    Absolutely loved my stay here! The hostel is just 300 meters from the station, super convenient! Located in a residential area, it's really peaceful. The place is spotlessly clean, including the shared kitchen, which also has self-service tea and coffee! Originally booked for a trip to USJ, but discovered it's a breeze getting to any other part of Osaka from here too! Highly recommend!

    The location is far from city but just 1 stop to USJ. If you want to visit USJ, you must stay here and use the money to buy souvenir in USJ.

    The room, kitchen, lobby, everything is very clean and organized. Feels homy and cozy.

    There was a night that someone adjusted the ac unit to a higher temp or heating mode.

    I like that it is near USJ, train station and family mart convenience store. Common areas (living, dining and kitchen) are so helpful and comfortable.

    I have no complaints about the place or its staff.

    Excellent location! If you want to get to the train station, you just walk 5 minutes and you are there. You get to Universal Studio from the station in 5 minutes. I would stay there again on a next occasion.

    It does get a little bit noisy when there are people in the corridors, but that's not a problem if you draw the curtains on your unit. The curtains block out quite a good amount of noise. Although it is a short walk from the train station, there is no escalator down to the first floor, so you'll have to carry your luggage down the stairs before walking over to the hotel. That's just a minor inconvenience though, especially if you only have a small bag.

    The room felt very clean and the staff on duty were always very polite and friendly. I asked one of the staff, Ken, for food recommendations in the area and he offered very helpful advice! They even have a collection of recommended places organised in a little folder for their guests! The staff could speak very fluent English and it felt like the vibe there was very positive and cheerful. Most guests here are also in their 20s or early 30s, so it felt like I was staying in a college dormitory, which brought back many good memories!
