Exceeded expectations. Access to the property was very easy. Convenience stores 2-min walk, with larger shops and trains not much further. Room was very small but not too tight. Shower and laundry facilities very clean.

Me and my partner both really enjoyed this stay. Had everything we needed. Rooms and amenities were clean and well kept. Convenient location. The only down side was the bed was quite hard and only one small pillow. Other than that, great stay!

Room was decent. The toilet on the floor I stayed would benefit with a lock as people could walk in without realising it was in use. There is a urinal with a sink as you first enter this is not lockable then a separate toilet area which is lockable.
At times I found people outside unable to enter as it was out of hours for staff. This happened a number of times and must have been frustrating for those customers. There are instructions written in Japanese and English but after a long journey its not the best welcome.
The only other thing is they do not change the bedding unless requested and i think (i could be wrong) but only after 5 days. I went at a time it was a heatwave. And had to ask for additional towels during my stay which should be complimentary. After 3 fresh towels you have to pay.
Overall I would go back it was in a decent location, clean and a reasonable price.however this was my first time in Japan and I'm not sure how other hotels compare.

Laundry worked good and air conditioning worked good, only thing we didn’t like was the sheet covers having stains as well as pillow cases, in the men bathrooms there was an adult toy was left there for a week it was odd that it wasn’t cleaned overall experience 2/5. My gf also saw men going into the women bathrooms and showers as well, couple would shower together in the women showers while other females were showering ( I feel like that’s not safe for many reasons ) they can do better honestly.

Great value for money

If you look past the prison vibe and the slightly dubious neighbourhood, it's actually alright and very good value for money. The single rooms are very small with barely space to stand. The showers are very good. Value for money is excellent but don't expect much luxury, good if you're planning on being out all day and just sleeping here.

Exactly what i needed for a quick stay in Osaka. The sofa bed is VERY small. I’m 5’3” and thought it was too little to be used as a bed of any kind. Showers were clean. Laundry machines clean. Microwave available, no kitchen. Self check-in & self check-out. No keys. All codes to get in. Super convenient.

Upon arrival to this hotel, we had realised it was in the ‘slum of Japan’ which is not a great start. The area surrounding the hotel feels dodgy and there are lots of undesirable people around. Inside the hotel, it is basic as the pictures would suggest. We found our bed was dirty but the room was spacious with a fridge and a large TV. The shared bathrooms were basic but clean,equipped with washing and drying machines and hair dryers aswell as toiletries. We left this hotel early as 2 men in casual clothes came and knocked on our door asking for the code to enter. They said it was broken and needed to be reset, but we found it was perfectly fine. We asked for proof they worked at the hotel which they couldn’t provide and only showed us a laptop. This made us feel unsafe, on top of the hotel being in a bad location and dirty so we decided to book somewhere else. I also received an email from an address that was not listed on Bestie’s website or social media sites. Upon leaving the hotel, we spoke to a girl at the reception desk through Google Translate who assured us that they did work for the hotel and had been into our room earlier in the day when we were out to try and fix the issue??? Which we weren’t told about! She said we could return to our room but we declined. This was very unprofessional, even with a language barrier, the need to enter our room when we were out or explanation of why they needed the room PIN could have been explained through Google Translate.

Room was small and had only the basic necessities which is fine when you’re spending 99% of your time seeing the city. It was located not far from Shinsekai and a train station. Only thing remotely close to a “drawback” was there were a lot of sketchy people outside and around the property but none of them ever approached us or even acknowledged us so it’s not really a problem. Great hotel for travellers, would book again.

As a single female traveler, I wouldn’t recommend this property. A few times I was coming back to the hotel around 8 pm some of the homeless men started cat calling me. Thankfully it’s close to the station. Then at night I could hear the other people in the room next to me, police sirens all night (the police station is right next to the hotel), and people shouting outside.
I would recommend staying closer to the main area.

But the hotel was nice. The self check in and check out was very easy, however I was worried something would go wrong and no one would be there to help.

So. Pros and cons. Yes, it’s cheap, but I don’t recommend this place if you are alone.

Honestly I have never written a review before but don’t want other people falling for the same trap. It’s not as nice as the photos, it smells sickly sweet on entry mixed with trying to disguise other smells, got into our room and the ‘clean’ sheets smelt of smoke and had black hairs through it, the bed board smelt of smoke, and people were regularly smoking outside the vicinity, there was one toilet for a whole floor with tooth paste splatter all over the door and walls, and there was a significant draft that came into the room. The shower is also on the first floor so if you’re a few floors up you have to go past the reception area back down.

Challenge Your Heart to a Fight

Osaka doesn't always seem friendly. But you'll notice the city's warmth go out of the air as you approach this mirthless budget horror movie set.

You're sure to love arriving after sunset to find no staff or signs of life. Challenge your navigation skills with an unlit exterior and an entrance door that swears you should walk into an unrelated apartment building instead. Embrace this rejected Choose Your Own Adventure plotline as you confront the Door of Numbers, sashay past Brutalist Front Desk, and navigate the Sweltering Halls of Claustrophobia.

Punch in the right numbers to escape into Room. Enjoy lavish amenities like Bed and Ineffective Air Conditioner.

Working on a bleak novel or screenplay? Let this austere ode to darkness and sanitarium-saturated nightmares be your muse.

Short on laughs? Ask to cancel your reservation and wait for the excuses to roll in. Maybe you won't be laughing... but someone will be.

I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately just didn’t meet my hopes. The area is very dirty, so many homeless people, rubish everywhere, rats, bugs, and just filth. I did not feel safe walking around at night as a female solo traveller. It was far from central Osaka. Yes there is transit near by but expensive to get around. There is a big donki near by which is nice but other then that not worth it.
For the room mine smelled so bad of smoke. I have asthma and I was having a hard time breathing. I wanted to leave it was so bad. It was nice to have a room to myself but would have enjoyed a none smoke room. I texted the hotel but they didn’t get back to me until the last day.
When it came to check in, I got to drop off my bags early before check in which is nice but when it came to check out, I couldn’t leave my bags for a few hours. Which doesn’t really make sense to me.
All in all I would not recommend this place. No matter the cheaper price. It’s not worth it. I honestly wish I could get my money back.

I got the single room and it felt a bit small then what I expected but it was still fine for one person. They provided fast wifi for each individual room. The room and the hotel was pretty clean. The best thing about the hotel is the location. A short walk from a metro osaka station and a Jr station, it's really convenient. From my experience it was pretty quiet even at night.
