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.
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!
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,
It was great! Such a cute little hostel. My friend and I stayed for one night in the female dormitory. Loved all the books. Recommend for a night stay. Very close to shopping.
Amazing stay! Highly recommend groups, couple or even family to stay! Toilet condition was mind-blown to be honest. Super clean and the staff occasionally clean them up. Our beds were cosy and luggage have sufficient space for storage. They even provide drinks and MISO SOUP! Love it!
This place is near Namba station so it's very convenient for those who want to visit Dotombori until late. It has comic books at the common area so you wont get bored if you dont have any plan, they also have free miso soup and drinks at the common area so you can feel the hospitality here. The place is clean as well. Overall a good experience.
Absolutely great hostel! Clean, fast, friendly staff, very convenient and affordable, plus super close to Denden town and only a couple blocks from Dotonburi!
Nice location, close to Namba station and Dotonburi. There is convenient store just opposite, and shopping street right at corner. Famous Kuromon Market is also just 5mins away.
Very trendy, stylish, and modern place to stay! The amenities offered is excellent and the decor is very updated. Multi-lingual support is everywhere on all the signs, very traveler friendly. Very cheap in-house breakfast option too! For such a good price, I will definitely consider Hotel Wasabi again. Check in and check out was a breeze!
A word of warning, it IS on the second floor and there's no elevator access but with some leg work you'll be fine.
Another word, it has signs that say QUIET after a certain time, as guests, please respect that and be quiet for other people who are trying to sleep!! It's a shared space after all!
Very easy access to the kintesu line. Close to dotoburi so you never go hungry . Convinece store right in front. Also will hold luggage prior and after checkin/out.
