&And Hostel Shinsaibashi East

While the staff were friendly, this hostel leaves much to be desired.

Clean comfy rooms. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again if I came back to the area!

good

The place didn't match up with the description and photos. It was also further from the subway stations as described.

Perfect place

Not too bad for a night stay

The place is well connected with many stations within walking distance, that said, if you fancy a stroll it is not too far away for that either. I stayed in a room with a private bathroom instead of a dorm which was nice and clean. The shower was like a pressure washer which was nice but it was adjustable as well if you dont want to remove your skin :). The staff were friendly and always greeted me whenever i entered or departed and were able to help with any questions asked. I would recommend this place as a solo traveler and when i come back with a group will look to book here again.

I loved it, the people are really friendly and attentive and everybody was very lively and met new people and had a great experience

Staff is excellent, friendly and accommodating. Hostel location is 15-20 min walk from 3 separate train station depending on ur pace.

The 4 capsule room was smaller than it looked in the photos. Very little room to manoeuvre or store bags. A single window which looked out onto a brick wall. There's very little air movement from the air conditioning through the capsules which makes sleeping on a hot night difficult. Considering the hostel in general the overall facility is quite good with well equipped kitchen and a small lounge area. There is also a very well air conditioned co working space.

Very friendly staff! Also, they either speak very well English or they do their best to speak it!

A 30min walk from Dotonburi river / city centre or Osaka Castle, very clean, great price and friendly staff. Checkout is at 10:00am and the latest Check In is 12:00am. Great experience.

This property has everything you need. Close to the metro system for easy access to the rest Osaka and the surrounding area.

I loved my stay

Good if you are looking for a place to crash and don't intend to spend time in your room. Good communal lounge, a working space and communal kitchen. Our twin room was a bit pokey with no real luggage or clothing storage space.

Pros: friendly and helpful staff, communal kitchen and eating area, board/card games, simple breakfast and snacks provided daily, about 700-800m walking distance to nearest subway, convenience stores everywhere, good bathroom amenities and fresh towels, fast WiFi. Cons: rooms are small and floors/corners are a bit dusty, rooms are only cleaned on day 4, but in our experience only the bed sheets were changed. Hair strands and dust on the floor weren’t cleaned and trash weren’t cleared so we did that ourselves. Overall will still recommend for travellers on a budget who want a safe and reasonably comfy stay!

Super clean and very polite staff.. .

I will start this off by saying i booked a private double room. The listing on hotels.com only has a picture of one of the room types as there are multiple. The type I got was not pictured and as such i feel slightly misled. The room was incredibly barebones, but thats to be expected of a hostel especially at this price point. The walls were very thin so you could basically hear someone fart halfway down the hallway. Luckily I sleep with a travel fan but there were a few occasions where loud drunk guests would be shouting in the halls late at night which was hard to drown out. Obviously that's not the fault of the hostel itself but i think it should be kept in mind. The area was the saving grace of this place as its about a half hour from dotonburi by foot. Theres also a Familymart right beside the front entrance, and a lawson about 3 minutes down the street. Another thing to note is that the front doors lock at 23:00 for the night and you need a door code, but this is provided during check in.

Clean and well maintained

Overall a pretty decent hostel to stay in Osaka. Most places you need to travel about 30 mins to get to and not many places to eat close by. Room was okay, bed was comfy but on the floor. Communal kitchen was nice. Appreciated the laundry machines and areas to sit on the main floor.
