Exactly what i needed for a quick stay in Osaka. The sofa bed is VERY small. I’m 5’3” and thought it was too little to be used as a bed of any kind. Showers were clean. Laundry machines clean. Microwave available, no kitchen. Self check-in & self check-out. No keys. All codes to get in. Super convenient.

Upon arrival to this hotel, we had realised it was in the ‘slum of Japan’ which is not a great start. The area surrounding the hotel feels dodgy and there are lots of undesirable people around. Inside the hotel, it is basic as the pictures would suggest. We found our bed was dirty but the room was spacious with a fridge and a large TV. The shared bathrooms were basic but clean,equipped with washing and drying machines and hair dryers aswell as toiletries. We left this hotel early as 2 men in casual clothes came and knocked on our door asking for the code to enter. They said it was broken and needed to be reset, but we found it was perfectly fine. We asked for proof they worked at the hotel which they couldn’t provide and only showed us a laptop. This made us feel unsafe, on top of the hotel being in a bad location and dirty so we decided to book somewhere else. I also received an email from an address that was not listed on Bestie’s website or social media sites. Upon leaving the hotel, we spoke to a girl at the reception desk through Google Translate who assured us that they did work for the hotel and had been into our room earlier in the day when we were out to try and fix the issue??? Which we weren’t told about! She said we could return to our room but we declined. This was very unprofessional, even with a language barrier, the need to enter our room when we were out or explanation of why they needed the room PIN could have been explained through Google Translate.

Room was small and had only the basic necessities which is fine when you’re spending 99% of your time seeing the city. It was located not far from Shinsekai and a train station. Only thing remotely close to a “drawback” was there were a lot of sketchy people outside and around the property but none of them ever approached us or even acknowledged us so it’s not really a problem. Great hotel for travellers, would book again.

As a single female traveler, I wouldn’t recommend this property. A few times I was coming back to the hotel around 8 pm some of the homeless men started cat calling me. Thankfully it’s close to the station. Then at night I could hear the other people in the room next to me, police sirens all night (the police station is right next to the hotel), and people shouting outside. I would recommend staying closer to the main area. But the hotel was nice. The self check in and check out was very easy, however I was worried something would go wrong and no one would be there to help. So. Pros and cons. Yes, it’s cheap, but I don’t recommend this place if you are alone.

the only complaint i have is that the bathroom was outside of the room and shared with the whole floor - and the showers are on the ground floor for everyone. it’s perfect for a short stay in japan and the room had good facilities!

It was a great hotel to stay in, however the area around it is not very touristy and feels at times a little hostile. However, it is near train stations and allows for you to leave whenever.

Honestly I have never written a review before but don’t want other people falling for the same trap. It’s not as nice as the photos, it smells sickly sweet on entry mixed with trying to disguise other smells, got into our room and the ‘clean’ sheets smelt of smoke and had black hairs through it, the bed board smelt of smoke, and people were regularly smoking outside the vicinity, there was one toilet for a whole floor with tooth paste splatter all over the door and walls, and there was a significant draft that came into the room. The shower is also on the first floor so if you’re a few floors up you have to go past the reception area back down.

Rooms were spacious for the price, showers were decent, sound proofing wasn’t the greatest but you get for what you paid. Also, towels weren’t very clean in my opinion. Everything else was good.
