Only 5 shower rooms for the whole entire building of dozens of rooms... Quite ridiculous tbh. First night I had to wait 1 hours in front of the shower room until I was finally able to use it. Everything is dirty, it might look ok at first but when u look close everything is dirty and moldy. The shampoo bottles for example, they were moldy. No soap in the bathroom. Wifi is extremely slow, I've never seen such a slow wifi in my life. The duvet on the bed was so old and dirty, and the clean sheets that covered the duvet didn't cover it entirely so it was gross. The pillow, you can't even call that a pillow. The size was a third of the size of a normal pillow and it seemed like it was filled with rocks, not foam or anything soft. Location isn't bad, but overall this place was definitely not worth the price we paid.

The property was so filthy. I had to sleep with the lights on. This place was disgusting. The toilet had layers of filth. The bedroom floor felt like it would break at any minute. The most disgusting hotel I experienced in all of Japan. I was not expecting such an awful experience while visiting this country. Spend the extra money for a better experience. I spent $10 more and got a much better room.

I was taken back at how different the hotel appeared compared to the photos. It was easy to find especially if you are traveling by train as it is walking distance from the train station. The staff weren’t mean at all. Inside the hotel there is a subtle moldy smell. The room smells just as bad, but the worst part was the bed. The beds are uncomfortable to sleep on and the sheets are stained although it appeared to be washed. The bathrooms are shared amongst everyone on your floor and also looked very shabby. I’m not the type of person to complain either. I laid on the brick hard bed but staying awake, I couldn’t take it anymore. I got up at 4am, returned my key and walked out to look for another stay. Sadly I didn’t get my refund even tho they were very dishonest with how they advertised it. I managed to find a capsule hotel that was 10x better and only $10-$20 more per night. If I can’t even sleep there then what am I paying for? A charity hotel?

This is a perfect place for real backpackers and is the most affordable option in osaka. I can’t believe the negative reviews. Who pays so little and then writes a bad review for this place. It came with everything a person needs for an affordable price. Shampoo soap towels private showers sheets pillow and privacy many hotels dont even have these things. For the price id say 10/10

1. Requested non smoking and yet were placed directly beside a smoking area, so our room stunk. We literally had to go buy air fresheners to make our room marginally comfortable to breathe in. 2. Amenities were so I credibly dirty. Shocked at the condition of the bathroom and shower area. 3. The beds were unbelievably uncomfortable. I've slept fine on futons before, this was the thinnest mattress I've ever seen. It was also stained with who knows what. Never ever stay here

This place is admittedly cheap but damn... all you get is a room with two beds (super uncomfortable), room kinda dirty, there's air-conditioning so that's fine but the toilet attached to the room only has icy cold water and no hand soap. A hotel without even soap? I asked for it as i thought it was a mistake but nope. No soap. Location is good though. You should see at as just a place to sleep.

The room was basic but had everything I needed in a room, the common bathrooms at the lower floors are slightly inconvenient but I can't complain much as the room prices are very affordable and spacious for the money. Might stay here again if I'm in Osaka. One of the hotel staff is able to speak in basic English so it will be convenient for foreign guests.

1. The hotel was extremely dirty, the room walls had a lot of stains and it smell very bad, I had to buy an air freshener, the bathroom smell was horrible, and the shower room had a lot of fungus 2. I found insects on my room, when I told the staff about that so that they fumigate, they only gave me an insecticide for me to do it on my own. 3. Some Horrible staff, specially the woman, one day while I was sleeping she started knocking on my door very loudly and I woke up, she said that I had to leave the hotel, when I show her that I still had one night left she barely said sorry and then she walked away

Really small and cozy, but the showers needed some cleaning, and there was a lot of dust build up in our room. Otherwise helpful staff, cute decor, and very foreigner friendly. For the price this hotel was honestly very good!

The property itself is fairly nice. My room was small but clean. Uses keys instead of electric locks, which I wasn’t big on. However the hotel itself is quite safe. Has 3 showers on the first floor available at anytime, so long as no one is using it.plus a bath which is designated for specific times. Great stay if you’re solo. The area around is fairly convenient with a station and restaurants nearby. However the streets are dirty, and the vibe is so so. For the price though it’s worth it. I would definitely stay again

Would have considered this stay cheap and cheerful, however the facilities were dirty. The floors in the room were dusty and the showers were covered in mould. We paid for the with toilet option (does not include shower) and there was no soap in the bathroom. While the sheets appeared clean there were stains you could see on the mattress underneath. I think if the place were clean, I would have felt that it was good value.

The location is very central, which makes for easy access to Namba station and Dotombori. The hotel needs a lot of work and cleaning, there is dust and mold everywhere. BYO blanket and pillow, as the ones provided are disgusting and uncomfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful, and we appreciated their Osaka tips.

I'll preface this with the fact that this place is really cheap as well as close to a station. I'm ok with cheaper places, but the overall cleanliness and condition of the place left much to be desired. Stayed in a Japanese style room which was pretty bare bones which I didn't mind as I only needed the room for sleep. The room was overall clean enough, only complaint were the futons which probably need replacing as they were both stained and thin (side sleepers opt for a room with a bed) Shower/bath spaces are shared, the bath spaces are public, so there are separate time slots for men/women I did not try the bath, but the shower rooms I found were also dirty. To reiterate, place is very cheap, but facilities match that price point. If cleanliness is high on the scale of important things to you, maybe stay elsewhere. For all else who can look past that, this place does get the job done.

I liked that the property was right next to the train station. What I didn’t like is that my room became absolutely freezing at night to the point where I started wearing my thermal clothing that I only wear when I go skiing, I also didn’t like how I found hairs from some stranger on my bed or how my non smoking room reeked of cigarette smell. Overall my experience was not good at all but it makes sense for the cheap price, you get what you pay for.

If you're looking for a sterile, top-notch experience, keep looking; if you don't mind a little extra 'character' and grunge, this place will work fine. It smelled like second-hand smoke despite being a non-smoking hotel, and the walls were pretty dirty. But the sheets and floors and bathroom were clean, and everything worked fine. There is a bit of noise from out in the hallway (doors opening and closing), and from our room we could also hear the nearby trains coming and going from busy Shin-Imamiya (but hey, that's how *close* it is!). This is our second time staying here, so obviously we've found the excellent price, convenient location, useful facilities, and helpful staff more important than any negatives. And they've definitely improved their internet from the first time we came (a year and a half ago), so well done, Taiyo!
