R Hostel Namba south

This hostel had great facilities - there’s a nice shower and powder room to get ready and a super useful lift. Staff were extremely helpful and the event board/common room made it super easy to socialise. It’s the perfect environment for people looking to have fun in Osaka.

The hostel is around a 30mins walk from Namba/Dotonbori but there’s subway stations so close that it only takes 10 minutes to get there!

The location is great, not far from the centre only 10 minutes with train and 40 minutes walk! It’s super social so you can make friends easily🙏they also have an event board 😋

Nothing really I would change ! Maybe that it was sad to leave 🥲

Very social

The beds were very hot

The vibe was social and it was fairly quiet at night.

The area is definitely sketchy (by Japan standards) with an older crowd, some strange people on substances about but didn’t necessarily feel unsafe. It’s close to some food places but you’ll need to walk 30 mins or metro anywhere else. Not enough room anywhere. No room for luggage, not enough seats for everyone to sit down in the common area. Pretty sure it’s one of those places that doesn’t wash the pillows/duvet and just relies on the clean sheets to do the work. The bathrooms were fine but the towels for wiping surfaces and hand towels are old and don’t feel nice to use.
