Takatsuki Cheap Hotels

"Everything was great. Location is right in the middle of the shopping/eating district. Super convenient. Rooms are big by Japanese standard. Ie. You have room to actually open your suitcase. Breakfast has a lot of variety, fresh, and yummy. Laundry is free and plentiful. Many hotel that has laundry usually only comes with 2 or 3 washers and mostly occupied. This hotel has about 12! So laundry not a problem. Even bettee, they have free coffee available in the laundry room if you need to wait. Also they have a vacuum pack machine to help squeeze your clothing to create extra space in your suitcase, something very important when you come to Japan. To top ot off, they have an executive lounge with free snacks and drinks (including alcohol) for all hotel guests. This is something usually reserved for top tier hotel guests. So after a busy day of sightseeing and shopping, its always a nice welcome to have a little cup of drink and rest. If I have to really think of any negative thing, is that this hotel doesnt have direct street access, so if you are taking a taxi or private transport, you will need to walk to the streets (only about 50m anyway). Also this hotel has a bit of history, although its recently beinh renovated, it may not be as modern as some of the newly built one. But personally I like these kind of classic hotels."

"Location convenience to train stations and shopping areas"

"Useful free bus shuttle to station. Staff very courteous. Handy for station but perhaps a little too far from downtown Kyoto. Didn’t use pool as there was a substantial charge per person per session. Would have expected guest use for free. "

"Hotel was a great value, if we ever end up back at universal Osaka will definitely stay here again!"
