Hotel Toyo in Zurich, Japan

Hotel Toyo is in a good part of Osaka, the staff are nice and are very helpful. Its clean and good value for money, and I recommend it to anyone looking for that. My few complaints are: the hallway is not carpet, so you can here everyone that walks past your room, my flip flops were stolen from leaving them outside the common room - but that is not the hostels fault. Some of the heaters don't work so well and there seem to be a lot of cat fights right near our room 104 all the time. Rhiannon, from Australia ~ 22nd Dec 2011

Excellent place to stay, awesome bath. 11pm curfew which is not ideal as it is a bit of a way from central Osaka, but no problem for me. Free wifi was great, but unfortunately only in the lobby area. Steven, from England ~ 14th Feb 2012

Great for the price. Stay here if you need a break from hostels or want a night to yourself. Try not to get a room near the street though.. It got a bit loud.. Jack, from Australia ~ 16th Nov 2011

The price is very cheap,but the hygiene is not very good. There are bad smell in toliet.Location is good,but we found it over an hour.Because we saw it is near Tennoji JR station in the map.But actully is near Shin-iyamiya JR station.Their kitchen & rest room is good & clean.Staff is polite & helpful. fung, from Hong Kong ~ 6th Sep 2011

Worn, but comfortable. Easily accessible from subway and JR. The staff were amazing. They helped us find a lot of cool places that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Thanks to Hotel Toyo for making my vacation a good one! Nicholas, from USA ~ 15th Aug 2011

Very, very creepy hotel. The neighborhood is sketchy, and there are homeless people all around. It is located close to some good restaurants, but I felt too unsafe at night walking to them. The directions to the hotel as listed are poor and only tell you what subway to get off, which seems markedly unhelpful. As for the hotel itself, the rooms are quite tiny and did not feature air conditioning. The common areas seemed unkempt and all the bathrooms were of questionable cleanliness.
