• Estelle0177 (10/5): - Logement parfait, sachant que je voyageais seul pour la première fois. Le lit, les douches etc étaient propres et je n'aurais pas demandé plus. L'accès à la cuisine était aussi très agréable pour me poser après une journée de visite ou prendre un petit déjeuner. L'établissement est situé assez proche d'une station de métro, donc c'était très simple de visiter la ville. Je recommande !
• Eu Woi (10/5): -
• CHIA NING (9/5): 性價比高，離機場近 - 房間很大，住宅區裡和安靜 雖然是住宅區，但晚上不知道是員工還是長住客，雖然有關一樓通往二樓的門，但過11點後聲音還是偏大

• zhicheng (10/5): 很舒服的入住体验，跟staff们聊天很开心 - 非常干净舒适
• ゴーブル (10/5): 体験 - ドミトリー内にシャワーとトイレがある。 特になし
• Colleen (10/5): Would definitely stay here again! - Arrived early and was able to leave my luggage there until check in. They messaged me reminders day of to check in before reception closed. Check in was quick and easy. Stayed in the female dorm. The bed was quite comfy. I slept great! Each bed has a curtain, small lamp, and outlets. Room is quite spacious. In the room were 2 sinks, a toilet, and shower. I didn't usually use the shower in the room (noise) and instead used the one on the first floor. Shower stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. People working there were nice. Other guests were nice. Saw on the calendar that there are takoyaki nights every Saturday but I did also miss this. No issues with wifi. Saw a dog napping once so that's cool. Small kitchen is well stocked with anything you should need. There were 2 kotatsus upstairs that seemed like a nice place to relax. Unfortunately never found myself in the hostel long enough to do so. Location was on a quiet side street. Easy to walk to a station. Very close to plenty of grocery and convenience stores. Convenient laundry next door. Was about 200 yen for a wash and 100 yen per 12 minutes of drying if I recall correctly. I stayed on the second floor but there was also a 3rd. It was OK for me. But for anyone opposed to stairs or with heavy luggage, that's just something to note. Towels are not included so if you need one you would need to rent. I prefer when they are included but the fee isn't bad. And in this case I did have my own.

• Youhei (8/5): -
• David (10/5): - Staff is always super friendly, place is clean and well equipped, plenty of common space to hang out with your friends in or to wait for new people to show up to make friends with! Konbini around the corner, little local restaurants and izakaya all around it, few minutes walk from Hanazonocho station for easy access into the city. Always a great option in Osaka. Can't think of any downsides

• Enkhbileg (10/5): - 思っていたよりもとても快適で、設備もすべて問題なく使えて、とても清潔でした。 とても可愛い犬がいて、散歩に連れて行けたのが良かったです。 ぜひまた泊まりたいと思いますし、天下茶屋駅から徒歩5分なのも便利でした

• KARIN (7/5): 安さ重視ならおすすめ - わんちゃんがかわいい、チェックインと同時に足にすり寄ってくれて癒された。 部屋が分からずオーナーさん？に聞きに行ったらすごく笑顔で答えてくれた。優しかったです。 部屋が女性専用で良かった。 ほぼ外国の方で日本語が通じなくて困ったけどお風呂次どうぞってわざわざノックして教えてくれた、すごくいい人だった 門限がないのすごくいい トイレとお風呂と洗面所はせめて部屋の外にして欲しかったなーという感想 だから安いんだろうけど生活音で夜中に何度も目が覚めた 髪の毛乾かすのも周りの人に気を使うので気にしいな人はちょっと大変かもです ベッドのカーテンちょっとの隙間が気になる 枕が高くて硬いので低くして欲しかった
• Sumire (7/5): - 外国人が多くフレンドリー
• Ангелина Мосягина (7/5): - It's a fairly good place for a one night stay or so, but everything was quite old, smelly and used up, and the bed wasn't comfortable enough. However, they have a nice lounge area and surprisingly good shampoo and hair conditioning in bathrooms.
• Jie Yun (8/5): I’m enjoy the stay in Guest House Matsu. The location is convenient, near the Tengachaya station. This area is quite, no - Location Security
• Shannon Ann (10/5): -
• Ignacio (6/5): -
• Lynn (8/5): - Beds and duvet were really comfortable, showers had pretty fast working water heaters and main toiletries were provided. Shared areas were cosy and peaceful! Lawson/Family Mart/drink vending machines are all nearby, and the location itself is just 2 stations away from Dotonbori/Amerikamura area. Tofu the dog was really cute too of course!! (take note theyre only out in the afternoons, morning if youre lucky!)

