Tried a dozen different hostels in Osaka and it's been the best to meet people in Osaka. Stick around the common area and just be ready to go anywhere and have fun. Great staff, especially Miyako! With great vibes and a great price! Check the board for organized events or make your own if you want others to go with you if you find something good

It’s an amazing place in the heart of osaka. The staff is not from this world they’re amazing people to be around. You can realy enjoy a good and deep talk with almost all the people you meet there (staff included especially the girl with the redish hair). I would recommend the place to all open minded people who wanna have a good time.

It was an average hostel. Nothing special, but also not too expensive. Don't expect anything great, but it's okay.

The room key is difficult to open and close. The cooler stinks. The walls were thin and the room next door was noisy until 2am. The shower room is dirty. I will never go there again.

Worst place I've been to in Japan so far, my bedroom ceiling was leaking just in front of my bed, the place wasn't really clean and the furniture was old and sometimes very rusty. Also you have to make your own bed which is the first for me, ive never seen that anywhere else in the world. The area doesn't feel safe neither, you will find drunk people all around the hostel at any time of the day or the night. I can't really say anything about the people working there as I almost never saw them. The only good point is that it's not too far from shinsekai and dotonbori, otherwise just try to avoid this place.

The staff are very friendly and funny, they make the experience very pleasant. The shared rooms are well equipped with a lamp and a socket for each room. The common area is a meeting and conversation place where you can meet other travelers and even share experiences outside the hostel such as excursions. Overall very welcoming and at a very affordable price.
