Hotels with Swimming Pool in Taishi, Osaka

"If you are visiting Osaka area and want to experience authentic traditional Japanese lodging (ryokan) in an off the beaten path place, this might be the place to go. It's about 40 minutes away on a local train from Namba statiuon (Nakai Koya line). There doesn't seem to be much around the ryokan although we really didn't explore. We stayed in a similar property in Hakone when visiting Tokyo a year ago and it was a well known hot spring town so there were a lot more things to do. We stayed at...

"It was an old building that was okay but not well-maintained. The staff were very helpful, kind, and friendly, despite their limited English. The great bonus was the onsen (hot spring). The room was very big—almost three times the size of other rooms we stayed in during our visit to Japan. However, the location was not good at all, being next to a busy highway and very far from the old town or Nara Park."

"Very quiet, beatiful view on the marina."

"Japanese kitschy. Rooms were nice though and fun for kids. Wasn't clear that the kid activities (

, kids land) incurred costs even for hotel guests."

"The New Otani was a very luxurious experience. The staff had great service and very accommodating. They helped me upgrade a room with ease and affordability. They helped me rent a car to drive around, give me access to the

to take my son swimming, and heat up food in the middle of the night. The room service was delicious and parking was so easy and cheap. We had an amazing view of Osaka Castle and we were right next to the train station. I would love to stay here again on my next trip."

"Amazing location & views of Osaka Castle. Easy train access. Loved the

, fitness room, breakfast & executive lounge. More comfortable bed than most hotels we've stayed at in Japan... not so hard! I loved having a bathroom door & privacy for both the shower & the toilet. I would highly recommend. "

"The room was spacious for Japan and the staff were incredibly helpful. The hotel was full of amenities like a spa, a convenience store, laundromat and

. It was close to multiple train stations, a few shopping areas and lots of good restaurants. "

"The hotel was above the Nambe metro and train station for Osaka. We could walk to close nightlife activities or take a metro train anywhere with ease. Rooms were large, great view of Osaka, breakfast is at top of hotel with spectacular views. The

was great for lap swimming. I would recommend. Store in train station by hotel had large selection of luxury goods. Recommend train to Osaka rather than car..would be quicker and elevator right to hotel. Limited express train to airport also below...
