The rooms were decent. And the stairs are really steep. And the bathroom situation can be a headache.

I loved the location and the staff. the beds were very nice as well, my only complaint is the ladder to get to the bunkbeds, having 2 ladders for 4 beds was uncomfortable.

AVOID STAYING HERE AT ALL COST. it was so unsanitary that i got BUG BITES, all over my body. me and my sister ended up cutting our stay after we found out we got bug bites. we found a cleaner hotel to stay at. we were on the third floor and they have super STEEP stairs for our luggage to go on our floor. we didnt even attempt to bring it up since we know we were going to get hurt trying to carry it upstairs. absolutely horrible.

Nice and very affordable.
Small but comfy bed. Nice staff. Got nice recommendations of where to go in Osaka. I enjoyed my stay, and I might come back specially because it's very close to the train station.

泊まるだけなら特に問題はないけど、周辺にコンビニとかないから必要なものは買ってから向かったほうが良い。
スタッフの方は全く日本語話せないっぽいから英語全く話せない人は翻訳アプリ使った方がいい。

やはり共同部屋ということもあって、騒音が気になりました。万博の帰りに泊まったので、疲れて21時過ぎに寝てしまいましたが、夜中2時ぐらいまで人の出入りがあって、その都度廊下の明かりが気になり、人の話し声も気になりました。ベッドも大して掃除もされてなくて、シャワールームももう少し掃除した方が良いと思います。洗面所も誰かの髭剃りの後が残ってたら、共同キッチンにも誰かの食べ残したお皿などがシンクに置かれていました。単に寝るだけで利用しましたが、最低限のところがかなり汚く感じました。人が泊まる施設なので、もう少し掃除はしてもらった方が良いかと思います。あの施設で二人で14000円は正直高く感じました。

便宜但還好

房間衛生很一般,廁所及浴室還可以
雖然有獨立房間,但是隔音跟沒有一樣
隔壁住客稍為講話大聲一點,就很被打擾
從鐵路走到民宿的路也不好走
唯一優點是比較便宜?但如果不差這個錢,真的不推

100円でタオルをレンタルしたのですが、たぶん前回床でも拭いたのか、タオルがところどころ拭いた跡で真っ黒!
持ってきてなかったので、まだマシな部分を使って拭いたのですが、予算が無いと思うので、このように汚いタオルは足拭きマットかなにかに利用して、レンタルタオルは100均ショップかなんかで買って用意しておいてくださるようお願い申し上げます。

素泊まりだけなら旅慣れていたらok

夜、他の宿泊客の声や荷物の音がうるさすぎる(部屋の外)、部屋の空調が寒く、あまり寝れない。タオルやドライヤーなど有料。チェックインは1階のカフェみたいなカウンター、外国人スタッフ対応だったが、良かった。他の口コミもあるが、駅から徒歩3分くらいでアクセスは良いが、場所が入り組んでわかりづらい。
