Hostel Q is located right in Dotonbori, which is so convenient for going out at night and not having a long trip back. Room was fairly spacious, but the mattress was quite thin. Since you’re in Dotonbori it will be quite noisy but I didnt have major problems falling asleep.Good amount of showers, only a few toilets, and friendly staff.

Stayed here in mid December in 2023 with 2 of my mates, and we couldn't have been happier! basement area had one of my fave things, a guitar, while also having enough space for a solid 2-3 dozen people. Kitchen area in basement was amazing and seating was incredible. Rooms weren't crazy good, but were definitely good enough to sleep in, overall the three of us had a great time and would come here again if offered the chance to come back to Osaka!

The air conditioner seems to need cleaning.The entire room is suffocating due to the moldy smell.Thanks to this, I knew for sure what the mold smell was.Are you changing the bedding?My body itched. It's dirty.I couldn't sleep because my skin and nose were so painful.

Hostel Q is a classic backpackers stay. It's affordable, social and super close to the busy district of Dontonbouri. You're right in the middle of the action here! If you're looking for luxury, Hostel Q is not the place for you. If you're looking for a few quick nights to feel safe, sleep and party, this is definitely the right place. The lower floor is a socializing/communal area with a kitchen and some seating. The main floor is reception with additional seating and as you work up the floors you see the hostel rooms. There are private rooms however they are bunk beds. The beds were moderately comfortable, AC was in the rooms and the bathrooms on every floor were relatively clean, I saw several staff cleaning the bathrooms daily. Some of the toilets still had a funky smell despite cleaning, but otherwise it was clean. We stayed here for 4 nights and loved how close it was to everything, including the train station just being a few minutes walk away. It was very affordable as well. I would recommend younger backpackers stay here!

Location is greatThe cleanliness of restrooms, shower rooms, and other rest areas is average.The men's dormitory is the worst...Maybe it's because I can't open the window and ventilate.When you enter, the smell of okonomiyaki wafts through you.The smell of delicious okonomiyaki is worth it...Because it’s a smell that comes from aging and aging and continuing to age.It's really hard to breathe.Except for dormitories, windows are open for ventilation.Looking at it, it seems to be okay, but the dormitory isI can't give you a recommendation unless you have money.
