Great location, while in a quiet neighbourhood the fact that it’s around a 20 minute walk to the Dotonbori area is a huge plus. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. I personally did not mind the train noises at night but I can see while it might bother some people, furthermore they do mention it before you check in, so no excuses for the people who book here and then complain about the train noise. All in all, a great value for money.

One thing that stuck with me is when I first entered the room which my capsule was located in, there was a bad smell of feet, while the room was later aired out and this never happened again, it wasn’t a good first impression.

It was strategically located near 3 stations although it is quite a walk to the Shin-imamiya sta esp with luggage. They did help store our luggages after checking out as we want to explore the city. We got quite a big room, can open all our luggages without blocking our way. The room were comfortable and clean. Exceed my expectation

The only downside is the fact that it’s located under train tracks so it is noisy but it is good for short stay (1/2 nights). Besides the train stops after 12am and continue after 5am. If you spend most of your time at this hostel, it can be frustrating. Do note that they do give out earplugs for free.

The Hostel was clean and comfortable, lockers were on the larger side, able to fit a 75L Hiking bag and backpack in it with easy instructional code locks. Shared Bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The Kitchen/ Living areas were clean and accessible. Even though under a railway, I am a deep sleeper and it was unnoticeable.

I had been traveling since my home country for the last 12-15 hours between hot and cold temperaments. I was told my shoes stunk and I needed new shoes from one of the staff. The next day the new staff member offered me to shoe spray from behind the counter for them which the person previous did not. I apologised for my shoes but felt unwelcome at the start.

The capsules are devided in rooms of 6 which is nice. The shower is also nice and so is the staff. It is localized close to the Namba shopping district, and very close to a train station (foreshadowing). All and all, pretty good quality accomodations especially for the price.

However, there is the train issue. It is not like the train line is in a building close to the hotel. No. The roof of the rooms is the floor of the train line. Not only is the noise deafining, but the whole building shakes whenever a train passes by. (which is every couple of minutes) Still, if you're a heavy sleeper like me and dont mind it, it is worth it in my opinion. Would stay there again.

I liked the ambiance and total feel of the place. I also liked that it was close to some train stations: very useful. The staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my stay; even the train noise became comforting at some point. It was a pleasant experience.

I didn't like the fact that the cafe wasn't running. It would've been great if it was. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say.

I loved that the place is clean and looks nice! The place is aesthetic! Also the shower and restroom are well maintained. They even have a lot of hair dryer. There are also free shampoo, body wash and conditioner. Moreover, they have baskets where you can put clothes while taking a bath

I think it is a bit far from the subway station. Around 10 mins walk. It is manageable but if you have walked a whole day it might be a little tiring. The hostel is below the train tracks but we always go home late so we did not affect us much!

The staff was super nice and everything about hostel is great. It is clean, it has AC in the rooms and they even have shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom😍 Only thing is the railway noise (its writen in the description of the hostel) but they give you free earplugs if you want them and after some time you get used to the noise so it wasnt that bad. The price is super as well :D

Clean and nice. Good value for money. Location is good and close enough to city’s main street and to several metro stations.

Location is not the best noise wise if you’re a sensitive sleeper because of the trains above the hostel but I personally didn’t have any problem with that and staff offers free earbuds at reception.

Nice bed, nice area where you can relax. Showers have plenty of space. All ground floor.

Train noise till around 1am so if you are a light sleeper it’s not for you. Also you will hear this all day so if you have work to do in common area it could be an issue.

Due to some circumstances, I asked to change my room, and they were able to switch me to a different one as there was a bed available in the women's room.
