    Nothing!

    The staff here are absolutely lovely and were a huge help when my airline delayed my baggage for two days. The rooms are well air conditioned and I slept great despite it being the peak of July weather. 10-15 minute walk from Imazato station. Excellent range of amenities with additional extras (like rental clothes for your room) very reasonably priced. Free laundry.

    .

    So far the best hostel I stayed in so far. The interior design is amazing and they have like an array of comfy sofas, a kitchen, fridge with beers (not free) and the rooms are spacious and instead of cramming as many beds as possible they keep it spacious. Very nice host, almost every possible amenity I could think of available and great location, with a park across the street if you like a calm morning breakfast in nature. Just a few stops removed from Namba and subway is a 5 min walk. Again, so far the best hostel I stayed in and would definitely recommend it.

    A bit outside, so take into account around 500 yen each way if you want to go to the center when you have to take two metros.

    It was very comfortable and nice guests, the owner is always around if you need anything. There was a nice public bath near by too!

    Very cozy hostel with everything you need located in a quiet area but not far off from the city centre. The host is also welcoming and has great recommendations. Definitely an awesome hostel to come in contact with other travellers and enjoy Osaka. 10/10 would come back.

    The curtains let through some light around the bed- but not something that was that bothersome!

    This place is such a gem- it's one of those spots you can truly feel "at home." So many sweet little touches and amenities included in the price- even though I didn't use many of them I really appreciated the extra services they included. I wanted to extend but they were full. Don't hesitate to book this spot!

    Ken is such a wonderful host, the area is beautiful with some great restaurants, somewhat off the beaten track and therefore very much for the locals! The kotatsu (heated table) was a joy in cold weather, and this was a nice place to meet other travellers while travelling solo

    Given the price, there’s really nothing to complain about. Of course, it’s a very simple accommodation − it’s a hostel, after all.

    The staff was very kind and helpful. Both the common areas and private spaces were clean. The price is very low, making it a great option for those looking for an affordable yet clean and functional place to stay. There are several useful amenities available, such as laundry facilities, a kitchen, and even free towels. The location is also quite convenient − about a 7-minute walk from the nearest metro station, which gets you to central Osaka in just 10 minutes.

    This cozy hostel is run by a solo host — perfect for solo travelers looking for a warm and personal stay. The owner ken is a nice, friendly person. He sits along with everyone in the common area at night. He's a friendly person full of stories — always happy to share and connect with others.

    Nice and cosy guesthouse with a beautiful Japanese room (Matsu, the front room on the first floor) and friendly staff. The entrance is like a small zen forest with plants and the sound of water. Near three supermarkets. In a quiet part of Osaka. Great value for the price.

    the location is away from the chaos of the city , which is nice to my standards, the transportation from the hostel might take longer at times but still decent. the hostel feels more like a home and calm vibes.
