- Aminatus (9/5): Nice place but I forgot to take a picture - The cafe and the staff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The stairs 😏
- Aguilera (10/5): -
- jun mo (2/5): -
- Manon (9/5): Bien - C’est très bien Il y a pas mal des escaliers
- Satoshi (7/5): - 客層がものすごく良かったです
- Shinobu (5/5): 駅からのアクセスが良く、外出に便利 - 駅の改札口によってはアクセスがとても簡単で近いです。 スタッフの方と滞在者は海外の方がメインですので英語に抵抗がない方は楽しいと思います。 シャワールームと洗濯機は定期的に業者を入れて清潔に保っていただけると宿泊施設としては良いのかなと感じました。 徒歩圏内にコインランドリーと大きめの銭湯があるので、外の選択肢に困らなかったのが幸いでした。
- Lucas (9/5): A great place to live at to visit Osaka - I met great people, associated with great accommodations !! Truly a place to stay at.
- YAMAMOTO (8/5): -
- Ashutosh (7/5): -
- Mathias Alejandro (7/5): Very comfortable, very nice staff, could use a different floor type - Staff is super friendly and helpful. Location is very convenient. May sound super picky. It's hard to make that floor type (gray/concrete-like) look clean as it feels very outdoor-sy. So it gives the whole place a "feeling" of not being super clean (even if it is).
- Wonjae (6/5): - 지히철과 가까움 없음
- 立間 (9/5): -
- Wonjae (6/5): - 츠루하시(코리아타운)과 가깝습니다 장소가 조금 안 쪽으로 들어가 있어서 여성들에게는 비추합니다. 게다가 숙소가 시장 옆이라. 저녁 6시 이후에는 음산합니다. 그럼에도 가성비와 코리아 타운과 가깝다는 것!
- Rika (8/5): 安くて駅近 - 駅からもコリアンタウンにも近くて安い 強いて言うなら、階段しかないのでキャリーバッグは少し大変。シャワー室に行く階段は一番角度が直角に近い。
- CHIHO (5/5): -
- Moe (10/5): また行きたい！もっと長く滞在したい！ - 清潔でした！ 日本語が一切聞こえなくて海外に来た気分でワクワクしました！ 特にありません！ 階段が少し急なのでお気を付けください！

- setsuo (10/5): 良い👍 - 静かな場所にあり観光、駅などの場所からも近くて良い。内装も味が出ていて昔の田舎の海外旅行を思い出した。 特にない。
- YENCHUNG (10/5): - 離地鐵近，乾淨舒服，床有支撐好睡。樓梯有點陡（但對背包客沒啥影響）
- Yumiko (10/5): また使用したいです！ - リーズナブル。駅もとても近くて快適でした。 チェックイン手続きは全て英語でした。私は問題なかったですけど、英語ができない人はどうするんだろうと思いました。

- Eva (9/5): - Bon barri, bona situació i ben comunicat, tant amb transport públic com si vols caminar. Les habitacions estan molt bé.
- Lara (8/5): - La excelente ubicación del lugar y que la mayoría del personal habla inglés y español El estado de las instalaciones, se siente un poco sucio y descuidado.
- Travers (10/5): Fantastic hostel ❤ - Legendary hostel which kindly let me check in at midnight 🙏🤗❤ That I didn't spend enough time there!!

- Malory (7/5): It was nice and near the station! - Location was very close to the station and I had no problems finding it, checking in, and staying. I wished that the cafe opened earlier in the morning. Also the community space upstairs was a bit cramped but we could use the cafe space!
- Olivia (6/5): - .
