    It was my second time staying here. Great location, friendly staff and very cheap. Previously I stayed in a superior capsule and I was surprised at how much space you have. This time I stayed in a standard capsule in the female dormitory and the bed area is quite spacious. The facilities are also very clean. I would definitely give this a go if you're going to Osaka for a short stay.

    Very clean, well presented rooms. Had the family room which was a good size for 4 adults. It would be perfect for families with kids that want a cheap stay. Check in is all self managed. Once we had checked in on the tablet, the receptionist called to confirm we had all the room details, great service. Communal area and balcony was very clean and usable. Didn’t hear any other guests. It’s thin line between hostel and hotel. Very close to all the main markets too.

Late checkout was possible with no extra charge, the receptionist was willing to wait for me for a late check in, nice terrace and benches outside reception as well as kitchen and common parts.

The shower room was clean the day we arrived and with free towel service. Easy access to the room by lift. Clean toilets as well. The staff was really helpful and are around between 9am until 8pm to help with any request. Cheap prices too if you need to stay on a budget on your trip to Japan!

    Extremely cheap backpacker style accommodation especially considering that it is private rooms rather then bunk beds. Futons are surprisingly comfortable. Common room seemed to be quite busy most nights if you are the social type. Pretty good location, 15 minutes or so from Namba Station. Easy enough location to get around. "Poorer" area so provides an interesting and different look into Japanese life, always felt safe though. Several convince stores nearby to buy water and a breakfast bento on your way out sightseeing.
