Staff is the BEST . Special place...

Felt like home, the little touches like snacks and skincare really make a difference. Bed was very comfy and the owner was welcoming. Cheap luggage storage for the following week or longer if you need to leave your bags.

Very cosy atmosphere, excellent tea selection in the common area. Ken-san was helpful and accommodating. The neighborhood is calm and quiet, great to return to after an intense day of sightseeing. Overall, super happy with the place. Less lucky with a snoring roommate but well, happens :)

The location is not near to public transportation.

The traditional Japanese home makes it a good local experience. The host is nice.

Not the most happening neighborhood

The manager is very friendly, and everything is labelled very nicely. Comfortable beds, and spacious rooms.

the location is away from the chaos of the city , which is nice to my standards, the transportation from the hostel might take longer at times but still decent. the hostel feels more like a home and calm vibes.

It’s great for plant lovers there are a lot of plants around the reception counter that the owner tends for by themselves. And the entire house just feels homey, like a properly lived-in place. I was only there for a night and left very early in the morning but it was quiet, comfortable, and warm. There are quite a lot of group travelers there and they are given the living room downstairs to lounge and chat even until the evening. Which is very helpful so they don’t move the conversation to the bedroom.

Very relaxing and low key space in a local neighbourhood.

Nothing, everything was amazing.

This is amazing hostel. Highly recommend it. Ken (owner) is amazing. He built this place by himself and you can tell he really cares about the place. There is Family Mart 2 blocks away, lot of Vietnamese and other ethnic foods restaurants nearby. Ken also has guides, highly recommended you use it. One of the best hostel i ever stayed in.

Everything was perfect.

I loved the interior design of the hostel. It was quiet, the bed was comfy and the WiFi was excellent so that I was able to do some work on my PC. The owner is super kind and he let me use the common area and shower before check-in time as I arrived early to Osaka by night bus.

It wasn't available my second night so I had to check out! Certainly my fault for not planning ahead as this place is outstanding

Everything was great. Common room was spacious but social. Kitchen was big. Enough showers, sinks, toilets. Beds were clean, comfortable

There were not many things that I did not like, it was a really great experience! The one thing is that even though the hostel is close to one Namba station entrance, it only has stairs. So, if you are coming with luggage, be prepared to walk a little farther for an elevator/escalator.

I didn't end up eating breakfast at the hostel, but there were a lot of cafes around us that I could have gone to. The area was really good in this aspect!

Nothing

Very detail of this hostel is excellent, and it can be one of the cleanest hostels that I've stayed! Host Ken was super nice and helpful. There are plenty of Muji amenities available. Location can be a little far from CBD but the train station is within 7mins walk.

Nothing at all

This was my favorite hostel in Japan!! So clean and cozy and Ken the owner is fantastic!! So helpful and friendly!

It is already an extra amenity to have towels in a hostel. And this is just my preference. It would be great to add a few drops of fabric softener to the towels so they could be less abrasive on the skin.

Ken-san was very flexible and accommodating. I took the night bus from Tokyo and had a 10am appointment the day I arrive in Osaka. I wanted a proper bath before this, and a place to leave my luggage. I couldn't check in yet, but he considered my situation and permitted me to use the common facilities. I could've booked a 3-star hotel or an apartment advertised affordably, but I'm glad I chose this place. The room was also spacious, and the futon comfortable for a good sleep. I especially love the "Cow Road" yakiniku place, nearby, an unassuming shop manned by a couple. The wagyu was soooo good for the price. There were also two train stations nearby (7 minute and 15 minute walk). He also had all the extra amenities that even business hotels won't have, like hair straightener, band-aid (for walking a lot), Muji face and bath products, etc. I also liked the small details of the place interiors like the Chinoiserie design sink, the industrial feels coffee cup wall, etc.

Best hostel I've stayed in Japan, felt like being at home, super clean and charming, very nice and authentic neighborhood. I recommend this place 💯

Nothing really, location is not 'ideal' but it is great it is do-able with a train station nearby.

The Hospitality and the hangout place.

Lovely place and host ! It's a bit far from the center, but the area is really calm.

Quirky, comfortable hostel located in a quiet suburb of Osaka. It has good subway and train access to all the main attractions - I was able to get to Dontonbori, USJ, Nara, Mt Kongo without any hassles. The owner, Ken, is a friendly and welcoming host. He also has some great recommendations for local restaurants, there are quite a few hidden gems in the area! I would stay here again for sure.
