I loved Hotel Raizan. Like the other reviews said, it was a bit of a walk from the station (every bit of seven minutes). But all things considered, that's not too bad. My room was cheap, clean, and comfortable. I got cold at night, so I was glad the AC worked well. I didn't end up using the showers, but... More

This hotel was far from what the site led you to believe. It was noisy, cramped, and dirty. Wearing slippers in the bathroom was absolutely necessary. It's Japan, so slippers were provided, but I didn't want to use them, because the bathroom was filthy anyway, and the slippers were guaranteed to be as filthy as the bathroom itself. Nasty. The...

The hotel is clean and quiet, but no breakfast. The location is really closed to Shin - Immamiya Station (just less than 10 minutes walking), we could find a lot of convenient stores around the hotel. The staffs are very kind and helpful. They allowed us to keep our baggage for hours after checking out while we were visiting other... More

The service was OK. We even got some discount for the charge. It is more cheaper if u book thru the hotel's website rather than the online booking agent. Conveniently located near some subway and train stations with several cheap food stalls located nearby. Standard japanese hotel style with satisfaction cleanliness. WIFI connection was superbly fast. Last time I DL... More

I recently went to Japan on a solo trip and stayed at Hotel Raizan South for a total of 5 nights. Since I'm a female, so I was given a room on the female-only level 7 (single room, japanese style). There's free wifi (get password from reception) in the room and free coffee in the morning. They also have printouts... More

I saved quite a lot of money by staying at this budget hotel in Osaka. When talking about budget, meaning smaller room, poor amenities and location. But it may not be all true. The location was good and it takes about 5 mins walk from Shin-imamiya station. Next, the room size is ok and most of the amenities were provided... More

Dobutsuenmae is the nearest station, Do Not use the Shinimamiya station,as we can't speak English and wasted almost half hour stranded elsewhere. Twin room was really spacious by Japanese standard, good sunlight and very clean. The receptionist is friendly,informative and considerate. Bathroom on the ground floor was quite small, but water pressure is strong, toilet on our level is very... More

We were going through Kyoto on our way south to Hiroshima. Through some quick Google searching, I found Raizan as a place to stay on short notice. I booked online before showing up. When we checked in, they needed the usuals like photocopy of passport, etcetera. The double room is small, though not as small as some other similar places... More

There's something charming this place. It seems to fit perfectly in place with the bizarre, 1980s feel of the area. Upon entering the hotel, you will be greeted enthusiastically by the middle-aged receptionist, who by the way speaks excellent English. The place is old but very clean. The room we had is simple and spacious, complete with a/c and tv.... More
