The hostel was super clean, well equipped (except for forks and spoons), and the private family rooms were very spacious. They offered almost everything that regular hotels in Japan do but for a lower price. We liked the access to kitchen so we could warm dinner and add on to our breakfast.

Check out is early (10am) and they seem pretty strict with that. The elevator gets crowded around that time as many people are leaving. Our reservation included breakfast which was ok - 2 slices of bread, sliced turkey/ham, choice of jam/butter or chocolate cream, a small juice box, and a cup of coffee. It was simple and limited; I don't think it is worth paying extra for it.

The beds in our twin economy room were by far the biggest we had during our whole trip! We really enjoyed the space after all the cramped hotel rooms. There wasn't much space apart from the beds but that's what we were expecting – everything was true to the pictures. We ended up not using the kitchen facilities so I can't comment on that, but had no problems doing laundry. The staff were also really lovely and helpful!

The location wasn't the most convenient, it seemed to mostly be a residential/business area and all the metro stations were a short walk away. On the other hand, there were stops for multiple lines walkable distance away, so getting around was still easy enough.

This was my favorite hostel during my 4 weeks in Japan. Perfect for a solo traveler, with helpful friendly staff. Good location in Osaka. I booked a double room with private bathroom, and it felt like a step up from other hostels where I've booked single rooms. Overall I liked the arrangements and enjoyed my stay there.

Only minor things, like sometimes there could be very long wait for the elevator. Not suprising considering many guests that stays there. A little bit of a walk to the closest metro stops, but not that big of a deal.

Have three subway stations nearby(three different lines), within walking distance, so you can easily go anywhere by subway. The room size is good enough for one person, equipped with a hairdryer, and towel(at least for this type of room), and a TV to watch which is pretty good. The AC is not the central type, so you can adjust the room temperature by yourself. They have a kitchen for guests to use.

Their luggage storage is an open area near the front door, you can drop/pick up the luggage without providing any tags, and all you can hope is the guests won't pick the wrong one

Modern building, nice room, comfortable bed. Air conditioning works great. Shower is good, and fresh sheets and towels are available every few days. Shared kitchen has everything you need. Family Mart and Lawson are just around the corner, while 7-Eleven is a 4 min walk and Life supermarket is a 9 min walk.

Location is decent, but it requires transferring subway lines to reach Namba or Umeda. The area doesn’t have many restaurants. Additionally, there’s only one refrigerator for the entire building, limiting the amount of groceries you can store for cooking.

The location was very cute! The common rooms were very nice, there were public kitchen amenities, as well as board games and books. The room itself was very charming and the bed was great. At the reception, there was an inspiration book available for recommended places to eat as well as things to do. Walking to areas like Dotonbori and Osaka Palace was certainly doable. Metro stops were somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes away. The Family Mart on the corner of the street is nice.

We had some issues drying our clothes. There are two washing machines and two drying machines. The drying machine takes twice as long as the washing machine. So if you wash your clothes in the late afternoon, there can be quite the line for the dryer. At around 11 PM we gave up and just spread out all our wet clothes through the bathroom, hoping they'd air dry.

The property was amazing, have a very comfortable common area and an excellent location in Osaka near the main turistic attractions, everything was very clean and spacious, the beds had their own privacy with light and a charge point even a safe box. As an experiment travel with more of 30 countries travelled I will %100 reccomend this hostal as the first option to backpackers coming to Osaka everything was really on point and makes me feel like in home. I need to mention an special staff member called Harukal, she always have the best disposition and help me a lot during my stay, help me translating a lot between Japanese and English and help me solving a couple of situations, she really was worried about my stay. In Japan by myself, without speaking Japanese don’t know what I woulded do without her! Thank u :))

Nothing all good

I had an amazing experience at this hostel in Osaka! Not only was it incredibly clean and comfortable, with a great location but the staff were also exceptionally friendly and helpful. I lost my backpack at the airport, and the staff assisted me by calling the airport and ensuring that the information about my missing luggage was relayed to the hostel. I only stayed for two nights before moving to another hostel that couldn’t accept my backpack if it was found. However, the staff at &AND HOSTEL SHINSAIBASHI EAST were so helpful and agreed to stay in contact with the airport and receive my luggage even after I had checked out. A few days after my stay, I received an email from the hostel informing me that they had received my backpack and would keep it safe until I could pick it up. Their kindness and excellent service truly stood out. I highly recommend this hostel!

Excellent location, a short walk from several subway lines. Hostel is next door to a convenience store, which is also great. The building is new, modern, and well-maintained. There is a shared kitchen with free use of stove, drinking water, hot water kettle, microwave, and refrigerator (although the fridge is full depending on the amount of guests using it). There is also a paid washer/dryer. The room itself is small but sufficient for 2 people. There is a small desk/dresser. The bathroom is the standard Japanese bathroom with a tub and shower, as well as a toilet with bidet. Room and bathroom are clean and well-maintained. Would definitely consider booking here again, and would recommend it to my friends and family.

Friendly staff, family mart beside the hotel, a few minutes walk to 3 different metro stations, clean rooms, doors were a bit thin, but overall a great stay! 😊 There's a communal kitchen which we never used cause we dine out always. Extra thanks to the friendly warm staff. Room size was bigger than other hotels in Japan. We opened our luggages without problem and it could stay open w/o blocking walkways inside the room.

Doors were a bit thin.