- Nana (7/5): -
- Shiori (3/5): 翌朝早い人は泊まらない方がいいです - 万博の前泊で利用しました。夢洲駅までのアクセスが良く、(夜は暗く道も細くて女性の一人歩きには不安が大きかったですが)駅が近くて安いです。洗面所が多いので、朝の身支度にも不便しません。 1階にカフェバーがあり、日付変更後もずっとうるさくて眠れませんでした。22時以降は宿泊客に配慮して騒がないようにという注意書きが申し訳程度にありますが、騒いでいる客に対してスタッフが注意する様子は全くありません。ドアが薄いので少し大声で話されると部屋まで丸聞こえですし、部屋の前の廊下を歩くギシギシした音も響きます。

- Samara (10/5): - I loved the place; the staff are super kind and very friendly. I thought the hotel’s location was very good; it’s close to the subway, near the JR Line and the Kintetsu Line. There are convenience stores nearby, several Korean restaurants, and I thought it was excellent value; it offered great cost-effectiveness. It was pleasant.
- QUANG LIEM (9/5): -
- Tomonori (10/5): - 夜はとても静かでした。
- AIKO (5/5): 価格を考えるとまぁまぁ良かったです。 - 価格が安い。夜はとても静かでした。 スタッフの方が全員外国人だということは記載した方がいいと思います。設備の説明も全て英語での案内で日本語はあまり通じないと思っていた方がいいです。
- 立間 (8/5): 気軽な泊まれる駅近ホテル。 - 気軽に使えるホテルです。 特になし。
- Delvalle (10/5): - I liked it all because it is very calm.
- Nasser (7/5): -
- 佳那子 (5/5): - ドライヤーが無料で借りれた。歯ブラシとかのアメニティ売ってくれてた。 22:00からQuiet timeだったけど、00:00ころまで１階でどんちゃん騒ぎしててうるさかった。寝れなかった。 日本語通じなかった。日本なのに。
- Kanako (7/5): -
- Jamie (8/5): - The staff were great people, i spent a lovely evening with almost all of them on my final night. The lower pods in the bunk room were very small (i am very tall so not an issue for everyone)
- Masako (7/5): 鶴橋の街を楽しむには良い - 鶴橋のコリアンタウンを楽しめ、かつ裏通りの静かなロケーションで良かった。 トイレやシャワーは清潔で使いやすかった。 2段ベッドの上だったのですが、階段が少し使いにくかった。 キッチン前の共用部分がもう少し広いと良かった。
- まりえ (4/5): - やはり共同部屋ということもあって、騒音が気になりました。万博の帰りに泊まったので、疲れて21時過ぎに寝てしまいましたが、夜中2時ぐらいまで人の出入りがあって、その都度廊下の明かりが気になり、人の話し声も気になりました。ベッドも大して掃除もされてなくて、シャワールームももう少し掃除した方が良いと思います。洗面所も誰かの髭剃りの後が残ってたら、共同キッチンにも誰かの食べ残したお皿などがシンクに置かれていました。単に寝るだけで利用しましたが、最低限のところがかなり汚く感じました。人が泊まる施設なので、もう少し掃除はしてもらった方が良いかと思います。あの施設で二人で14000円は正直高く感じました。
- Carlotta (10/5): Exceptional -
- 基博 (7/5): Good -
- Bertrand (4/5): - Staff slightly unprofessional and noisy.
- Rodrigo (8/5): - I loved the location and the staff. the beds were very nice as well, my only complaint is the ladder to get to the bunkbeds, having 2 ladders for 4 beds was uncomfortable.
- Adam (10/5): - Very good
- April (5/5): Thank you! - Location. The staff is not friendly.
- Krehula (10/5): Exceptional - Overall pretty good
- Thijs (8/5): Very good -
- Gold (10/5): 10/10 - The staff were super friendly and helpful! The check-in and check-out process were both swift and easy. The staff gave many good recommendations for my trip here! Can't wait to come back!
