The host is very attentive to guests plans and gave great advice about the area . It's the perfect area as a base for both the city and the expo with good breakfast places nearby and also a public bath not far away.

“I would stay here again when I go to Osaka.”
The French Général Director was caring and warm. The facilities, including the common areas, were very clean and comfortable. Even if foreigners from various backgrounds stay here, the manager thoroughly explains the rules at the reception to prevent any trouble due to cultural differences.

Super clean place which is nicely located and an incredibly accommodating host! Gend is really friendly and always eager to give suggestions for things to do. He goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone is comfortable. The place is also nice and quiet as there are never too many quests, which I liked. Really nice bathroom and toilets too. Big recommend!

“Very good. Will definitely choose it again”
The house was cozy and well-equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. It was also very relaxing to enjoy a bath at night. The host was very warm and welcoming, even offering free coffee, juice, and cookies in the morning. I had great conversations with people from all over the world in the living room and made many new friends.

“Great place to stay for visiting Expo. Super friendly host. He was born top be a Guest house host.”
1. Great location for the expo and super convenient for everything. A lovely coffee shop and a big supermarket, even has an onsen just a 5-minute walk away. That area is also very comfortable, not too busy but convenient. Also easy to reach Kobe and Kansai Airport. 2. super friendly host, and I quite like to talk to him. He is pretty willing to share everything. I do love his work style; it is free but takes care of everyone well. It is kind of just staying with your friends. I feel that he is born to be the host of a guest house. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 3. Everything is very clean and tidy—the toilet with a great smell. And everything is elegant and perfect for me.

“Cosy guest house with a personal touch.”
Great location, easy to get to USJ, Expo or the Aquarium. Large shopping Complex 5 minutes walk away. Friendly atmosphere mixing with other guests. Be sure to order breakfast, it's home cooked and delicious.

About a 5 minute walk from the subways and loop line this place is great to reach any place in and around Osaka. The rich continental breakfast was a good foundation for spending the days out in Osaka.

“Perfect choice :)”
Everything was amazing!There was a well-equippent kitchen, bathroom and living room and very comfy beds.. You don’t need to bring your shampoo or soap. There is even a nail polish remover ;) The owner of this hostel is so kind, friendly and like a chef who prepared a delicious french breakfast for the guests ;) Location is so good, so close to subway.

The owner is great. Even I don't like sleeping in a bunker bed and sharing room. This is the greatest house I sleep before

Small, cozy and clean guesthouse. Located in a quiet area, close to a metro station and a konbini. The owner is accommodating and will be able to help you (speaks English, French and Japanese). Ideal to start your trip to Japan.

The host is very friendly and cares for his guests. Everything is very clean. The dormitory has only four beds which is a good thing.

You can tell how much effort the host puts into his guests and his hostel. I felt very comfortable and it was very clean. I also liked that it is a rather small hostel.
