I was given a single room as requested but I asked to move as the noise from the hallway was just too bad. The door didn’t close well and I could hear the people in the hallway incredibly well to the point it sounded as it there wasn’t even a door in the way. The room was also unfinished and had wires hanging out of the ceiling. When I got moved into a dormitory room it was like being moved into a different hostel. The room was clean and quiet. A really upgrade! A fantastic hostel for groups. Not so much for solo travellers unless you have no problem with noise. I really hope they manage to fix the issues for solo travellers.
This was actually my and my bf first hostel experience and we were a bit apprehensive but it was awesome. Our flight arrived late and the owner was nice to stay open until we arrived! Helped us carry our heavy luggage! We were only there for 2 nights. We had a private room with twin beds. Our room had our own heater as it was cold in January. We even had a area to hang outside with a sink but it was chilly. I think there were toilets on every floor. They were very clean, as were the showers. The shared kitchen was great with free water and coffee and space in the fridge to store your food if you needed. One thing we were afraid of was maybe ppl being too loud but it was quiet. Overall it was an amazing experience. The area was great too. Donki and a bunch of conbini nearby open 24 hrs. A Daiso down the street. Tennoji zoo, Abeno Harukas and Abeno Q, Shinsekai, Keitakuen Gardens, Tenshiba Park, Osaka City Museum nearby. Lots of fun things to do. Many train stations nearby too. Easy to get around! Also got to experience a festival nearby and ate delicious street food! I highly recommend staying here! I would love to stay here again.
