Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The shower room was clean the day we arrived and with free towel service. Easy access to the room by lift. Clean toilets as well. The staff was really helpful and are around between 9am until 8pm to help with any request. Cheap prices too if you need to stay on a budget on your trip to Japan!

    Great location, lovely staff, comfortable bed. Cheap laundry on each floor. The only bad thing was the air con was centrally controlled so because it's winter it was constantly on heating and I couldn't cool the room down without opening the window which I didn't want to keep open all night as there is no safety screen and a platform outside.

    Extremely cheap backpacker style accommodation especially considering that it is private rooms rather then bunk beds. Futons are surprisingly comfortable. Common room seemed to be quite busy most nights if you are the social type. Pretty good location, 15 minutes or so from Namba Station. Easy enough location to get around. "Poorer" area so provides an interesting and different look into Japanese life, always felt safe though. Several convince stores nearby to buy water and a breakfast bento on your way out sightseeing.
