Nami is a great host, making you feel very comfortable ! The place is like going to an auntie host, not the modern type of hostel but the old one version 💛.

“Nice share house and kind owner.”
A really great place to stay if you are in Osaka for a few days. Facilities are a bit older, but everything has a good feeling to it. And Nami-san is really great and kind. You can get a simple breakfast and talk for a bit. English is possible, but Japanese is preferred as if you know some you can talk much more. Overall I really liked it here and can recommend it.

Nami is an amazing host with a beautiful heart. She made this experience feel like home. The guests are nice and the room was very cozy. The place is very clean and well maintained.

“I would like to stay in such wonderful places all the time.”
The hostess is very warm, funny, and hospitable. Talking to her is like talking to a Master of Life. The house is cozy, the bed is comfortable, and there is always cleanliness and hot water. I value silence, and it was quiet there. The location is close to the metro station, making it easy to reach any attractions. Additionally, I was accommodated in a higher-category room without any additional charges. I felt at home. I highly recommend this place.

The staff is the best, they helped me carry my heavy luggage up the stairs and were friendly and available at all times. Nami-san toasts were the best and someone like her in the morning is really the best way to start your day. The laundry is available also you can hang the clothes to dry. The roof is the best place ever, grants privacy and allows you to observe the city at night. The common area is quite lovely and it's easy to find people to hang out with.