• Matthieu (9/5): tres bon séjour - Auberge de jeunesse familiale confortable située dans un quartier calme légèrement excentrée par rapport a la gare d'Osaka mais tres facile d'acces avec le metro qui est situé à une centaine de metre

• Chen-Hung (8/5): -
• KIM SONG (9/5): Good stay in Japan - Very clean Nil
• sang min (8/5): - 직원들이 친절하고 1층에 테이블이있어 새로운사람들과 친해지기 좋았습니다 엘리베이터가 없어 짐이많다면 짐올리기가 불편했을거 같습니다

• Emmy (10/5): Very nice stay! - At the guesthouse the staff are very kind and often join conversations. which is very fun! they also have takoyaki party on Saturday's[which i couldn't join unfortunately during my trip] but if you like that, absolutely recommending a stay here. dorms are cleaned daily. also very cute dog Tofu-chan!! 💕 fellow room members of the female dormitory had their suitcases all open on the floor. and/or stuff left at the sink. during the night it's hard to navigate through the room towards the toilet.. the room was completely full of stuff.. that's the only thing. the coat rack was completely filled with everyone's extra clothes and filled with all kinds of stuff like personal belongings... aside from that, nothing else.

• 婉禎 (10/5): 很棒的旅館。 公共空間，在3樓有暖桌可以舒服划手機，1樓有廚房，交誼廳可以使用。還有一隻超可愛的柴犬。 同一房間旅客們很有禮貌，都保持安靜的空間。 頂樓還有超大曬衣空間，可以手洗衣物拿上去曬。 店家也很友善，下次來大阪還是會再選擇再住一次。 -
• 婉禎 (10/5): -
• Amel (9/5): Convenient accomodation and nice people! - Provided rooms for social interactions, 24/7 showering options, towel rental, cute Shiba dog, several restrooms on every floor, staff was friendly and open for some chatting The only shower available all the times was on the first floor, so you had to go all the way down to take a shower during the rest period (which starts quite late at 23:30 though)
• Sewmini (10/5): -
• Kristen (9/5): -
• LEIHUAN (7/5): 还行吧 - 干净卫生 10点以后还有嘈杂声
• Rose (9/5): -
• nadia (9/5): - The property is conveniently located near the station, konbini, and plenty of restaurants, and it’s very easy to find. Getting around was super convenient. The guesthouse staff are also really nice and helpful, which made the stay more pleasant overall. I’d definitely recommend it! 😊 It’s not really the guesthouse itself, but more the people I’m sharing the room with. The doors are pretty heavy, so when they don’t close them properly, they tend to make a sound which can be a bit tough if you’re a light sleeper.
• SULEI (9/5): 好 - 狗狗很可愛，房間空間比較大，床睡得舒服。離地鐵步行過來也很近，附近是安靜的居民區。在萬博期間能找到這樣一間高性價比的旅舍非常難得。 床底放不進行李箱，只能放在房間中間（還好房間夠寬）。沒有儲物櫃可以收納小包。

• Jerrica (10/5): - Great location, quiet area but near the metro. The dog was super cute, and I liked that I got to meet a lot of fellow travelers.
• Ling Erh (9/5): 第一天到達機場約6點多，因為旅客很多，搭上車已經7:46，原本以為時間充裕，但是因為不熟轉車，所以到的時候已經將近9:00，差點超過時間，建議要入住的旅客，要訂早一點的班機 - 交通便利，附近有lawsown，房間有暖氣 因為是住女生宿舍上下舖，所以睡眠品質會受影響

