    A small yet very charming and great hostel. The fact that it has fewer beds makes it much easier to make friends and talk to other guests than at bigger hostels. You get a free drink at their bar per night you stay!!

    Yoshi and Pedro are all star staff members. Made this the best hostel stay of my life. There is a reason this place has the highest reviews we have ever seen for a hostel. Without a doubt, choose to stay here in Osaka.
