ありがとうございました！

夜遅くのチェックインでしたが、連絡の迅速さがありがたかったです。また、夜間の移動でかなり寒かったのですが、お部屋に入ると布団が敷いてあり、更に暖房まで入っていてすごく助かりました！外国の方がほとんどの利用者で本当にゲストハウスって感じでした。今回子どもの七五三のための遠方からの宿泊だったため素泊まりだったので良かったですが、がっつりお昼ごろからチェックインとなると、普通の家をゲストハウスにしている様子なので壁一枚隣が他の方の利用者で騒音など非常に気を遣います。また、一階は外の部屋以外部屋の番号が書いてなかったので間違えてトイレかと思い開けてしまいました。中の方が寝ていたので気づかれずに済みましたが、部屋の番号を書いて頂けると有り難いです(T ^ T)ですので総合評価星四つとしました！

혼자서 이용해서 그런지 아늑하고 아담한 민박집 같음 화장실과 욕실이 하나라 여러사람이 숙박하면 아침에 불편 할 수도 있음 일본 느낌이 나는 게스트 하우스 였고 쥔장 친절함 지하철까지 가려면 15 분정도 운동삼아 걸어가야함 난방기 잘 작동하였고 편안하게 지내다 옴

Great experience

Staying in Shin-Osaka Backpacker's Hostel was a great experience. The place is perfect for backpackers; a kitchen, a small living room and a restroom are shared. We had a traditional room with futons. It was clean and nice, just like the common areas. The keeper was very helpful and there was a grocery store near the hostel. Two minorities were thin walls (everything, including noise of the planes can be heard) and location. The place is quite far away from the city centre but luckily there is a subway station nearby. It takes about 15 min to get to Namba station where all the central places are located.

Comfy beds in this unexpected night stay!

We had to find a place on the very night of our stay since we missed the shinkansen to go back to Tokyo! This tiny hostel is kinda far from Shin-Osaka Station, especially with all the luggage we had to carry, but we were warmly welcomed. It was a bit like a maze inside, which I personally liked (it had a lot of character and our stop there made for a fun bit of adventure to tell!). We slept soundly: the place was very clean, the shower's water was hot, the room was even kinda spacious for japanese accomodation standards! And, most important of all... the beds were extra comfy! Thank you!