• Sebastian (9/5): Cool small hostel to chill and recharge - Modern and friendly hostel with the resident shiba (so cute). Staff was friendly and chatty, and many people hanged out in the common spaces. Vending machine selling beer surely helps to keep the mood up :) It is a bit far from the centre of Osaka, but well connected. There is not lift and the staircase is quite narrow, so it can be a problem for some. My bed lamp was missing ;(
• Pedro (8/5): - El chico que trabajaba ahí era muy agradable y tuvimos buenas conversaciones. Al ser japones y hablar inglés me puedo explicar muchas cosas sobre el país.. la zona donde está ubicado me gusto mucho, lejos del Kaos del centro y en un barrio tranquilo y más auténtico, sin turistas. En general todo bien pero el hecho de tener los lavabos, secador de pelo etc en la habitación lo hizo un poco molesto y ruidoso.. la habitación era mixta y dos chicas estuvieron haciendo ruido durante una hora muy pronto por la mañana para arreglarse , siendo imposible dormir..
• BB (5/5): Would Not Recommend - NOT the usual Japan hostels you expect. - Would Not Recommend I traveled solo in Japan for over three weeks in Nov/Dec and stayed in 7 different hostels/guest houses across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. I enjoyed all of them except this one, so it stood out as the only disappointment, and I’m honestly not sure how it received an 8+ rating on Booking. ---Facilities & Cleanliness The facilities feel older, and the overall cleanliness is noticeably below the standard I experienced at other hostels in Japan. The atmosphere reminded me more of Southeast Asian–style hostels/guesthouses than the very clean, well-maintained Japan hostels I stayed in during this same trip. There was also a noticeable, not-so-pleasant smell when I first walked in—this was the only hostel on my trip where that happened. The slippers didn’t feel clean. The bunk bed was shaky and squeaky, and the curtains only covered the longer sides of the bed in two separate pieces, so light leaked in from the top, sides, and between the panels. Privacy and darkness were both affected. For the shorter sides of the bed, there were only black cardboard pieces that weren’t fixed securely. The room was also cold—indoors didn’t feel much warmer than outdoors, and I had trouble sleeping because of it. ---Staff Check-in is required before 9 PM, which is earlier than most places I stayed. There’s also no check-out process because reception is only open from 9 AM to 9 PM—this is clearly stated on the information sheet given at check-in. ---Noise Even though it’s not next to a main road, I could clearly hear engine sounds late at night (around 11 PM–2 AM), along with guests talking and possibly playing games in the Level 1 common area. A dog was also barking around 8–9 AM. ---Location About an 8–15 minute walk to the nearest train stations. ---Value for Money Not great compared to other options. If you’re mainly looking for a social environment, don’t mind some noise, and aren’t particular about having typical Japan-style cleanliness and quietness, this place might still work for you. But there are definitely better-value hostels available.

• Milan (9/5): -
• laurie (5/5): - The location is not convenient. Prepare your earplugs if you don't want to hear your neighbour's conversation (walls are very thin). It would have been nice if the free tea advertised existed (but the lack of it did not seem to bother them).
• Nikki (9/5): Great stay - Had a great 2 night stay here. Staff and other guests were really friendly which was so nice. I always found someone sitting in the kitchen/work area when I walked in so just had a nice sociable atmosphere all the time - but not overwhelmingly - just the perfect amount :) If you are looking for a friendly vibe id really recommend it. Kitchen area was good too.

• Lee (8/5): Wonderful place to stay at if you traveling alone - This was a wonderful place to stay at because the staff here was really nice and helpful. There a station about 5 min away and close to a Lawson so it was really convenient. The bed was really clean and organize, so it was easy to find. There no much down side to this place but the biggest one would possible be the space for luggage there not really a spot to call your own, kind of put with everyone else and trust. Also at the time was there a couple of the rest room was closed but it didnt really cause a problem but could.
• Mark (9/5): Loved my stay here and extended it twice, as it was the perfect location for me to explore Osaka. - Great relaxed atmosphere & conversation with travellers from around the world. Clean facilities and close to train station and bus lines in Osaka. Staff are friendly and helpful. No fresh air (windows don’t open) in Dorms so they can become a little closed in. If that could be changed it would be perfect.

• Bibo Lin (8/5): The good outweighs the bad. - 1. Osaka Metro and supermarket are in walkable distance. 2. Cookware is well equipped. 3. The staff here really give guests their space, but they are always happy to help when needed. 4. The restrooms and shower rooms are very clean and dry. 1. You can hear a lot of noise from the road outside. 2. Although there's a notice against using hairdryers late at night, not many guests follow the rule. The noise was loud enough to wake me up even with earplugs. 3. The tables and chairs in the common area are often left with food crumbs and greasy stains.
