Really nice hostel near several transportation lines. The staff is mainly international and there is a bar/café on the first floor.

This hotel is not far from the subway station and tram, but it is very scary to walk in at night. It is recommended to go back as soon as possible after checking in. The staff are very nice. There is no problem in communicating in English. There are many places to eat around.

At that time, I chose this place because I needed to find a place to temporarily transition for one night. To be honest, I regretted it a little after the overall experience. First of all, every staff member I met here was really good, friendly and helpful, and helped me a lot. The decoration style of the accommodation itself is also very literary. It is a small bar downstairs. The staff are basically foreigners. It feels like a sentimental shop opened by like-minded Europeans and Americans in Japan. But to be honest, it is not so suitable for accommodation. It is quite remote here. Although it is close to the station, the roads are all small roads, and you even need to go through the vegetable market. It feels quite good during the day, but I came here at night, and it was really scary on the road. There is no elevator, the stairs are very narrow, and it is difficult to carry a lot of luggage. But fortunately, I only made do for one night, so I threw it directly on the first floor. But the hygiene is OK, this is compared with similar accommodations in South Korea 😂 Japan is still much cleaner

I used this service to travel to a live performance. There were a lot of people from overseas, so it was a little confusing, but it was a good experience.

The cheapest youth hostel in downtown Osaka. It seems to be renovated by a young couple from Europe. Overall it is not bad, similar to youth hostels in China. The transportation is quite convenient. The subway and JR are very close. There is no elevator. Be careful if you bring a big suitcase. The stairs are very steep.

Unable to get in touch with the hotel, no one answered the phone, no one communicated with you after you arrived, and the hotel's various sanitary products actually cost money, 100 yen for a toothbrush, 100 yen for a towel, and slippers also cost money.

It's a Japanese-style house, so it's extremely cold and there's no soundproofing at all. Please keep that in mind.

Very friendly, the boss is very nice, introduced each room to us, the shower room is a separate cubicle, no need to worry about bumping into others, there are a lot of foreigners, often chatting downstairs, the coffee bar is integrated, it is a very good youth hostel. Tsuruhashi Exit 5 is the closest
