Traditional Japanese room was a fascinating experience. English breakfast is 3 pieces of toast plus a hot drink, not a cooked breakfast as the term might mean in the UK. Overall a good stay

Great hostel in Osaka
Cheap affordable solution if you’re in Osaka. spacious beds and rooms, lots of amenities, Free basic breakfast, clean and easy access to a Subway station. Mattresses are a bit thin though, but that’s with most of the hostels in Japan.

6/10 Good

Close to the station
The hostel was near the station so it was easy to find but there are pros and cons this was my first rime staying at a hostel so I didn't have any expectations but still ... Pro - The staffs were nice and even asked me which language I prefer or if I need any help around the city - a lot facilities that you can use - fast wi-fi - I didn't know there was a free breakfast (although it was a light meal I appreciate the effort) - the location was in Higobashi which is a walking distance (one stop by subway) to Nishi-Umeda and Osaka station Cons: -when I got to my room, the room has quite a distinct smell to it. (Maybe because it was a mixed room ) - the other guests where quite loud inside the dormitory talking loud and talking on their phones - I often wake up in the middle of the night due to coldness because some guest put the AC at max temperature - you can hear other guest snore because you are basically only separated with a curtain - i was in 4th floor and my area is a bit dirty I don't think they clean it often because when I came in the 3rd floor the toilet was clean and the shower room has lots of space - I wish the shower room has trash can and a place where you can put your things. I was struggling with my stuff because i didn't knowwhere to put it - the biggest con was the bed itself. It was very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep much.

Stayed in the Wah room, which was perfect for a family of 5. Very spacious. The shared amenities were clean & always available. The indoor garden provided a pleasant distraction. The cafe was very good & reasonably priced. The location was very convenient to transport & the cafes & restaurants nearby were excellent.