- Juliet (10/5): Exceptional -
- 誠二 (10/5): Awesome thanks!! -
- Verified traveler (4/5): 便宜但還好 - 房間衛生很一般，廁所及浴室還可以 雖然有獨立房間，但是隔音跟沒有一樣 隔壁住客稍為講話大聲一點，就很被打擾 從鐵路走到民宿的路也不好走 唯一優點是比較便宜？但如果不差這個錢，真的不推
- Rsco (10/5): Super chill good vibes and comfy! - Love the cafe bar area downstairs. Super chill vibe really nice to chill and socialise in. Also great location I only had to walk 5 mins to station! And loads of great food on the way! Showers were great always hot and the beds comfy! Thanks to the staff who checked me in and help with local food recommendations I would have liked to stay longer!!
- Almendra (10/5): Great vibe and cozy - This hostel has a great vibe! first floor is cafeteria so you can chill there have a good coffe and pudding and interact with the staff for the whole day, they're from many countries and most of them speak English so its great if you want to make friends and practice! Great location! is 2 minutes away from Kintetsu and 5 min from JR and Sennichimae line, and 3 stations away from main touristic places in Osaka so its pretty convenient. The place is clean and you can leave your luggage before checking in and after checking out, sometimes if you really need it and ask for it they can check you in earlier! Bed is comfortable, showers and toilets are clean, things like shampoo and conditioner are provided and you can have towels and wash your clothes for a little payment. Also wifi is fast.
- Ruby (10/5): Aesthetically Beautiful, super cozy and clean - Everything! It is so cozy and aesthetically pleasing! The bed are so comfy and warm. And the facilities are brilliant and clean! I love that it is 3/5 min walk to station and only 3 stops away for central namba! They have a super cute cafe bar with games and great music! Also thank you to the staff for making our stay so lovely 😍 Nothing! I had a brilliant stay!
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikole (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicolai (10/5): Comfortable stay - Stayed here for the night as the place i stayed at before this was horrendous, this is cleaner and nicer. Only stayed one night but i had a very comfortable staff. Staff were nice and price was good too. None. The stairs to go the shower was so steep though but overall this place is a cute accommodation as it’s near many shops and restaurants. Definitely recommended
- Brodie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tenagy (8/5): Very good -
- Gunel (7/5): Good -
- Todd (9/5): Superb -
- Ivory (10/5): This place was awesome and I cannot wait to return!! - I loved everything about this place! I only stayed one night because of a layover but the instructions for checking in were very clear, the rooms were very clean and looked exactly like the pictures, and the common areas were very clean and looked nice!! Nothing! It was great!!
- Shingo (8/5): - Nice
- Gabriel (9/5): Superb - The staff for sure ! And the vibe
- Zheng (6/5): Pleasant - The bed was very cozy and dark so I was able to sleep like a log. The mattress was not very clean, but there were clean sheets to put on top of it. The stairs were very steep.
- Mathieu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simone (7/5): Good - Friendly staff Room was not ideal, 4 people should stay in a 2 person bed and couch pull out bed. Including suitcases/bags this would not have worked well i believe. Thankfully we were only with 3
- Verified traveler (10/5): - チェックインが遅くなりましたが丁寧に対応していただけました。
- Efpatridis (8/5): Perfect budget spot if you're backpacking or spending the night in the city! - Very close to major stations that connect to the main subway line and the Osaka loop. Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean!
- Rachel (4/5): Wouldn't recommend... - Property was in a good location and close to train lines. On arrival staff asleep in coffee shop. Wasn't explained the situation about sheets on bed so slept on brown sheets first night then realised I was meant to put white sheets over these. The property was run by travellers in exchange for free accommodation. It was not kept clean and the bare minimum of effort was put in between 5-6 staff. Dirty plates left in sink (by staff) noise made in the middle of the night also by the staff. Sinks smelt, dirty towels thrown on the floor of shower room most days, floor never cleaned, have to put own bed sheets on but most people didn't so likely sleeping in a bed where many others have slept in the sheet. The shared dorm was smelly and loud at night with people turning the light on and leaving it on all night. Moved into a smaller dorm a few days in which was much better and quieter. Fine if you're looking for a place to sleep, party and don't care about cleanliness. The staff are unaware of their presence and appearance and how it affects guests experience. Felt more like a frat house than a hostel.
