Cafe & Hostel Kimi to Ichigo

1000/10 I stayed here for 4 weeks while solo travel around Japan and as a female solo traveler I felt so beyond safe here, I stayed in the mixed dormitory and it was so clean, the staff checked in on me to see if I wanted my space clean or blankets switched out. Being able to wake up and have unlimited tea right outside the dorms in the hall was such a plus. The bathrooms/showers/makeup area was always super clean and sanitized. Staff would always knock before entering the bathrooms which made me feel really comfortable knowing they wouldn’t just walk in. This hostel is close to literally everything, I found myself going on daily walks around Osaka and anytime there was a big event happening in dontonbori I was just a few streets away to be able to attend. Checking in and out was super easy. The cafe area was always super clean and they had free potatoes some nights which would literally make my day when they would offer them, the WiFi was fast and even when the hostel was packed with people I never had a issue with the internet. I stayed here for a long time and don’t have a single complaint this place went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations in every way. Also the food they sell in the cafe is so delicious I definitely recommend trying their desserts and breakfast when you stay there. Thank you so much to all the staff and employees for making my first trip to Japan so amazing and memorable.

スタッフが爽やかで感じか良かった。

the staff were great and very helpful

The staff was pretty good

j-hopeコンサートのために泊まらせて頂きました。スタッフの対応が良くて、1人旅向けの宿泊です。

アーケード商店街に近接してますので、雨にふられてもほぼ濡れずに南海も大阪メトロも近鉄も（地下街がしまってなければJRも）利用可能です。自分はLCC利用なので、朝1番に関西空港に行かねばならず、南海なんばにこの距離で行けるのは1番のメリットと言えます。スリッパを持参するといいと思います。廊下に無料で利用できるウォーターサーバーがございますが、水・湯だけでなく、緑茶、麦茶、紅茶、フルーツ酢が少し混ざった水も選べるのは嬉しい誤算です。

I needed a last minute room and this worked out due to the proximity from the train station in Nippombashi. Overall, convenient for one night stay. I was in a mixed gender area because the all women room was sold out.

女性専用の部屋のはずなのに入ってすぐのベットで男の人が寝てました これはどういうこと？

宿泊ゾーンの床がちょっと汚く見える、スリッパは貰えないので気になる方はスリッパを持ってきたほうが良いです それ以外はこの値段なら納得、大阪にくる時はまた使いたいです

I’ve traveled all over Japan and this my worst stop. The staff is cordial enough, but it goes down from there… first, they charge you for everything from towels to ear plugs to toothbrushes. This was off-putting to say the least. Next, the sleeping area is filthy with the entrance filled with smelly shoes, bags scattered all over the floor, trash not emptied timely. The toilets were hit or miss I might add. The sleeping arrangement? I was unlucky enough to have a bed with a view of the bed next to me… WTH? The walls are paper thin so unlucky me was sandwiched between two snorers and one who passes gas every 10 minutes. Yikes my two nights here was two nights way too many! Tbh I was tempted leaving asap! I’m not a negative person and refrain from slamming businesses but this place needs improvements. What saves it from 1-star is the common area is huge with lots of tables, outlets, good WiFi. The concept is good, just needs upkeep! And don’t let me tell you about the steps to the front desk if you have more than one bag… You’re welcome!

From B21 round the corner by the strawberry crepé stand and look for the huge strawberry jutting out above the entrance. Once in the reception getting your keys and passcode are just as easy; the latter changes on a monthly basis, so you might want to keep that in mind for longer stays. The A lockers are ~20% larger than those of C, but are also placed in the dorm itself so there might be noise. C lockers are instead placed between the womens' dorm and their bathroom. The bathrooms have everything you'd expect from a dormitory. Bring some cash if you intend to use the coin-washer/-dryer, as it's a 50/50 chance to get coins by card in the reception, dependent on who's working that day. The lounge is very homely and cozy. There are power sockets, but only up some very steep stairs if you need space to work on a laptop. A Bic Camera is a stone throw away for cheap USB-A&C charging stations. There are no sockets or WiFi-coverage in the crawlspaces, but there are AC, making them prime relaxing spots. No communal kitchen, so it's either microwave or boiled water when you don't want to have to find a spot at one of the multitude of over- and underground restaurants and food stalls in the area. Cleaning seem to happen twice a day; around 10:00/15:00. The personnel turn on/off the dorm lights around 08:00/22:00. Travelers keep it quiet in the dorms for the most part. Saw mostly fishermen and couples, with the occasional VIP-bus traveler, from France, Germany, and South America.

外観がピンクすぎて男性一人で入るには少し勇気がいるかも。ただコンビニや居酒屋が近くにあって便利。ロビーも広くてくつろげる。

フロントの方が感じよく、いろいろ質問して教えていただきました。 また機会があれば利用します。 あとはその時の利用者がきれい好きなら…洗面台に使用後のティッシュなど置きっぱなしでした。

Overall is good. But there are only few shower rooms and hairdryers for around 30 ppl, so u may need to wait. Good is there is large space for you to pack your personal items if u are carrying a large suitcase, only u need to carry your luggage by youself because there is no elevator. Please rmb to bring your own slipper and toothbrush because these were not provided for free. Location is good, staff are nice.

スーツケースを持って3階まで行くのは大変だった。

很喜歡！！！離熱門景點都超近！！！ 環境設備都很乾淨很棒！！！

ที่พักนี้อยู่ใหล้ย่านช้อปปิ้ง เดินทางสะดวก ชอบมากๆเลยค่ะ

仕事場に近いので再利用してもいいなと思ってます

I enjoyed my stay here, and with it being locared only a 5 min walk from the bustling Dotonbori street, I found it to be very useful for getting about Osaka. The hostel itself was fine, with clean beds and bathrooms, and generally the hostel was relatively quiet at night despite the large dorm room, and being just above a busy market street. A free tea/coffee/water machine, and washing machines that you pay for are also available. Whilst smaller lockers are available for your main valuables, it would be nice to have something bigger for your main luggage. If you're a fan of comics and games, you're also only 10 mins away by foot from the Nipponbashi area, packed with plenty of shops,

good location with nice staff, it's worth. You should stay here when you are willing to visit osaka.
