Osaka Hostels

Service is very nice and helpful. I got a lot of tips that were very valuable to me. Near the metro line. Shower is provided only for women with excellent cosmetics for people who care for the skin. I recommend. If I ever welcome to Osaka, I'll be sure to come back.

The room was very spacious for a hostel, and I got a lower bed, which made it really convenient to store my luggage next to the bed. Everything was very clean, and they provided plenty of amenities—pretty much everything you could need. The location was absolutely great. It’s only about a 10-minute walk to the main landmarks, which was very convenient. Overall, I had a really good stay. The only downside was that the check-out time was a little too early for me.

The accommodation was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which I really appreciated. I frequently saw staff members cleaning throughout the day. The toilets, showers, sleeping areas, and locker spaces were all spotless. It's close to Namba Station Exit 25, but I'd recommend taking the escalator at Exit 24 and walking a bit further. Exit 25 has narrow stairs, making it difficult to carry luggage up and down. The location is great for shopping, being close to the famous Glico Man and roughly halfway between Nankai Namba Station and Shinsaibashi Station. There were three minor downsides: Firstly, the Wi-Fi connection was unreliable. Secondly, the sleeping area felt quite sunken, almost as if I was feeling the floor beneath. Thirdly, although the reception is on the 5th floor, the sleeping area is women-only. However, when I stepped out, there were men also present in the common lounge area.

The environment is comfortable, and being able to soak in the hot springs at a capsule hotel is fantastic! The location is also excellent, just 50 meters straight from the subway 🚇, a 2-minute walk. It's a 5-minute walk to catch the Nankai Line to Kansai Airport or Mount Koya. The privacy is great, but the soundproofing is poor. During my three-night stay, it really depended on luck. The worst was the night of April 6th-7th (my second night). My neighbor was packing their suitcase from 11 PM to 12:30 AM – **incredibly loud**! It woke me up, and then other roommates left at 2:30 AM. The other two nights were okay. Despite all this, I'm still willing to give it an overall score of 4.8 and would stay here again next time.

The location is easy to find. You have to take off your shoes and go up to the front desk on the second floor. The capsule rooms are small but sufficient. There are many capsules in one room, so it's inevitable that there's a slight odor, but it's not a big issue. I arrived late, so my suitcase had to be left in the hallway, but they provided a safety lock, and it was actually more convenient to pack in the hallway. The lockers and capsules are in the same space, so the capsules near the lockers might not be very quiet. There are a bit few sinks, so you might have to wait during peak hours. The cleanliness and service were both good. One afternoon, I saw a staff member cleaning the room very diligently. Overall, the experience was comfortable, and the price was very reasonable. I would consider staying here again.

This accommodation is right in the city center, making it incredibly convenient for getting around. The staff are lovely, and breakfast is included – even if it's the same Japanese curry rice every day, it's perfectly fine. However, the air conditioning in the female dorm was a bit weak; it would be much better if it were cooler. If you're looking to stay in the heart of the city, this place is an excellent choice. I'm actually planning to stay here again at the end of the year and next March.

I ended my stay early for a couple of reasons. One; the mattress in my pod was too short and my feet hung off the and. I’m nearly 6 foot. Also, the guy in the pod next to me was snoring very, very loudly all night. Sue the manager kindly let me switch to another pod but I was still uncomfortable so she allowed me to check out early. Also, the place is very cramped and cluttered. Stuff everywhere. It just didn’t suit me. But Sue was unbelievably helpful, kind and understanding.

What I like about Jakotel is the location and modern facilities. It is located near Dotonbori and super near Kuromon market (though avoid eating there. It’s a tourist trap with super expensive and not so good food). As mentioned by others, though it says Namba but the nearest station is Nipponbashi. Bed and duvet is comfortable and facilities are kept clean. What I didn’t like is that the shower room is on the first floor for everyone (a tad inconvenient). But since I knew about it from past review, I brought a waterproof toiletries bag. Toilets are on each floor - only 1 per floor. Though there are only 2 shower room, I really didn’t have to wait at all even though the hostel is fairly full. However, since the door to the shower room is not closed, you have to dress inside the shower. The wash basin area is really for just that, washing hands or putting on make up. The other thing that could be improved is communication. There is no way to communicate with the hostel. They don’t reply to chat online and calling them is also not helpful. It’s quite concerning when you want to verify booking, confirm check in details or request for top/bottom bunk. Email for check in came 5 days before check in. Other than the regular cleaners around, there is no other staff. The cleaners are mostly Vietnamese and speak very little English but they do try to help (albeit the language barrier). Check in and check out is automated.

This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, and I was really impressed! If you opt for a slightly more premium room, it honestly feels pretty similar to a standard hotel. The location is incredibly convenient; you're in the tourist area within a 5-minute walk. Plus, the hotel has excellent facilities, including a restaurant, massage services, and a lounge. I'll definitely choose this place again when I'm traveling alone for work next time.

I had a really great time here at Casa G.S. Everything was way beyond my expectations. In terms of location, it took me only 5 mins on foot to reach Osakako train station, Chuo Line. With your luggage, you may chose to walk up stairs or take an elevator to and down the train station. You can also visit the nearby shopping mall (Tempozan Market Place) which is located near a beautiful bay, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyuka, and a big ferris wheel. A local bus stop is around 3 minutes away. Tax-free shops, Japanese restaurants, convenience stores (Lawson, 7-11, Family Mart) can easily be reached in the area. For room condition, fortunately I believe the place has been renovated for less than one year, so everything is very nice and clean. I stayed with my parents for 4 nights. The beds were hygienic and comfortable which was a plus to when you were exhausted after long walking days. It has all the necessities you can ever think of such as refrigerator, power socket, adapter, air-con, wet wipes and amenities. The check-in/out, door-lock, and entry systems require no staff or any unlocking devices/tools to pass which were very convenient and secure. An elevator is in place. This is crucial! The lobby has a luggage storage area (free of charge) and a pantry where you can borrow or use necessary kitchenware. Its bathroom may not be that spacious, but very clean and good enough for a short stay. For those considering this place and making decisions, I do highly recommend with this reasonable price offered. คนไทยที่กำลังตัดสินใจอยู่ บอกเลยที่นี่นอนสบายมากครับ เตียงนุ่ม สะดวกและคุ้มค่ามากครับ ประทับใจสุดๆ
