Hostel très bien placé. Le staff est sympa. Sinon les lits sont pas hyper confortable. Le dortoir mériterait un rafraîchissement. Option correcte pour 1 ou 2 nuits, pas plus.

A very convenient and comfortable hostel in a great location. The elevator and proximity to the subway made it very easy to get around. The facilities were good however there is not much space in the dorms for belongings so it easily gets very messy

Lovely hostel on top of the station so very easy to get to places. Staff were welcoming and happy to give recommendations. Beds were comfortable and each had a large locker

An excellent place to stay at and very close to lots of attractions. Very easy to do a day trip to Nara and Kyoto and both places are only 40 or 50 minutes away by train. But make sure you get the limited stops express trains otherwise you stop at 30 stops instead of 8 then it takes twice as long. Hostel is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Nice hostel, very clean, right above a metro station and not far from Namba! I had a good time and met people! Each dorm has several toilets and showers and even though we were 20+ it didn’t feel like it! The staff was super nice

Just smells like wet towels. AC is not strong. They would be better off giving out towels for free each day like other hostels I’ve been to in Japan. It would clear the smell and make everything better. Staff was amazing though!

I stayed at many hostels over a month in Japan, and this was the only one I had to leave early. The bed was so thin and uncomfortable that I barely slept and my back was killing me the next day.(I am not a large man, and had no issues at any other hostels in Japan) I booked elsewhere and just ate the cost of the next night here. That being said, the staff is super super friendly and helpful, and everything is very clean. I would not recommend this to anybody who needs to sleep.

Low stars because the exit sign was right above my head in the dorm and kept me up all night because of the bright light. The hostel was actually nice but bad experience from the lack of sleep.

Prima slaapzalen, fijne bedden en goeie nette douches. Letterlijk boven de metro, waardoor je snel genoeg alle kanten op kan in Osaka!

Our first stay in Osaka and it was fantastic! Very friendly and helpful staff, nice facilities (toilets and showers) and comfortable beds. I especially enjoy the spacious storage lockers that are available. Highly recommend! Located directly above 1-B Exit of Ebisucho Station.

Decent hostel but it smelled a bit odd. I think the dorm is so large that’s an inevitability. The bathrooms were clean though. Overall it’s fine. Remarkably quiet for such a large dorm
