The kitchen and dining area were fully equipped, and breakfast was included. Even though it's geared to quieter travelers, we still met people from all over. Recommended for a pleasant stay.”
9.1Verified guest“Stayed a week while exploring Osaka. A few minutes' walk to the metro, spotlessly clean from dorm to bathroom. Staff, especially Yuki and Mike, were extremely friendly and helpful. Great value for a solo traveler. The common area was perfect for meeting people, and breakfast set me up for the day.”
9.1Verified guest“The female dorm was clean and nice, with storage under the beds and curtains for privacy. Showers and bathrooms were spotless. Hosts Yuki and Show were welcoming and helpful. Convenient for train stations and spots like Shinsekai and Dotonbori. The second-floor common room was great for relaxing, and the toast-and-jam breakfast was simple but good.”
