Takarazuka Washington Hotel — Hotel in Takarazuka

This was your very basic Western hotel. Our room (for 3 people) had 2 double beds, a desk with chair, a little table and chair, and a small closet. The bathroom was a decent size, and everything was very clean. The beds were soft. The location is not ideal for most things to do in Tokyo, it's a fairly long (maybe 1/2 hour) train ride to Umeda and Nanba stations, the Dohton-bori district, the aquarium, etc. It's close to the Osaka airport, which is why we chose it (we were picking up someone who was flying in to that airport). The train station is close, however, and it's a nice-looking part of town, so it's pleasant to walk around.

Hankyo department store and stations stores were right next to it.||Very pleasant stay but won't be back again due to location.||||This looks like a western style hotel but still have Japanese Tatami room for family. It seems to me that the room were vacant for a period of time, clean though but we all sneeze for couple hours once they set up the bedding for us. I thought...

This hotel is located right new to Takarazuka station and is very convenient for anyone visiting the nearby sites. It sits right next to the river and has a good view. As for the hotel, the room is actually a little bigger than the typical Japanese room though it did seem slightly old and outdated. As for the service, it was excellent and I expect no English speaker to have a problem. The onsen on site was very small and not notable so I would not book this hotel if you're looking for a nice onsen. Overall, a budget friendly hotel with a great location with...
