There is no common room, the bar opens at 1500, until then you don’t see the staff. There is one bathroom and one shower for the communal floor. In the communal room there was no AC or it turned off on at night. The staff were very nice and knowledgeable about the city. The beer at the bar was cheap and the location is very walkable.

I spent a week at this hostel and it was an incredible experience! The dorms are exceptionally clean and provide plenty of privacy, even when fully occupied. The mattress was super comfortable, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver during the hot Osaka summer. Anytime I needed something, the friendly staff at the reception and bar were always available to help. The bar is a great spot to connect with other travelers, and locals often stop by in the evenings, adding to the lively atmosphere. Daniel, the bartender, can whip up any drink you ask for, and they were always top-notch! For those moments when I wanted a bit more privacy, I appreciated the option to use the back entrance to skip the bar area altogether. The location is also perfect—just a 2-minute walk to the subway, with a supermarket and places to eat right around the corner. Highly recommend staying here!

It honestly baffles me that this place is so highly rated.The positives: the bed is comfy. It’s within walking distance to some restaurants and bars and transportation.The negatives:The A/C doesn’t work for a dorm room of 12 people. Everyone in my room is talking about how hot it is. There’s one shower, one toilet, one sink for 12 people. The water in the sink only runs VERY hot (which is gross considering how hot it is all day and night).There is no space to put your bags in the room at all. Everyone just scatters their things all over the floor.There’s no proper common area at all, so there’s no where for anyone to socialize or chill except in the hot dormitory room. There is a bar downstairs which technically serves as the socializing/common area, but it’s absolutely tiny and only opens at 3pm. It’s literally a bar with one table and 4 chairs.There isThink twice before staying here. I paid for 4 nights and I’m going to leave before my stay is up because it’s that bad. I hope they will refund part of my stay because everything about this hostel is misleading. No AC and no common room is an absolute disaster.

Friendly and helpful staff, five minutes walk from a station near Namba, and a happy a**osphere with the bar downstairs.But avoid if you don't want noise and light during the night. Also no light for each bed.

Very friendly and welcoming, helped us with local food suggestions and better ways to navigate Japan. Cold beer after a hot, humid, rainy day with friendly bartender and patrons was much needed.
