Reviews of Hotel Taiyo

19 May 2012 Laura would recommend this property

Liked: Great value for money in an expensive country. Nice Japanese style bath on the ground floor. Traditional tatami room is a nice touch. Location right next to a metro stop. Cheap supermarkets nearby. Front-desk very helpful and friendly.

Disliked: Self-catering facilities are just a microwave and water boiler, so don't turn up expecting a kitchen! No public computers, but there's free WIFI.

Liked: This is the best value hotel i've stayed in. For AU$17 per person for a private room its ridiculously cheap. Before we arrived we weren't too sure what to expect but were surprised to find clean rooms with tv and aircon, good basic washing facilities and free wi-fi. They even had a traditional bath house that was great. Staff were very helpful with excellent english and the local area is great. If you're on a budget...........give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

Disliked: Nothing.

26 October 2011 Neil would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the location as the majority of major sights were within walking distance from the Hotel. The staff were really friendly and helped us out when tring to book things that were in Japanese. The showers were good, you had alot of room to change, only downside is that they were on the bottom floor.

Disliked: The beds were not the best, but what do you expect with a mat on the floor? Also we had the unlucky experience of finding a cockroach in the room. We told the staff and they gave us the stuff to kill and clear it out of the room. I think that should had been there job to be honest.

05 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Got more than I expected for little money. Wireless, onsen, robe, TV, fridge - when all I thought I'd get for $20 was a bed and sheets. Also really close to subway, JR lines, and Nankai Namba lines means plenty of options for transit.

Disliked: Neighborhood is more industrial. Didn't feel as clean as other areas of Osaka I had visited.
