    “Supreme”

    Despite being old, the cleanliness was well-maintained, and the wallpaper in the room as well as in the shared toilet was new and felt good. There were shared toilets and washbasins on each floor. The toilet bowls in the shared toilets were clean and shiny. The mattress under the futon was thick and fluffy, and while sounds from the neighboring room were easily heard if they were loud, there were warning signs saying "please be quiet" everywhere, allowing for a comfortable sleep. The bath had a constant supply of hot water and felt clean and enjoyable. The Wi-Fi on the fourth floor was weak. The economy twin room had slippers, a refrigerator, hangers, bath towels, and a trash can. There was no tissue available. A relatively new air conditioner was also installed. I can only be grateful for being able to stay at this location with this service at this price on a Saturday night. Thank you very much. I would like to stay again if there is another opportunity.

    “That's good.”

    The hotel itself is a bit old, but I think it is sufficient for just sleeping. The cleanliness of the toilet and the separation between the toilet and the washbasin were good for me. It was a bit noisy outside, but the other guests were quiet, so I could sleep well. I guess this depends on the guests? Since it was Saturday, it felt a bit pricey, but it is a hotel I would like to use again.

    “Value for money accommodation”

    Second visit to Osaka There is a large public bath and it's 30,000 won for one night Right in front of Dobutsuenmae Station The restroom and shower are shared Should I go to a clean capsule hotel? I was thinking about going here, and I chose this place In the end, it was good Since it's a private room, I could come and go without feeling self-conscious I bought beer and put it in the fridge Sipping while watching TV The bedding and facilities are a bit outdated But it seems they manage and change the bedding covers cleanly I am satisfied.

    “Excellent”

    This is my third time staying here. It's close to the train station and convenient for travel. The room is nice, and although the bathroom is shared, it is clean. There are three levels of showers. Overall, it's good, but I would like there to be a clothes hanger in the room. If I go to Osaka again, I will definitely stay here again.

    “Taiyo Hotel”

    I liked that the staff and the owner were very kind. They also have a large public bath, and they said we should come back to Taiyo when we visit Osaka again. Additionally, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the large communal refrigerator was good for storing food. If you’re lucky and there’s an empty room, they even allow for quick check-in, so thank you very much. I will definitely go to Taiyo again. Thank you.
