Everything a hostel should be - location so-so

Typical, clean hostel, lovely manager (once she gets to know you), great company - so so area (really only good for its proximity to universal studios). The dorm is just one huge room with heaps of bunk beds - not very private, and the common room is quite small, but that makes for extra friendliness and mingling potential.

IMO - a bit overpriced

The hostel is located 10-15 minutes away from Taisho station - JR Osaka Loop Line and another line connect to it. It is quite convenient to go anywhere using those two lines except when you are going to Namba. It is a station away to the Kyocera Dome and/or a mall (20-30 minutes by walking). We found the hostel around 10 AM in the morning and it wasn't open, we had to knock several times and when the management opened the door, they seemed quite surprised that we were there. I explained that we were there to leave our bags and check-in later that day as check-in starts at 3PM. The common room nor the reception has no space to leave our bags so we were escorted to our beds where we left our bags and we were asked to leave and come back in the afternoon. There are 13 double deck beds cramped into a very small space.There was around half a meter distance between some of the beds. I can smell that the beddings aren't usually washed as I my blanket and pillow possesses some funky smell (it wasn't strong but still can smell it).There is also one toilet and one bathroom and the urinal which is half a square meter (go figure-I though it was inovatv).There are so many rules and it seemed very restrictive. It is very difficult to connect to their wi-fi. It is by luck that you can connect to it and when you do, you probably have a few minutes before getting disconnected from it again. The staff seemed nice. They were not always at the reception and they have very limited English.

ゲストハウス初心者の感想

28室ではありません。28個のお手製ベット もしくは2段ベットが14個2階部分全体にが正しいかと思われます。手作り感満載の靴棚 階段 床 2段ベット 2階の女性エリアトイレ・・・ ２階に上がって右側が男性エリア 「ここから男性は入らないで」みたいな事が書かれている小さな立て看板より左は女性エリアです。 なので階段上がったすぐの2段ベット下段に寝ていた娘は人(男性)が通るたび気になってほとんど眠れなかったそうです。 あと、娘は167cmありベットの長さがジャスト(笑) シングルサイズよりせまいので寝返りが出来ない感じでした。 荷物はベットの横(通路)に置くしかないです。鍵のついてないものは心配になると思います。貴重品は一緒に寝るしかありません。 洗面所は水しか出ません。冬は辛そうですね。 シャワーはバスタブの中で浴びなくてはいけないらしく脱衣所はありません。 利用タイムは20分 1日1回 でした。 近所には何もなく夜は真っ暗なアーケード商店街 大正駅付近で必ず必要な物を買って行かれることをオススメします。 タバコは玄関のところで吸えます。水の入った瓶がありそれに吸い殻を入れます。 ゲストハウス初めてなのでびっくりすることばかりでした。 想像と違いすぎて・・・他のゲストハウスもこんな感じなのでしょうか・・・
