This is more a hotel than a hostel, and seems to be used mainly for Japanese business travel. Didn't meet anyone there, there are no real common areas and the whole place stinks of cigarettes. However, it was cheap, clean, the beds were good, and I'd recommend it provided you just want to use it...

Good little hotel, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Friendly staff, small rooms but has all you need and close to trains.

It`s rather a hotel than hostel, friendly staff, if you can speak japanese, the beds were clean, xcept some bugs crawling in the public toilet room. free movies were nice since around in the evening, there wasn`t that much to do. otherwise, i slept very well.

it was a good place to stay for a couple days, what made it good was the friendly and eager to help staff

The hostel is a great place to stay. Early check in at 9am was permitted, and the staff offered friendly assistance. Plus the location was very convenient.

Rooms were pretty small but clean and the beds were comfy! The onsen was an experience not to be missed but be careful as there is not much time for women to use them!

A little smokey rooms, but hotel very inexpensive. Japanese bathrooms which are a little suprising to the unprepared.

Very ordinary hostel in a dangerous part of Osaka. Room was clean, internet is free but the rest is not very good. Not recommended.

This isn't a hostel, it's a hotel in osaka, it doesn't have the features of a hostel, and you'll find more business people than travelers.

A very cheap hotel in a run down part of town, but the room has a TV, there's PCs and wireless internet and some cheap eating places nearby. The directions were poor. It should add, you leave the station by the east exit, stand at the intersection and look up diagonally across the road for the...

For 2200 yen a night its pretty much what you would expect. A bed, TV and heater. Good value if you`re looking for somewhere cheap.

Not bad for a couple nights stays. A little on the sketchy side, but I would feel fine there alone. They bath is nice and they offer free movie rentals.

this was exactly what i needed for coming to japan to get my visa for korea. close to the embassy, close to good food and shopping, and cheap. if you stay here, go to spa world! it's across the street.

The price and location were great, and the staff was really friendly. It was a really good price, BUT that's because it was the tiniest room I've ever seen in my life. For what I paid, I was happy, and it was just what I needed, but definitely not among the best!

having restricted shower times causes problems, and the curfew is a little early.

Whether it be dodging the sporadic spit of bedraggled old men or browsing the besmeared dvd shops. The staff, although friendly, cannot speak English so be sure you plan ahead so you do not have to rely on directions. Each room has a TV and video as well as a box of tissues at the side of the bed. "What is he trying to insinuate I hear you ask?" Just to clarify, there is also a substantial amount of porn available opposite the reception desk and there is an eleven o clock curfew. Once the curfew hits, you will be haunted by the sound of green slippers shuffling up and down the corridor. Worse is the mere thought of the cheese fest that will likely be taking place next door. In short, the place has character, whether that is a good thing depends on whether you enjoy making friends with yourself.close

The hotel was extremely affordable, but I did not like the fact, that most visitors were...excuse my language... porn-watching, wanking men looking at a woman guest like an alien. The hotel stacked aa lot a adult films and th clientele looked thereafter.

Our room smelled like milk and the hours for females to use the shower are short, but the air conditioners are great and the movie selection is pretty good. I also like the company we met and teh free internet!!!

The elevator is the size of a tiny closet and the showers are one the first floor; good luck if you are a woman travelling alone. I had several men knocking on my door asking for directions at 10 PM at night, but luckily my boyfriend answered the door. The staff was curt and quite rude by any standard. The smell of the rooms were quite bad (we had two rooms for four people). However, for the price I would say it is a good deal for male students who are one a very very tight budget.close

it was near transportation, however, the curfew made our stay in osaka dull. upon traveling elsewhere, we were notified that osaka has one of the best nightlife in japan and we missed it! oh well. our mistake. i woudn't stay here again because i am young, but for people not big on nightlife, it...
