Great location - a minute walk from the Nakatsu station in Osaka. There\\\'s an international ATM machine + post office nearby. The JR Osaka station is a 15 minute walk away - lots of good eats and a department store. Internet is free. Only 2 toilets and 1 shower stall , but the place is small, so you should have no problems accessing either. The lady running the place is amazingly nice and helpful.

This is my favorite hostel so far! It is only one room but the beds are immensely comfortable and there is enough privacy. The common room is excellent and all of the guests can easily mingle. The owner is delightful, but the best part are the walls in the dorm that are covered in hilarious writings. Feel free to add your own! Location is the only con.

Such a great place to stay - although a little bit out really sclose to Osaka station and literally across the road from the subway. The beds are so comfy and the girl at the door was the nicest person, we were 6hours late and she stayed up for us until 2am to help us get settled. The room itself is a madhouse, drawings all over the walls, great character. Would recommend to anyone.

Great place! This place is run by a lovely lady who giggles all the time. The hostel is very close to the subway (warning- the map provided is confusing for a place so close. I suggest turn right past the yellow curry shop and youll find it easily. Shower is good, with soap provided. Very clean, good place to meet other travellers, good sized lockers.. only prob is that its not close to the Namba area (its close to the other downtown area though).

Very Quaint and even though a little difficult to find, the lady running the place was nice and it was central enough to walk around Osaka easily and/or get to the Osaka Loop Line

This was the first hostel I ever stayed at and it made me want to do it again. The girl who worked there (I forget her name, it\'s been almost a year) was extremely helpful considering I came to Osaka on a whim without any plans. Aside from explaining all the common sightseeing, she spent about half an hour trying to find local concerts for me. The setup is also very nice. From the 5 hostels I stayed at afterwards, I discovered that the smaller the hostel and the less computers there are, the more people seem to socialize. There IS good internet, you just won\'t want to use it at such a friendly place. Within 10 minutes of being there, I was having a conversation with half the guests. Very personal, very helpful, clean, and fun. Definetly My best hostel experience in Japan. Will definetly come back next time I go to Osaka. Thank you!