- Laura (8/5): I stayed one month and the level of cleanliness varied from good to poor. The staff was very nice, - The capsule type room was adequate and private. There are little fans you can use in you room to cool things off on humid days. The shared space in the room has air conditioning as well as the kitchen bathroom area and the bar area. The showers where excellent though not always providing towels. There is a terrace on the third floor that was nice to sit at on evenings and cooler days. The kitchen was just so-so as one of the people taking care of the hostel constantly left a huge mess that made it difficult for anyone to use the kitchen. The hostel is beginning to get a bit rundown because people do not clean it very well--just the minimum.
- Huyen (2/5): - AVOID STAYING HERE AT ALL COST. it was so unsanitary that i got BUG BITES, all over my body. me and my sister ended up cutting our stay after we found out we got bug bites. we found a cleaner hotel to stay at. we were on the third floor and they have super STEEP stairs for our luggage to go on our floor. we didnt even attempt to bring it up since we know we were going to get hurt trying to carry it upstairs. absolutely horrible.
- Yosef (9/5): Superb -
- Manami (4/5): - 100円でタオルをレンタルしたのですが、たぶん前回床でも拭いたのか、タオルがところどころ拭いた跡で真っ黒！ 持ってきてなかったので、まだマシな部分を使って拭いたのですが、予算が無いと思うので、このように汚いタオルは足拭きマットかなにかに利用して、レンタルタオルは100均ショップかなんかで買って用意しておいてくださるようお願い申し上げます。
- Verified traveler (6/5): 素泊まりだけなら旅慣れていたらok - 夜、他の宿泊客の声や荷物の音がうるさすぎる(部屋の外)、部屋の空調が寒く、あまり寝れない。タオルやドライヤーなど有料。チェックインは1階のカフェみたいなカウンター、外国人スタッフ対応だったが、良かった。他の口コミもあるが、駅から徒歩3分くらいでアクセスは良いが、場所が入り組んでわかりづらい。
- ルカ (6/5): - 場所がややこしい所にあって、着くまでが大変かもしれないけど、設備はしっかりしている。特にバスルームが良かったです。
- Eric (10/5): - Just what I needed
- Yasunari (10/5): - 普段味わえない感じのまるで海外に来たような気分になってワクワクしました！ 外国の方が多かったですけど皆さんフレンドリーに接していただいてとても楽しい時間を過ごせました！
- Adi (8/5): Quite far from the center but in a nice area. Very clean and pretty spacious. A lot of stairs. - Very nice place in Korea town. Not close to the center of Osaka but the train station is about 10 min walk. A lot of stairs so not recommended if u have a lot of luggage or not in shape. They have a nice common balcony and a nice little cafe/bar.
- HIDEKI (10/5): 近鉄鶴橋駅の出口からすぐ - ソファーつきのダブルルームに宿泊しました。広さも十分で安眠できました。ゲストハウスなれしてる人向けかもしれません。全体的に清潔で、とても快適でした。
- Magnus (9/5): Superb - Very nice interior design. It gave the hostel a professional and at the same time cozy feeling. But shout out the staff, Especially Eduardo! Really chill and helpful :)
- Kazuma (10/5): - カフェとして見つけてホテルとして利用しましたが、予約のミスをしてしまったのにも関わらず、迅速で丁寧な対応をしていただき、設備なども綺麗で大変満足致しました。 オススメの場所です。 次回はカフェとしても利用したいと思っています。 --- I discovered this place as a café but used it as a hotel. Despite a mistake with my reservation, the staff responded quickly and courteously. The facilities were clean, and I was very satisfied. I highly recommend this place. Next time, I would like to use it as a café as well.
- Kristopher (6/5): Nice - Nice location friendly staff No complaints about the property. Maybe one complaint about some guests being a little loud outside the dorm but nothing major
