Osaka Municipal Nagai Youth Hostel in Osaka, Japan

It's what you except from a well-run hostel, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Location seems a bit out of the way, but is close to a JR line. For the lost people - it's AT the big stadium near the station. Look at the map of the stadium once you get there. Paul, from USA ~ 20th Jan 2009

This hostel is NOT for partier-types: doors are locked at 11:00pm, and the atmosphere is quiet and tranquil with no socializing. That said, it's a GREAT place to get in early and have a relaxing night's rest. It's clean and modern, with nice beds and even a Japanese-style hot bath. There are beer and ramen vending machines. It's actually IN a large soccer stadium, which is cool. Very friendly staff. Roy, from USA ~ 7th Jan 2009
