Für den Preis völlig in Ordnung. Dennoch sehr minimalistisch (die Föhne im Bad hätte man sich zum Beispiel sparen können, funktionieren eh nicht wirklich) Wenig Raum zum Gepäckverstauen aber machbar. Das personal war immer freundlich. Die Gemeinschaftsarea finde ich sehr uneinladend :( und 2 Toiletten sind auch einfach nicht genug

12 nights in a dorm room. Don't expect luxury, or ultra cleanliness, it's just a cozy place to stay. Common area is quite a narrow room with just a table and amenities. There are no lockers, just a small lockable cabinet at the second floor, probably away from your dorm, which barely can fit a small backpack, so be prepared fo that. Clean bathrooms and showers, don't worry. They have slippers but, get your own slippers. Staff was quite nice and kind, they prepare awesome takoyaki. Overall good.

All good, apart from no USB charging sockets in the hostel at all. But one of the guys found me one I could plug into the wall socket

Amazing for the prise! Great confortable beds! However, it is weird that the women's toilet is not on the same floor as the women's only room... But otherwise, it is a great hostel!!

Overall okay, but only female toilets on two floors, with only 1 or 2 toilets on each. Not the best showers or bathrooms.

Pretty good location and staff were friendly! Otherwise not much else great about this hostel, felt generally dirty and run down, no security at all- anyone could walk off the street into the rooms and only tiny lockers available on a separate floor, only two toilets available (also only on a separate floor), one tiny communal room with one table, surprised at the good reviews this place has to be honest!

The place was Okey. The commonroom was not that good, a little space with few chairs. The location was greate, with walking distance to the city sentrum. Wasnt the cleanest, the beds were just ok, but there was a lot of space in the cubes. Some of the beds were verry Clumpy by the wiering. And it smelled like fries food in the whole building except the bedrooms. But overall it wasn’t that bad, and you get good value for the money, for two to three nights. We would come back.

Overall was perfect! Clean and tidy dorms and bathroom. the showers are just in one floor and there's no door just a sheet to cover the shower space (divided for man and woman) this was a little bothering. There's not really a common space and no kitchen, just the bar at the first floor. Beside this everything else pretty good

Ubicacion dificil. La estacion hommachi es complicada con un recortido de 20 minutos o mas para salir de esa estacion. Hostal muy barato y es lo mejor que tiene.. cama comoda. Pero la limpieza brilla por su ausencia tanto en las habitaciones y baños. Pero asi y todo se recomienda por su precio. Osaka es una ciudad complicada por su caotico transporte

Being my first time in Japan, I didn't know what to expect from the hostels. The staff did their job well but nothing above and beyond. The hostel was very clean and for the period when I travelled, it had excellent value for money. The location was great as it was right near a subway station which is so ideal for getting around. I recommend this for anybody looking to save on their accommodation.

We loved the place! Close to convenient stations and shops/places to eat. The beds were SUPER comfortable and very private the rooms didnt feel over crowded like other places. Loved having the restaurant at the first floor and the staff were friendly. Only cons were that there were only small security lockers not in the rooms. Women’s bathroom not being on the floor i slept on, showers having just a curtain and the constant hair in the sinks (plus water everywhere bc of water pressure of taps)

Very clean and organised, havev to take shoes off and wear their shoes way of keeping place clean. The guy who helped cook Tako was very friendly and helpful. Not sure of his name. But he was amazing.
