Hotel Taira

Didn't know that the hotel had a lot of host/hostess clubs around it so it didn't exactly feel safe outside or walking to the hotel at night. Groups of men hang around the intersection just outside of the hotel. The room was average, some marks on the wall, some grime in the bathroom and the refridgerator was a bit loud at night. But the staff were very friendly, helpful and beds made and new towels/amenities were replaced every day. On the second floor there is a Japanese restaurant and at night sometimes there is what seems to be free meals in the lobby. Quite nice to have if you plan to stay in a day or so. Despite the surroundings, the area is very convenient to get to from Naha Airport and it is easy to walk to Kokusai street, with some stores and restaurants along the way. The best thing has still got to be the staff though.

Strong stale cigarette smell even though we were in a non-smoking room. Smell came from central air conditioning. Hotel situated close to night clubs. Unsafe for ladies walking in the evening.

This hotel has really lovely staff who were very helpful, particularly when my partner and I had to come back from the smaller islands due to a typhoon and we didn't have a reservation. They were able to find us a non-smoking room, and the rate they charge isn't bad. The hotel seems to be near some host clubs and soap land type places, so there's constantly a bunch of younger men hanging outside of Lawson, directly across the street from the hotel. They might make you uncomfortable, but I've only seem them try and solicit business from Japanese men, they left me (a young woman) alone. This might the only thing that might make a family not comfortable. The hotel room itself is a bit dated but clean and it was perfectly adequate for our stay.

Not recommended for families with children Counter staff are less friendly female guests

Overall was good, nice place to stay, clean and comfortable. A bit far from monorail but you can remember ways to go in only a second time (walk). I was very appreciated with their breakfast, it was so delicious! And very traditional! All things you need for breakfast is already there even in Japanese way or american way! Moreover, at 10-11 PM there was a hot soup noodles available for all customers to enjoy before going to bed. But unfortunately, the location of the location is near many girls nightclub (I don't know the word but you know that right?) And it was so annoyed when yoi come hotel late at night and see many people try to invite you to join their club. I know in Japan is safe but I still a little bit afraid.

I got lucky as there was a nice lady in the back-office who spoke some English. I was so happy, I gifted her with a small package of really nice Tea from Taiwan. I managed with the two-tea-bags in the room but will take my own coffee when I re-visit Japan. I always felt safe in the neighborhood. While the bathroom was a "leetle" cramped, it made up for it with a deep, soaking bath tub and the best Hotel HOT Water Soak & Shower I've enjoyed in a very long time. The bedding was clean and comfortable. Couldn't figure out just how to work the radio, but fortunately had a good book with me. THE BEST PART WAS THE PRICE WHICH DID NOT KEEP ME AWAKE ALL NIGHT. All in all, it was a very pleasant night. I might go back in June, and certainly would ask for the same room. It was good value for the price. When I wanted to leave earlier than the breakfast times, they gladly refunded my pre-paid charge for breakfast and my taxi was waiting to take me to airport. No complaints. john

If you want a large room with soft bed, then pay more for a western style hotel. Otherwise, great service and extremely friendly host. The morning breakfast buffet was very nice. I was extremely impressed with the older woman at breakfast. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Older hotel in area with lot's of night clubs. But, for the money, still very nice.

For the price of the hotel, this can't be beat. I stayed in a twin, and it was a good choice for my friend and I. The location is a little bit dodgy, as it's around many hostess clubs with many workers trying to recruit customers, so I wouldn't walk around at night alone as a single female (although it is still Japan, so you'll be okay). They do keep going until the morning. But it's within 15 minutes of Kokusai Dori, and 10 of the monorail station, and has parking for if you have/rent a car a block away. Although the hotel doesn't specifically advertise that they offer English, there was no one who spoke English any of the five days I was there. Knowing enough Japanese to get by, this was fine for me, but if you don't and aren't comfortable handling yourself in Japanese, don't expect excellent English support. The room was very sound proof against the outdoors for the location. I could never hear the loud noises from the street until I opened up the window. It's fairly easy to hear what's happening in the hallways, though, but this generally wasn't a problem. The room itself had a TV and fridge, and a comfortable enough bed. The bathroom was tiiiiny though, and dated, and a little smelly. I've seen a lot of Japanese bathrooms, and this was easily the smallest and stinkiest. But it did the job. Overall, this hotel does the job it needs to do. I had no problems, and can easily recommend it to a budget traveller.

This hotel has the most reasonable price. It covers every bad things, such as parking lot and small bathroom.

What a deal to stay in such a clean hotel with friendly stuff! I would definitely come back here and stay.

pleasant hotel to stay, staff are excellent, hotel is quite old, but clean and comfortable.

위치도 좋았고. 직원분 친절하시구 웰컴드링크도 주시고 너무 좋았어요.

快適に過ごせました。朝食がおいしかったです。 連泊で部屋の掃除を不要と伝えるとビールが貰えました。

周辺はお店がたくさんあります

ホテルのそばにコンビニやマックスバリューもあるので朝食は特につける必要はないと思います

ホテル周辺は賑やかな飲食店が立ち並んでいる中にあるため、とおり過ごす場合がある。

ホテルの1Fが臭い。 部屋の清掃が適当。（ベッド下に前の宿泊客の物が落ちている）

忘れ物をしたのですが、親切に対応いただきました。

便利な立地でコスパ良好。昔ながらの雰囲気が落ち着くホテル。 清掃は行き届いているので、アクティブに沖縄旅行をする方にはオススメです。

料金が安い。コインランドリー少なく不便。
