The staff is very kind. Check-in was so easy, my first time staying at a hostel in Japan. I didn't expect much, but the bathroom was clean. I could sleep well here, and the hostel has a restaurant, so it's easy to get food.

Strategic location close to the subway, staff can speak English and be friendly, the bedrooms are clean, bathrooms are clean and highly recommended to stay here. And the best is a strategic location that can walk to Shinsaibashi and Dotonburi

Good value for unbeatable price. I stayed an additional night because the place was satisfactory. Bathrooms were spotless and cleaned daily, though girls' shower and sink area can start accumulating hair left behind and becoming increasingly dirty as the night goes on. The bed was firm, you could feel the springs, but the sheets were hotel-level clean.

We stayed in a 4 dorm, 2 adults and 2 kids, for 4 nights. The hostel was great for us in terms of location, cost, and room space. They serve some amazing lunch and dinner options there too! The hostel was one of the quietest I've ever stayed in and the facilities were all fairly clean and well equipped.

Like: Clean, friendly staff, easy check-in/out, very comfy bed, some space for putting luggage (not much but still better than some other hostels). Washing machine for free with free detergent coin operated dryer. Can also borrow the umbrella from the hostel if needed.
Dislike: the room door was screeching continuously, making me very uncomfortable whenever going in/out since I would disturb others. Hope the hotel fix it soon. Hot water can be on and off in the middle of your shower due to other users. If it happens to be suddenly cold, just let it run for a few more minutes to be hot again.
Also, Expedia website says towel will be provided but it wasn't (you have to book the room "amenities included or rent it for 200Y). Should edit this info.
Overall enjoyable stay, thank you!

The staff were absolutely lovely and would help us at the drop of a hat. The food was really good and the music was fun.
The smoking downstairs in the restaurant is a huge turn off for me, as there is nowhere for non-smokers to enjoy their food. I rarely dined downstairs because it stank of cigarettes. One of the clothes dryers was out of order which was inconvenient. It was near impossible to get hot water in the showers - sometimes you had to run it for 10 minutes just to get it going. I took completely cold showers on a number of occasions. During our stay, someone defecated on the bathroom floor and walked it all throughout the room. After that incident, we often found very dirty toilet seats and it was not enjoyable trying to use them.
