Loved my stay here. I was there during cherry blossom season so absolutely loved the park a street over. It's a small walk to the metro and surrounded by the amazing Osaka lifestyle - especially the thrift stores and amazing food. One of the cleanest hostels I've stayed at, the curtains on the beds were high quality and nice hanging space within the bed area. The staff were so lovely, they answered the many questions I had and was always greeted with a smile and hello every time I walked in and out :)

The beds were quite hard (one of the thinnest mattresses I've slept on) and there was no lockers/space for luggage. I was working remotely so was slightly disappointed with the communal area on each floor and would have to purchase something from the cafe/restaurant to sit and work on the ground floor.

Cleanliness, quiet, respectful, safe, comfy as beds, nice bathroom

Reception staff really friendly. Super helpful ... except for ONE skinny guy who sold a booking extension I needed to another guest , after I'd inquired first. Happened right under my nose while I was sitting in reception listening, trying to sort out a complicated money transfer on my phone. Yes, I know about first in best dressed, but thought it was really poor form buddy! He could easily have taken less than one minute to check in with me to see how I was doing and if I still needed the booking, but he didn't! So checked out and went elsewhere as you do!

I would definitely recommend staying in this hostel. The location is very convenient. It is a walkable from the Namba station which is nice. The beds were confortable enough, I appreciated that the locker box with each bed was big enough to fit a laptop. The breakfast was ncie and definitely worth the money. It is also very nice that the accommodation can borrow you for free a power adapter.

The only negative thing I can think of is that the shared room was in general quite small and there was not that much space for luggage storage. Nevertheless, it was not any big issue so I do not consider it as a big negative.

The location of this hostel is great — it’s within walking distance to Dotonburi but far enough away that there aren’t crowds or lots of noise. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!

The mattress is pretty thin and can be a bit uncomfortable. There also aren’t big lockers to store your luggage, only a lockbox in the bed area for small personal items.

The property was very well located, easily reachable and close to public transports. Great hostel and kind staff ! The facilities were very nice and clean too. Special mention for the breakfast that was very good !

The two downside I would say is, first, the fact that you have to pay for towels… quite inconvenient in this kind of places where you don’t really have place to hang them over anywhere. And second, the pillow was not confortable at all.

Very clean, the absolute centre of Shinsaibashi area, wonderfully close to everything you might need. The amenities are great, though you have to purchase towels at additional cost.

The beds are hard, but that’s a given for Europeans visiting Japan.

Imano Osaka is by far the best hostel I have stayed in, the location is awesome. So close to the train station, street food and shopping locations. Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Communication was easy and the community areas down stairs are fabulous I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone and everyone!!

There is not one fault at this hostel, I had the best time ever. As a solo female traveller I felt so comfortable and safe.

Staff were friendly and spoke English well. The rooms and facilities were very clean. I also felt very safe and secure. You need a keycard to access the elevator and the individual rooms, so I felt very safe in my room. The bathrooms were really clean, and they provided shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. However, other amenities need to be bought. Location is in a quiet neighborhood, but a close 10 minute walk to the hustle and bustle of Namba/Dotonburi area. It’s easy to find and close to transit lines as well.

Leaving your luggage didn’t seem very secure, as they were just left in the hallway of the ground floor. I chose to use a coin locker instead to store my luggage outside of check in/check out.

Everything was good and well organized except for the clean up frequency. Unfortunately, some customers made lots of mess in the bathroom. The toilets were nasty and the sink was dirty often. It is not the hotel's fault, but the mess was there for pretty long. Maybe they need to clean up more frequently for those bad manner guests.

Fantastic location near to the Dotonburi, and easy to get to via metro and busses. Very clean and guests were considerate. Good bathroom/shower facilities and the pods were spacious.

Only downside is the vents in the pods were near to pipes meaning you could hear running water every so often from floors above. I would recommend ear plugs for this, but I think the venue can provide them for free
