Overall is good. But there are only few shower rooms and hairdryers for around 30 ppl, so u may need to wait. Good is there is large space for you to pack your personal items if u are carrying a large suitcase, only u need to carry your luggage by youself because there is no elevator. Please rmb to bring your own slipper and toothbrush because these were not provided for free. Location is good, staff are nice.

I’ve traveled all over Japan and this my worst stop. The staff is cordial enough, but it goes down from there… first, they charge you for everything from towels to ear plugs to toothbrushes. This was off-putting to say the least. Next, the sleeping area is filthy with the entrance filled with smelly shoes, bags scattered all over the floor, trash not emptied timely. The toilets were hit or miss I might add. The sleeping arrangement? I was unlucky enough to have a bed with a view of the bed next to me… WTH? The walls are paper thin so unlucky me was sandwiched between two snorers and one who passes gas every 10 minutes. Yikes my two nights here was two nights way too many! Tbh I was tempted leaving asap! I’m not a negative person and refrain from slamming businesses but this place needs improvements. What saves it from 1-star is the common area is huge with lots of tables, outlets, good WiFi. The concept is good, just needs upkeep! And don’t let me tell you about the steps to the front desk if you have more than one bag… You’re welcome!

Sweets lead the way!
From B21 round the corner by the strawberry crepé stand and look for the huge strawberry jutting out above the entrance. Once in the reception getting your keys and passcode are just as easy; the latter changes on a monthly basis, so you might want to keep that in mind for longer stays. The A lockers are ~20% larger than those of C, but are also placed in the dorm itself so there might be noise. C lockers are instead placed between the womens' dorm and their bathroom. The bathrooms have everything you'd expect from a dormitory. Bring some cash if you intend to use the coin-washer/-dryer, as it's a 50/50 chance to get coins by card in the reception, dependent on who's working that day. The lounge is very homely and cozy. There are power sockets, but only up some very steep stairs if you need space to work on a laptop. A Bic Camera is a stone throw away for cheap USB-A&C charging stations. There are no sockets or WiFi-coverage in the crawlspaces, but there are AC, making them prime relaxing spots. No communal kitchen, so it's either microwave or boiled water when you don't want to have to find a spot at one of the multitude of over- and underground restaurants and food stalls in the area. Cleaning seem to happen twice a day; around 10:00/15:00. The personnel turn on/off the dorm lights around 08:00/22:00. Travelers keep it quiet in the dorms for the most part. Saw mostly fishermen and couples, with the occasional VIP-bus traveler, from France, Germany, and South America.

Great Location
I enjoyed my stay here, and with it being locared only a 5 min walk from the bustling Dotonbori street, I found it to be very useful for getting about Osaka. The hostel itself was fine, with clean beds and bathrooms, and generally the hostel was relatively quiet at night despite the large dorm room, and being just above a busy market street. A free tea/coffee/water machine, and washing machines that you pay for are also available. Whilst smaller lockers are available for your main valuables, it would be nice to have something bigger for your main luggage. If you're a fan of comics and games, you're also only 10 mins away by foot from the Nipponbashi area, packed with plenty of shops,

チェックイン時のあのフロントの女性の態度がひどすぎて、wifiのパスワードも教えてくれなかったし、3階にどこから行くのかも説明してくれなかった、発展途上国の公務員みたいです。 わさび名古屋に泊まった時、印象が良かったが、わさび大阪に良い印象はないです。
