Picnic Hostel Osaka

Good price for the amenities offered. Each floor is a dormitory. I stayed on the second floor. The beds are huge, I think the biggest hostel beds I've ever seen. Plenty of space, quite hight, a curtain, a shelf next to it for your things, and a locker, all in the same space. The locker is small, so you need to bring a padlock. My small backpack fit after removing some items, but a medium-sized backpack won't. Air conditioning, and the showers include soap and shampoo. Small kitchen with a single burner and a couple of pots, a microwave, and a refrigerator. They offer laundry service for ¥700 (wash and dry). Located just a 20-minute walk from Dotonbori. Recommended place to spend a couple of nights and explore Osaka 😄

In the shower on the second-floor dorm, it's difficult to regulate the hot water. It goes from cold to boiling every few seconds. It could be improved

A completely silent elevator. All the amenities are clean and everything is fine. There were hangers for clothes.

The neighbors didn't clean up after themselves in the shower, the guys left their long hair in the sink. That's why it was unpleasant.

The staff— Hikaru-san was so nice, speaks English, and super welcoming and thorough with the check-in and you can socialize with fellow guests as well! Luggages are also allowed to get place prior and after check in if your flight’s too early or late so you can explore easier. The accommodation’s accessible to almost everything it’s so convenient. I loved my stay!

Among the cheapest places to stay I've seen in Japan. Staff was friendly at check-in.

For me personally, this crossed the limit of what Im willing to skimp on to have a cheap place to stay. My bed didn't have any form of safe, so there was no way to store valuables. This seemed to differ between beds, not sure if you can see the distinction when booking. There was also only one bathroom and shower on my floor, with sliding doors that didn't really close with more than a hatch.
