6/10 Okay

The place is old.
Victor, 9-night trip

6/10 Okay

Just for a good night of sleep.
Newton, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very close to the tower and food, beds were confortable. Cons: no soap to wash hands in toilets, room smelled like moth balls
stephanie, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel room had stains on the wall and a tiny pillow that wasn’t greatly comfortable to use. The area is really good around it with immediate access to the subway line, and the free onsen is a nice plus, it is just the cleanliness thats the biggest issue I have. It’s good for what it is and especially the for the price.
Zak, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Always stay here when I come to Osaka. It’s cheap and sufficient. Close to everything you need to see in Osaka
Brendan, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

It is misleading to brand a hostel as a hotel
Yanding, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Cheapest place over japan
Dipak, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Is better than what I thought. They have individual showers in 3 floors and also you can take a shower in the onsen if you want. So it's a good place to stay for a pair of days.
Alexis, 15-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The only nice thing about this place is its proximity to the metro so you can find the next hotel. Found a cockroach in the room. You can hear everything going on in every room on your floor. The floors are nasty. Don't ruin your japan experience here
Jong Un, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Has a hot small pool called spa

No table in the room. Heater turned off after 20 minutes and I always had to remember to turn it back on.
Mark, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

Pros 1 You can stay multiple nights at a very reasonable price. 2 Convenient transportation Cons 1 The baths are switched between men's and women's depending on the time. 2 The toilet in the room is flushable but there is no hot water in the bathroom.
katsuhide, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

cheap and that’s what you get.

Excellent price compared to other places but if you’re not on a very tight budget I’d suggest staying elsewhere. The room was functional but everything had a poor cleanliness level. Bathrooms were a good bit of walk through the corridor and it was always very cold. Location was close to everything and if you stay in that area it’s worth going to Spaworld for an onsen experience.
Zahra, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

It's right in the heart of a great area, 10 seconds from the Debutsun Mae metro. Super affordable. Not the best AC, but survivable. Showers are fully stocked with a soap, shampoo and conditioner.
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good for the cost of stay in an old hotel. Room was clean, comfortable, quiet, with mini fridge, tv, self control remote heater ac, japan style comfortable futon on japanese straw mat floor. Bonus, 4 minutes walk to Spa World onsen.
TUNG KUEN, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff was friendly and there was a lot of information about the surrounding areas all over the hotel. I didn't give it full stars because the bathroom areas weren't that clean. That said, it's in a great area, next to a few train stations and a lot of shopping. It's worth it.
Brandon Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

It is a very low cost accommodation. The room is also well clean enough.
Kam Chuen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The location is good to transit many iconic locations by train. However I didn't find the room pleasant. The wooden furniture were chipped, small fridge exposed dusty wires, walls not even sound proof and was given a pillow made of beads to sleep.
Per Chuan Aloysius, 9-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel had lots of posters to suggest where to visit - traveller friendly. Not the cleanest
Hannah, 5-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This is a hostel that is calling itself a hotel. There was no shower in the room. The community showers were gross. We opted to shower at a nearby onsen instead. I had to unplug the tv to charge my cellphone bc there were no power outlets.

6/10 Okay

A little bit dirty there but it is ok for single to live.
Chuen, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Rude staff , very dirty , very very dirty, very very very dirty
Pa, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This time I had a Japanese style tatami room, which I found even more comfortable than the Western style room with a bed, but that's just my personal preference
Wentian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a perfect place for real backpackers and is the most affordable option in osaka. I can’t believe the negative reviews. Who pays so little and then writes a bad review for this place. It came with everything a person needs for an affordable price. Shampoo soap towels private showers sheets pillow and privacy many hotels dont even have these things. For the price id say 10/10
Steven, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Not worth the price, nothing like the pictures.

Actually, I just wanted to find a cheap room to take a short nap while waiting for my friend’s flight. In the photos, the room looked very nice, but in reality, it was totally different. The room was small, scary-looking, quite dirty, and dusty—as if it had never been cleaned. There were only a few shared bathrooms per floor (and only a few floors had showers, though I didn’t use them). When I saw the room, I was like, "What is this? 7,000 yen for this?" I couldn’t sleep at all—I kept hearing snoring from the room next door the whole time. When my partner went to the bathroom, I had to keep the door open and watch because the atmosphere felt really unsafe. There weren’t even any security cameras. In the end, I stayed for just over an hour and checked out. I figured it’d be better to wait for my friend at a late-night bar instead.

2/10 Terrible

Its the absolute worst, a crumbling piece of garbage that should be set on fire.
