Liked: The owner was very nice and offered a lot of help. The atmosphere was nice and the location was good, near Shinsaibashi and Namba.

Disliked: it was a bit hard to find and the stairs were quite steep, but it was worth staying there.

Liked: Nau the lady who owns the place, was very nice and met me from the station to take me there as it's very hard to find.

Disliked: Top floor of a lot of very steep stairs, bathroom/shower door didn't lock, no-one else there to meet people. No real common area.

Liked: The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, giving us advice, maps, and generally being an excellent host. One of the long term guests there was also very friendly and came to help us find the guest house. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Osaka, it's in a great location near all the action, but away from the noise.

Disliked: There were fairly steep stepos which might be difficult for anyone with heavy luggage, but the owner brought our bags up so it can't really be complained about!

Liked: It seems JUST ok.

Disliked: This place desn't have map, it show google map. BUT it seems more difficult then just hand drawing. So, I ask the place so many times people on the street, police man ext.. ... finally get there after police station!! If can find this place easily, it might good to stay. Cheap! Oh! you must have THE ADDRESS always. there is no sign.

Liked: The people here were some of the kindest we had met for our trip, they were genuinely really helpful and generous. We would definietly recommend a stay here, it was conveniently located to the station, very near lots of good restaurants and near enough to the tourist area that you can walk to it in a few minutes, but you can still get a wonderfully peaceful and comfortable sleep.I wish we could have spent more time here as it was a lovely family run guest house.

Disliked: Roberta left no negative feedback.

Liked: It is really close to shinsaibashi & dotonbori, as well its a good place to stay for ladies (ladies only hostel). The only concern is there are quite a lot of stairs (pretty steep too) so it could be a hectic. Overall, its a quiet place to live in for a really low price.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
