26 October 2011 Neil would recommend this property

Liked: I liked the location as the majority of major sights were within walking distance from the Hotel. The staff were really friendly and helped us out when tring to book things that were in Japanese. The showers were good, you had alot of room to change, only downside is that they were on the bottom floor.

Disliked: The beds were not the best, but what do you expect with a mat on the floor? Also we had the unlucky experience of finding a cockroach in the room. We told the staff and they gave us the stuff to kill and clear it out of the room. I think that should had been there job to be honest.

25 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The communal Japanese baths are great, the traditional room is basic but clean. Easy to get to on the Midosuji line.

Disliked: Slightly dated, but this wasn't really an issue as everything was well kept. 'Western style' toilets were only on the ground floor.

Disliked: Bath timings

05 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Got more than I expected for little money. Wireless, onsen, robe, TV, fridge - when all I thought I'd get for $20 was a bed and sheets. Also really close to subway, JR lines, and Nankai Namba lines means plenty of options for transit.

Disliked: Neighborhood is more industrial. Didn't feel as clean as other areas of Osaka I had visited.

Liked: Was fairly cheap...staff always helpful, and its right next to the metro station.

Disliked: not really clean, the communal bath was pretty rubbish looking. Our room smelt really bad. its in a pretty grotty area of Osaka...lacks a communal area. wouldnt stay here again or recommend it to anyone...and ive stayed in a lot of hostels...im sure there are better ones than this.

Liked: Very cheap! When we got to our room I was very suprised for the facilities; yukata, toothbrush, two towels and a TV. Room was also spacious and clean. The are is a bit ruff but it's a easy access to rest of Osaka. Staff was super helpful. Luggage room was very secure. And they do not have a curfew even tho it says so in this page. If the unisex toilets bothers, there's ladies toilet in the 9th floor. Overall great experience.

Disliked: The fact that they don't have private showers was a bit funky. But there's was a hotel nearby where you could use a private shower.
