Liked: Excellent location, not far from Nanba, and on the loop line, just next to Shin Imamiya station. It's convenient, easy access to whole of Osaka. Has a Japanese baths, and the front desk being staffed 24/7 is good. Very secure.Rooms have a TV and fridge, and the beds are comfy, rooms have air conditioning. Has wifi internet connection, plus they had a car park (which I got charged a little for).

Disliked: It's a typical low end business hotel, not a hostel, so don't expect to meet anyone except in the mornings. The pictures on the bookers page don't quite meet up with the reality. There are no showers except on the ground floor and they are basic (not great when you are on the 8th floor); the place needs a good lick of paint as it looks like it hasn't been decorated since the 70's. The rooms are basic, and there are no cooking facilities except for a microwave in the corridor next to the lifts (though you should be heading out to Nanba for food anyway). Next door is its sister hotel, Chuo Celeste, it's a little bit more a night, but it has ensuite and is a much better looking place, I'd have been in there like a shot if I'd known about it. The area it's in isn't the nicest looking, though to be fair it is central. You're paying for the location, not the atmosphere.

19 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: good for the price we can stay a long time without paying so much

Disliked: The climatisation in my room was bad and its in japanese so I couldn't understand how to use it.

05 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent transport links (literally right outside the door are entrances to the Subway and JR), great value for money considering you get a private room, and plenty of facilities like free internet, TV, air con and a fridge in the room.

Disliked: The rooms weren't very soundproof, and let in a lot of noise from outside as though my window was open - not good seeing a railway is nearby. But it's not that bad. There are only showers on the ground floor, and they're timed between men and women even though there are two private showers: why not one for women and one for men?

24 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very good location, especially for JR passes holders, friendly staff, rooms equiped in air-con.

Disliked: The showers and toillets are very, very dirty. It seems they do not clean them every day.

13 July 2010 Alana would recommend this property

Liked: I was very happy about how close it was to public transport, it was super easy to get around. It was a very easy hostel to find, even at 11pm in a city which you are not familiar with.

13 June 2010 Alex would recommend this property

Liked: There are loads of similar hostel/ hotels around the shin-imamiya station area. The location is excellent - very close to spa world and the station (Osaka loop line)! The showers were much better than hotel mikiado in that there were 2 private (western style) showers on the lobby floor. There were also 3 comunal showers in the hot bath area where u sit butt naked on a stool and shower japanese style (as with all the hostels here!!). This comunal shower had separate times for men and women. Altogether an interesting experience.3 computers downstairs for use with drinking water. - Again the main highlight is the excellent location (if you have a JR pass or want to go to spa world).

29 May 2010 Christina would recommend this property

Liked: Pros: great value, one of the cheapest places in Osaka, good location by rail and walking distance to Namba, free Internet. Cons: only 3 showers for entire hotel, very dirty showers (dead bugs on ceilings), located beside a mission, not a lot to offer in terms of facilities. You get what you pay for!

31 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Big twin-tatami room but the matress wasn't confortable at all. The Cleanliness could be improved. Good location but many homeless and drunked people arround the neibourghood, otherwise it wasn't dangerous.

24 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Really easy to find. Room was perfect for the price. Staff does speak a bit of English. They say they ahve internet in the rooms, but I wasnt able to connect which really sucked. Could have been my comp as there was wireless just slow so maybe you have to go down to the first floor to use it since the walls are cement...Really nice place though!! Will stay here again when I come to Osaka

03 January 2010 Antonio would recommend this property

Liked: For the price, I really can't think of a better place. It's really basic, but it's clean and really close to everything. Shin-Imamiya on the JR line is right there, and it's a great link to everything.
