I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience.The hostel was very dirty. The only toilet was broken and made a loud noise when used. The floor was sooo sticky, and there was only one toilet and two showers for all the girls, which made it really uncomfortable.On top of that, there was construction happening on the floor until 12:30 AM, YES! 12:30 AM! How crazy is that. It sounded like a drill but I’m not pretty sure.The windows didn’t block the sounds from the busy road outside, making it hard to sleep and the WiFi didn’t work for most of the time I stayed there.The beds were very basic, and the lights were poorly placed. The curtains didn’t provide enough privacy, and you could hear everything, showers, people in the toilets, so it was far from quiet.The bed doesn’t go until the top so there’s a big bag, which allows all the light to come in.The blinds let in too much morning light, the room doesn’t get dark.I even found a spider in the toilet this morning.There was a conversation happening with some other guests, and the girls I’ve spoken to, were unhappy about how dirty and uncomfortable the place was.I can just tell what I’ve heard from them.I didn’t see any locals staying there, which doesn’t surprised me given Japan’s high cleanliness standards. I was reading the bad reviews earlier and the owner actually confirmed that less than 0.1% of the guests are Japanese.It’s not standard for them and it shouldn’t be to anyone.There were signs everywhere warning people about the rules, like: “don’t touch it” “keep it away” “don’t open it” “only staff can touch it” “you will be fined, which made it feel more like a prison. There was no real social area or kitchen just two couches by the reception where the staff were always around, making it not really private.I’m glad I only stayed for one night. The owner was somewhat friendly and let me leave my luggage before check-in, but the overall vibe was off. The location is 5 min walking distance from a subway.If you’re thinking about booking here, please consider another place or wait until they fix these problems.It’s hard to believe a hostel like this exists in Japan, where I’ve found much cleaner places in poorer countries.After traveling for six months full time and visitingI I over 40 countries in my life, this was one of the worst places I've stayed.I hope that’s helpful for people out there looking for a place to stay.

We had a private room which was not far away from the hostel itself (half a block walk). The private room was a small apartment with even a small balcony and a kitchenette. We did not use the kitchenette, but on first look, there was not much kitchenware available. Clean, quiet and in a great location.

I was a little worried because it was so cheap, but everything was fine.Although it wasn't super clean, the bed was comfortable and I had a good night's sleep.It was mostly full probably because it was cheap, but everyone was well mannered and quiet.Best of all is the location.It's a 5 minute walk to Sakuragawa Station, and you can even walk to Namba.It's extremely cheap to be able to stay at this price in such a good location.It's OK if you can sleep well, and is recommended for those who value the price.

The view was great, and the space where we could all gather, talk, rest, and play was well-decorated and nice, as if we were on a real vacation.

I liked it in every way. The owner and staff are all friendly. There is an elevator and the common living room is well decorated, so it's great to relax. The bedding was clean, the bathroom was clean, and the location was good. However, cash is required as credit cards are not accepted for on-site payment.

The living room and terrace in the common areas are stylish, and there is also a bar, creating an atmosphere that makes it easy to socialize! There's also a DJ booth and speakers, so it's highly recommended for music lovers!The staff are kind and friendly⭐︎
