A densely populated hostel , with 3 beds in a row, I sleep at the middle and luckily it is not full , the staff is very noisy at night !!!!!!! ( except the Japanese Girl ) but it is very cheap....though you have to paid 270 Yen each time to the downtown area

I only love the backpackers i met there, security pin and location at the hostel, the rest are not worth mentioning at all. There are much better hostels around that area, for first timers who are reading this please do find a better hostel, i am sure you can do it. Cheers to all Backpackers who didn't pick this hostel.

The quality of the hostel is poor. The room is very small, with its 3-layer beds, none can sit upright in the bed; The hostel have no lock on the door; There are only one hot water shower On the day we left (June 7), we found about 15 Japanese police outside with certificate for searching the hostel. They even check our passports before letting us leave. I asked what happened, and they said "There are some problems with the hostel owner, that's why we were here"

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my time in Osaka. It is indeed convenient since it is walking distance from the nearest JR station..

It's cheap but you're better off finding someplace more expensive.

It was a okay hostel. It was dirty. My bedroom dorm floor never got cleaned. The same Q-tip was there my entire stay. There was dust bunnies/dirt in my dorm room floor as well as the main room. It looked clean but when you took a closer look it was not. The downstairs shower did not have hot water. I could not find the person at the front desk so I had to take a cold shower. He is never at the front desk. Later on that day I asked him and he said you would have to use the one upstairs. Both bathrooms were dirty. No wonder it is so cheap to stay there. If you are looking to save money this is the place to stay if you do not mind a little dirt. Oh bring your owe pots because the pots that they have need to be throw away. Internet is 400 yen for 1 hour.

Actually, this is a very nice hostel. The only thing that could be better is the shower. They could at least make it clean. The other parts of this hostel is great. You have a small little relaxing-room, a roof-relaxing area and it is 20 mins walk fron the Osaka shopping and party centra Namba. I would very much recommend it with most thought on the relation between the location and the price.
