"Pros: The building is so beautiful, located in a vast park by the river. The staff work until 11pm so check-in is very easy. Infos of many activities can be found in the lobby. Canteen is comfortable with free hot or cold drinks. There seems no convenient store nearby but indeed you can find a huge supermarkert with 5 mins walk. Overall it is a good option when you can't find any hostel in Osaka city. Note: Mirror equipped in the dorm is good. Cons: - Cost 20-30 mins from Osaka city and then 10 mins walk. - only public bath with limited opening time( 6-8am and night) - Eating in the dorm is not allowed, only in canteen on 1F. - Room key is not allowed to bring outside. For students this may be good but for backpackers is kind of weird. - No curtain for every bed but fine. - For tall people, getting hurt easily on the beck when entering in or out from the bunk beds with low height." ~Hung
