Shin-Osaka Youth Hostel

Clean, good service, and friendly

前職からリストラにあい、半年近く仕事が出来ず、面接に大阪まで来て、お金が無く、コンビニで昼食を取り、道頓堀を眺めならが、大阪を堪能致しました。その後こちらのドミトリーに宿泊しました。翌日面接なこともあり、わがまま言いましたがとても親切に対応頂き感謝の言葉しかありません。有難うございます。また泊まりに行きます。

I stayed at Hotel Shin-Osaka for a week during my visit of Osaka and Kyoto. It is located just across the street from the subway station and that made it a great location since that station had places to eat, a few shops and for foreigners who don't speak Japanese and are planning to use their transit system they have an office there in the station to help you out with your transit traveling not only in Osaka but outside Osaka too. The hotel room was always kept clean when returned from daily tours and the staff were nice, friendly and even helpful when planning day trips. On the downside there wasn't much to do near the hotel except a couple of places to eat but then you had the train station just across the hotel entrance. On the weekends vendors sell some of their items as in a flea market (between the hotel and the train entrance) and surprising enough there were some interesting things to look at or even buy. Since I only planned to use the hotel as a place to sleep, this was the perfect spot for me to stay at with a reasonable price and very easy transit train station.

The hostel was very clean and located in a convenient section of Osaka. I stayed in a four-bed room (two bunk beds). The rooms were immaculate and my roommates were very nice. There was a hot breakfast each day for 500 yen. Finally, the wifi was good in the common area; the only drawback was it wasn't accessible in each room.
