혼자서 이용해서 그런지 아늑하고 아담한 민박집 같음 화장실과 욕실이 하나라 여러사람이 숙박하면 아침에 불편 할 수도 있음
일본 느낌이 나는 게스트 하우스 였고 쥔장 친절함 지하철까지 가려면 15 분정도 운동삼아 걸어가야함 난방기 잘 작동하였고 편안하게 지내다 옴

Great experience
Staying in Shin-Osaka Backpacker's Hostel was a great experience. The place is perfect for backpackers; a kitchen, a small living room and a restroom are shared. We had a traditional room with futons. It was clean and nice, just like the common areas. The keeper was very helpful and there was a grocery store near the hostel. Two minorities were thin walls (everything, including noise of the planes can be heard) and location. The place is quite far away from the city centre but luckily there is a subway station nearby. It takes about 15 min to get to Namba station where all the central places are located.
We had to find a place on the very night of our stay since we missed the shinkansen to go back to Tokyo! This tiny hostel is kinda far from Shin-Osaka Station, especially with all the luggage we had to carry, but we were warmly welcomed. It was a bit like a maze inside, which I personally liked (it had a lot of character and our stop there made for a fun bit of adventure to tell!). We slept soundly: the place was very clean, the shower's water was hot, the room was even kinda spacious for japanese accomodation standards! And, most important of all... the beds were extra comfy! Thank you!

Great place, close to metro, INCREDIBLE HOST!!
The house is in a kind of traditional Japanese style with sliding doors, a nice high-tech toilet, and comfortable showers. There is also a kitchen and a living room that can be during the day. Kei, the host, is always available if you need him. He was extremely accommodating. On our way to his place, we had lost our phone on the subway. He immediately took down a detailed account of what happened and advised us on what to do. The next day, he made a call to the subway station on our behalf (we don't speak Japanese) and over the course of the next couple days, gave us continuous updates on the situation. He finally tracked down the phone to a lost and found office in a particular metro station in the city where we went and picked it up! We thought we had lost it for good! Would definitely stay here again, no question.

Lovely little hostel
My brother and I stayed here for 3/4 nights at the end of February. It is extremely welcoming, the staff were super friendly. At this point of the trip we were trying to save some money, this place was perfect for this as it had good kitchen facilities and a big supermarket close by. There was also a launderette around the corner. Although not super close to transport, the metro was under a 10 minute walk away and Shin-Osaka train station about 15 minutes. This was perfect for us as we had already visited Osaka earlier in our trip and used this place as a base to go out to different cities from Shin-Osaka station everyday. It worked out perfectly. Would highly recommend, for a cosy, homely feeling place.

조용하고 편안함
니시나카지마 미나미가타역 2번출구로나와서 약 10분?정도 걸어야하는 거리에있습니다
주변이 조용하고 객실도 많은편이아니라 편하게지내다 왔습니다
건물은 그렇게 크지않지만 객실크기는 작지않았고 깨끗했습니다
게스트 하우스는 처음이라 많이 불편할거라 생각했지만 편안했고, 사장님도 친절하고 여러가지 이야기도 할수있어서 즐거웠습니다
또 오사카에 가게되면 예약하겠습니다.

Friendly Hostel
The staff are so friendly! If you want the experience of staying in a Japanese house, as opposed to a hotel or a capsule hotel, this is a great place. The beds were comfortable (they have futons too, which I would have preferred, but I booked late). They also had a communal basket of shampoo and soaps as well as towels, which is always a plus in hostels. I wish we were staying longer. This is a great hostel if you just need a place to stay (not a full scale hotel) as you are passing through or sightseeing in Osaka. I usually stay in business hotels, but opted for this hostel during a transfer through Osaka since it was cheaper. Just a heads up, it is a bit of a walk from Shin Osaka (NOT the same thing as Osaka station), so having directions printed out (or on your phone) is helpful. We took a cab (about 1000 yen from Shin Osaka) simply because it was late and we were lazy, but the walk back to the station in the morning was easy.

This is a very nice place, highly recommended, I would return. Nice hostel with traditional feel. I was afraid of the location, in fact I'm very happy I choose to stay in Shin-Osaka, very convenient to travel anywhere within Osaka and transfer to Kyoto or Kobe.

역과 편의점이 가깝고 조용했던 최적의장소!
사장님도 정말정말정말 친절하시고 숙소도 조용하고 도란도란 이야기하기 정말 편했었습니다! 쾌적하고 생각보다 넓어서 편안한 여행이 되었습니다. 가까운 곳에 편의점이 2개나 있고 드럭스토어도 2개정도 있었습니다. 신오사카역보다는 니시나카지마 미나미가타역에서 미도스지선타고 우메다나 난바역으로 많이움직였는데 위치도 너무 좋았습니다. 자전거 대여도 가능하고 사장님이 지도도 챙겨주시고 정말 친절하셨습니다. 다음에 오사카여행을 한번 더하게 된다면 백패커스 호스텔 에 다시한번 가고 싶습니다 :)
