Hotel Taiyo

Great location, great staff, enjoyed my stay. The rooms have old stains but oh well. Would book again!

My room had very stained walls, curtains, and bed spread. Bed and pillow very firm and uncomfortable. Not at all like the photos. The shower had a lot of rust stains. The common areas were dirty, dusty, stained and the furniture is so old it's uncomfortable. Staff was not friendly when I checked in/out. Air conditioner had dirt and mold inside it when i turned it on. Nearby area is fine. Location is good.

It’s a pretty small room and not ideal for most people traveling with partners. They have larger rooms but I’m not sure how they are. But for Osaka, it’s a really cheap hotel. It’s also in a great location by the Dōbutsuenmae subway station allowing you to get to Tennōji station quickly. The staff is really nice and they try to help you out when you need it!

The room was relatively clean upon entry. I did not choose to have my room cleaned during my few days stay. Showers are available 24 /7. Complimentary hot water and cold drinking water in a small but workable kitchen..pots, a few bowls, common area fridge and small room fridge. Laundry on site. Spa with a few hours of access each day. Located right next to a train station. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the dryer didn't dry all my clothes after 80 minutes and i asked for a complimentary coin to finish the drying of 1 pants, and a few smaller items. The non-regular manager was there and refused.

Very helpful and accommodating staff. The onsite baths and laundry we're above my expectations. I enjoyed the 24 hour access and how nearby it was to food and entertainment.

Always stay here in Osaka, cheap and everything you need to lay your head after a long day

Small rooms and shared bathroom

The pros to this property is the proximity to public transportation and the staff is nice. The cons are EVERYTHING. This “hotel” is absolutely filthy and ran down. The so-called kitchen hasn’t been clean since Bill Clinton was president of the USA, the flooring is broken and also hasn’t been cleaned in decades. The bathrooms are disgusting like one would not believe. I give two stars for the eco aspect of my stay because the property seems to do its best to conserve water by not cleaning anything on a regular basis. I recommend those considering this property to at a little more for an actual hotel, not a trashed out dated building. The Sun Plaza two doors over is a much better value for the money. I don’t know how Hotel Taiyo passes any health inspections.

The staff are very nice, you can tell they are trying their best but the hotel is too run down. However the building is super old and gross. This is a cheap hotel so I wasn’t expecting much but it was way too dirty and old. Mold in the air conditioning unit and drunk men in the hallway puking late at night. I got a bunch of bug bites while I was there too. It is very close to the train station but I wouldn’t stay here unless you are broke and desperate.

The hotel room had stains on the wall and a tiny pillow that wasn’t greatly comfortable to use. The area is really good around it with immediate access to the subway line, and the free onsen is a nice plus, it is just the cleanliness thats the biggest issue I have. It’s good for what it is and especially the for the price.

The place is old.

Just for a good night of sleep.

Very close to the tower and food, beds were confortable. Cons: no soap to wash hands in toilets, room smelled like moth balls

The only nice thing about this place is its proximity to the metro so you can find the next hotel. Found a cockroach in the room. You can hear everything going on in every room on your floor. The floors are nasty. Don't ruin your japan experience here

No table in the room. Heater turned off after 20 minutes and I always had to remember to turn it back on.

Best place and budget friendly, near to metro station

It is misleading to brand a hostel as a hotel

Excellent price compared to other places but if you’re not on a very tight budget I’d suggest staying elsewhere. The room was functional but everything had a poor cleanliness level. Bathrooms were a good bit of walk through the corridor and it was always very cold. Location was close to everything and if you stay in that area it’s worth going to Spaworld for an onsen experience.

This is a hostel that is calling itself a hotel. There was no shower in the room. The community showers were gross. We opted to shower at a nearby onsen instead. I had to unplug the tv to charge my cellphone bc there were no power outlets.

Honêtement l’hôtel est vieillot, dans un était abimé mais malgré tout correct. Il a l’avantage de ne pas être cher et plutôt bien placé (proche des quartiers sympa ou s’y promener le soir). Je recommande pour les personnes ayant un petit budget.
