Spa Kansai Airport, a hotel known for using robotic staff in place of human receptionists. <BR><br \/>\nIn the clip, Anna arrives at the ocean-themed lobby late in the evening after travelling from the airport, where she is greeted by multilingual animatronic dinosaurs operating the check-in desk. <BR><br \/>\nThe hotel, part of the wider Henn na brand, markets itself as one of the first to be staffed primarily by robots, offering guests a novelty experience alongside standard hospitality services such as spa facilities, themed rooms and on-site dining.<BR><br \/>\nAnna said: \u201cBooked this stay not knowing I\u2019d be checked in by dinosaurs and low-key, I was terrified.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nShe added: \u201cIt was 8pm, I was exhausted after a flight, and I had to walk from the train station in pitch dark just to get here. Then these prehistoric receptionists welcome me and I was like uhhh the f***.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nAnna continued about the bots: \u201cBut real talk they were somehow more polite than some humans I know. The check-in was smooth, and this place is super clean and quirky in the best way.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nThe hotel features a range of amenities including indoor and open-air baths overlooking the bay, a mineral mist sauna and a dry sauna. Its restaurant, Seian Aoi-an, serves Japanese cuisine using locally sourced ingredients under the supervision of a Michelin one-star chef. <BR><br \/>\nGuests can also choose from themed accommodation options, including Ninja and Pirate rooms, as well as collaborations with aviation brand Peach Aviation.<BR><br \/>\nLocated near Kansai International Airport, the hotel has become known for its distinctive approach to hospitality, with robotic dinosaurs acting as receptionists in its lobby. <BR><br \/>\nThe concept has attracted significant attention online, with Anna\u2019s video receiving more than 811,000 likes.<BR><br \/>\nViewers responded to the footage in the comments. <BR><br \/>\nOne wrote: \u201cWait this is so epic.\u201d <BR><br \/>\nAnother said: \u201cMy introverted self would prefer the awkward robot dinosaurs.\u201d <BR><br \/>\nOthers highlighted potential drawbacks, with one commenting: \u201cLol, this would send me over the edge of laughter and despair,\u201d while another added: \u201cImagine trying to complain about room service and staying serious.\u201d<BR><br \/>\nThe hotel\u2019s automated systems have been widely praised for their novelty and efficiency, though some guests have noted that human assistance may still be required in certain situations, particularly during check-in.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-03-27 17:06:07 An influencer has shared her experience of being checked in by robot dinosaurs at a Japanese hotel.
