Imano Osaka Shinsaibashi Hostel

I stayed in the women’s room On the 4th floor. Clean spacious . The bathroom had 2 showers so use it when ya can ! Staff was helpful in holding on to my bags before and after check out. Not in a noisy area but close to a lot of shopping and food. 10 min walk from the Metro

I really wanted to like this place, but my stay ended up being pretty disappointing. The location was tougher than expected, it is about a 12–20 minute walk from the nearest train station, which feels really long when you are dragging luggage around. The room itself was not very comfortable either. It felt stuffy and poorly ventilated, so coming back after a long day out was not as restful as I hoped. The bathrooms were another issue. There are only two very small ones for everyone, which meant waiting quite a while just to take a shower. What affected me the most, though, was the service. One night, it was drizzling and I had misplaced my key card, so I couldn’t get into the lobby. I knocked on the door and the receptionist clearly saw me, but didn’t do anything. I ended up standing in the rain until another guest came by and tapped me in. Honestly, I expected at least a bit of basic help. And on top of that, the replacement fee for the lost key card was the same price as a one-night stay, which feels extremely overpriced. Overall, I left pretty disappointed and wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Rooms were clean, bathrooms as well. I really liked the curtains that gave you privacy. Location is also great! However, I think it’s weird that you have to make up your own bed, especially if you arrive after a long day and just wanna lay down. You’d expect to receive this service when booking a stay.

Perfect location I couldn’t recommend more! Communal eating area with plenty of seating, and is a cafe/ restaurant in the day too! The hostel offers breakfast and is so close to all the clothes shops which lead into the even bigger shops in Osaka. Such a nice chill area and out of the hustle and bustle. The hostel was super clean and staff were very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here!

Private room was perfect! Excellent location, nice staff, very cheap washing machines and lovely atmosphere. Very modern and great value considering its location. The mattress was firm but for a couple of nights absolutely grand. If you’re active enough in Japan, trust me, you should be able to sleep on a floor!! Highly recommended

This place is part hostel part burger Cafe. As of the time of writing this, I’ve just ordered a burger so I cannot rate my experience. The atmosphere of this place on the other hand is spectacular. It has a very chill morning vibe, and played a lot of hip hop/reggae as the day went on. Working staff was very nice, attentive, and open to assisting whenever possible. I would recommend booking this place for a solid location and experience. Rooms were clean and secluded for minimum light exposure.

Location and price are amazing. Its true you make your own bed. Only "risk" is being a light sleeper(ppl come and leave the room a lot) you won't know the ppl in your room so get a luggage lock as needed.

I didn’t like this hostel at all. first of all the stuff is nice but very poorly organised. first they couldn’t find reservation, then suddenly after check in was already done, had to redo it again - it all took time and for me it was just waste of freetime - I’m tourist on vacation. the dorm is arranged in a small building, there is no space neither for shoes, nor for luggage. inside the dorm it’s smelly, aircon working non stop and fully cluttered by people’s shoes, luggage, stuff. the toilets and showers are shared and of poor hygiene. it’s smelly and not cleaned often. the location is superb but regarding osaka size and it’s pedestrian friendly policy - you can choose many nicer places around. I don’t recommend this dorm.
