The Stay Osaka Shinsaibashi - GRAND HOSTEL LDK Osaka Shinsaibashi from 2025 February 28th

The private room with attached bathroom which has separated toilet & shower + basin. Room is pretty spacious and the shared kitchen has everything you need and the vibe is great for backpackers. Japanese breakfast is a 500yen voucher for you to redeem at a nearby restaurant which is quite nice.

-quiet area, but still close to walk to main attractions -large kitchen to prepare or heat meals if needed -coffee and tea available all day -coin op laundry facilities -our private room had everything we needed- large shower and sink room with separate toilet area -we were early and able to leave our bags in the lobby and lounge using WiFi while we waited for check in -directly across the street from Lawson convenience store, which had wonderful treats

The property lets you select which type of breakfast you would prefer during check-in. I chose the Japanese option and was given coupons which I used at a Japanese restaurant within 300 meters of the property. The location of the property is very strategic. It's close to two Osaka Metro stations which makes it easy when your walking with your luggage to and from the station from the airport. Because it is around the Shinsaibashi area, you are very close to a lot of food and shopping options. The Glico Man which a lot of tourists go and visit is within a 10-minute walk.

The facility is pretty clean and has a nice common room to eat and relax! The location for me was amazing as you can walk to the next metro station in 2 minutes and the neighborhood was nice, too. In about 15 minutes by foot you can reach the very lively area of Dotombori. The staff was always nice and helpful. I was surprised at how silent and considerate the people in my room were. At night it was really silent and I could sleep well. As a solo traveller I can totally recommend it.

The room was spacious for putting the luggage, and the environment felt safe and comfortable. Moreover, the female shower-only area was superb, with amenities from shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer, and even a straightener! The bed, unlike some reviews, was comfortable, and so was the space around it; it's like you have your own small space for yourself beyond the exterior space for the bags available. The hotel location was great, a few minutes from the famous Namba and Dotonbori street and shopping areas. Also, 3 stops away from Osaka station is great for day trips from Osaka. For those coming with the subway, there is a convenient exit with an elevator 8 mins away from the hostel
