Really fun and chill personnel. Ask them about anything and they can most likely help. Found a lot of great food places and just stuff to do that way! After a day of exploration. Spending the evening in the bar was always enjoyable. They close at 00:00 so plenty of time to consume drinks and decide if you want to go to bed or head to the city (25-30 min. away from dotonbori on foot) Maybe some of the personnel will even join you. When to a great Martini bar (Called cinquecento) with a group of guests and two of the bartenders one night. Unforgettable night! I can definitely recommend this hostel even if you don't consume alcohol, but just want to socialize and have fun Challenge Daniel to card games, but be prepared to lose

Lost a sock in their tumble drying.

Really good location, 10-15 minutes walking distance from touristic points like Dotonbori and Denden street. Daniel the host was always available when I needed and really helpful. Besides, he is fluent in japanese, english and spanish, which isnt a easy thing to find.

The hostel really needs a place for us to dry our towels or at least change then. For anyone staying more than 2 days, the towels starts to get that bad humidity smell. Also, everyone hangs the towel wherever possible, what leads to the whole room smelling like humidity. Better curtains would be nice but the ones they already have isn’t bad.

Perfect location, near Dotonbori, but not too crazy. There is also a subway less than 5 minutes away, so you can easily travel in Osaka or to to Kyoto and Nara from there. Staff are great, very friendly guys, that are always happy to help, the bar is awesome, they have good Japanese hipster beer. You can meet interesting people in the bar. The guys running the place are really nice people. The hostel is definitely a vibe.

I didn't like the fact that I was leaving, got used to the location, cuz it's pretty much perfect, whether you want a crazy night in Dotonbori or a quiet bar chat

Super friendly host that gave great location suggestion for food and bar , the lovely bar at the bottom was also a plus . Location was super great and is close to dotonbori which has tons of good bars and restaurants.

Rooms and facilities are clean and well kept with daily cleaning, but adding an area for people to hang or dry their towel could decrease the damp smell in the room. Wish there were more ventilation in the room and near the shoe rack area ,as some guest's shoes smelled.

The location is as good as you can get with regards to Dotonburi. The staff is friendly, and welcoming and can offer lots of suggestions on local attractions. The staff are English, Spanish, French, and Japanese friendly for sure, although I bet these guys can actually speak more languages. It should be noted that I stayed in the private room, and it has plenty of space for a couple (I stayed alone). I did not experience the shared dorm at all. Daniel and Stephan were very welcoming and make some awesome drinks.

The hostel very much embodies the city of Osaka itself. It's a bit grittier, do not expect a pristine Hilton or luxury capsule experience. For Americans, it's more akin to what we would consider Airbnb-level. However, the facilities do not take away from the authentic experience of Osaka that can be had when basing your trip out of this location.

The best hostel ! The host, Daniel is super friendly ,he try to make sure that the customers feel good staying here, and i feel so safe as a women solo traveller. They provide everything you need , shower gel , shampoo , towel, hair dryer, and the bed is so comfy. Especially the location is just 3 mins walk to metro station and 5 mins walk to bus station which is go direct to Kansai airport. Downstair is a bar which is you can get high quality of Kirin craft beer and good price too. I will definitely come back here again.

Nothing

The bed was nice, the atmosphere is very friendly and you always can meet someone at the bar. Danny is really awesome and would make the best out of your trip (He is friends with everyone along that street and theres really nice places for the full Osaka experience). The location is also amazing, super close to Namba where everything is at.

Wish there were more beds so that more people could stay there, its always so popular and fully booked.

Nice and social but not too loud, friendly people in dorm. Friendly staff. Close to convenience stores and station.

Hard to do laundry because it was always being used to wash the hotels linen. Quite loud at night, everyone wanted the window open because it was so hot and aircon didnt work well, so all the street noise came through. Even when the window was shut it was so loud i had to sleep with earplugs and headphones.

The staff were great. Thank you Dani & Stefan for your great energy & fun at the bar. The door to the dorm was quiet when it closed, so even though people were in and out at all hours, I wasn't woken up. The bar was great. I felt very safe (female, solo traveler). I slept great and I loved the all black bedding. The guests were also fun and social, and willing to explore the city together. Looking forward to visiting again!

There wasn't a sign on the 24hr door on how to lock it. There was a microwave and kettle, but was not accessible in the morning.

Great hostel (and bar), well located near everything needed and Osaka's nightlife. The beds were comfortable and the place was clean. There is only one dorm which makes the hostel more social. The bar downstairs is a great place to meet people. A big thanks to Dani and Stephane who were great hosts and made my stay there the best in Japan !

Only one shower for the dorm, but to be honest it was fine I never had to wait to use it.
