1. Location: yes it's a bit far but still it's walkable distance to/from Nakasu-Kawabata station (中洲川端) like 5-10 mins walk.
2. Staff: they are really friendly and they explain all the houserules in the hostel in detail.
3. Curfew: yes you need a password to enter the hostel after like 22:00, and the main entrance is locked after 02:00, but i kind of agree with their concept that it helps save costs and it eventually makes it quite a good deal in the area
4. Luggage room: there isn't any luggage storage provided after check-out, so be prepared to find your own if it's needed (thanks to the receptionist, i was allowed to store for a couple of hours at his discretion)
5. In-room air conditioning: it's off during daytime so it's a bit warm
6. Laundry: hangers are provided free of charge
