The worst sharehouse ever.This place used to be a hostel but due to lack of tourists/guests they made this place into a sharehouse.I got a tiny room for myself and it got a tiny window but since there's another building right next to this sharehouse there was literally no sunlight coming in and it was dark all day long. I honestly got crazy since the air is super dusty, and even tho I told the stuff (the Korean one) to change the lightbulb he didn't do anything. I hate this place.

This hostel is very cheap and close to Shinbashi station and in walking distance from the main things in town. It’s a little weird that the sink is in a whole different room than the toilet. But other than that the accommodation is fine for you the price.

Very cheap and located in walking distance to Dotombori (the Lake with all the neon and light) and some nice side-streets (and on the nicer side of Dotombori), but still without all the noice from the city

5 minutes from the subway , very close to a big supermarket . Walking distance from main districts in Osaka. Common spaces pretty clean , the only issue we had was the size of the double bed , a bit too small for us.
