Hotels in Kansai

I had a wonderful stay at Drop Inn Osaka! This is my first time to stay in a dormitory room and it surely has raised the bar high. I arrived at the hostel around 11PM. The password for the main door is provided beforehand via E-mail. Inform them if arriving later that 10PM since reception is already closed by then. There is a separate door for the female dormitory too. Equipped with electronic lock. The details are provided in the pouch in the front desk when I arrived. Restrooms and showers are sparkling clean! Body wash, shampoo and conditioner are provided so I just bring my clothes when I need to shower. Towels are free and provided everyday. You just have to get them in the 3rd floor, in the lounge area/breakfast area. Breakfast is simple with coffee, tea, juice, toast, butter and jam. Area is also close to Fukushima Station (10 min walk) and Osaka JR station (15 min walk - where you can ride to other areas like Nara, Osaka, etc.). I really love staying here and will definitely come back!

Strategic hostel in Kyoto, just walk about 10 minutes from Shijo Karawamachi station. They provide basic toiletries, the bed is cozy enough with tatami concept. Free water at common room with many brochure about attraction at Kyoto.
