A great stay!
I had a wonderful stay. The facility was very clean and they had good quality shampoo, conditioner & body wash! If only they have a bigger common area with a kitchen.... but it’s ok for a short stay. Front desk staff were super nice. I would definitely be back!

Great stay and close proximity to attractions
The place has been maintained well and bathroom facilities are clean and sleeping area is good. Though does require some more ventilation as it can get quite warm with the amount of people in the dorm.
Lockers are small so only fits your phone and wallet. They’re also limited.
Close to some great attractions like a walk down to the markets where you can enjoy great seafood for lunch and Dotombori with the glico man for dinner.

Hostel nearby everything
Had a great time here! The staff will make you feel like home. They are friendly and helpful. The room and washroom are very clean. The only downside is you can hear other people, but ear plugs are provided.

Good for the price
This hostel is cheap, but you get what you pay for. It has a good location, close to both Namba and the subway line.
The WiFi in the room was low at best, none existing at worst. They even suggest using the public city's WiFi because it is sometimes better than their own.
The safety lockers were a joke. Can barely fit a wallet, they are so small.
They should have a separate area where people can get stuff into/ out of their bags, as the noise of people leaving early in the morning packing up all their things is very disruptive.
