&AND HOSTEL SHINSAIBASHI EAST

I was worried about staying with my family in a hostel. However, the room description and customer reviews convinced me. The family room with a terrace was basically on the non-existent 8th floor of a 7-story hotel, so we had to after 7 floors by elevator, climb the stairs to the top floor. However, the bonus was the only room on the floor, spacious, with the possibility of storing a lot of luggage and as a bonus a huge, romantic terrace with seating and a hammock for the guests of this room only. Too bad the temperatures during our stay reached 35 ° C and the terrace could only be used late in the evening, when it cooled down a bit. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it.

The beds in our twin economy room were by far the biggest we had during our whole trip! We really enjoyed the space after all the cramped hotel rooms. There wasn't much space apart from the beds but that's what we were expecting – everything was true to the pictures. We ended up not using the kitchen facilities so I can't comment on that, but had no problems doing laundry. The staff were also really lovely and helpful!

Have three subway stations nearby(three different lines), within walking distance, so you can easily go anywhere by subway. The room size is good enough for one person, equipped with a hairdryer, and towel(at least for this type of room), and a TV to watch which is pretty good. The AC is not the central type, so you can adjust the room temperature by yourself. They have a kitchen for guests to use.

The location was very cute! The common rooms were very nice, there were public kitchen amenities, as well as board games and books. The room itself was very charming and the bed was great. At the reception, there was an inspiration book available for recommended places to eat as well as things to do. Walking to areas like Dotonbori and Osaka Palace was certainly doable. Metro stops were somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes away. The Family Mart on the corner of the street is nice.

Nice common area, comfy beds, free coffee, tea and drinking water. Some people may find the room small but it is pretty much the standard for a Japanese hostel. Temperature in the room was perfect. The position is not in what is considered the core of the city but I found it very convenient to walk around and you have several options for public transports. I want to say special thanks to a staff member, she went beyond her duties to fix an issue unrelated to the facility, you were great!
