8.2Verified guest“Good location and fair price. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the common area was comfortable. I liked the variety of music in the reception. Showers were always spotless. Even with many beds in the dorm, it was quiet and calm. The neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy at first but we never felt unsafe. Would recommend for a stay in Osaka.”
