Room was small and had only the basic necessities which is fine when you’re spending 99% of your time seeing the city. It was located not far from Shinsekai and a train station. Only thing remotely close to a “drawback” was there were a lot of sketchy people outside and around the property but none of them ever approached us or even acknowledged us so it’s not really a problem. Great hotel for travellers, would book again.
the only complaint i have is that the bathroom was outside of the room and shared with the whole floor - and the showers are on the ground floor for everyone. it’s perfect for a short stay in japan and the room had good facilities!
its right in the middle of everything. i had a really nice time staying here. the showering facilities are so clean and i felt very welcomes by staff.they gave me an extra half hour to check out and were very understanding. clean bed sheets and toilets too. amazing value for money.
You got what You pay! Really close to the metro station, small restaurants and combinis!!! The only not so good is that You can SEE a lot of granphas drinking alcohol all day but they truth the don't do anything i mean event they don't notice You!!!
Exactly what i needed for a quick stay in Osaka. The sofa bed is VERY small. I’m 5’3” and thought it was too little to be used as a bed of any kind. Showers were clean. Laundry machines clean. Microwave available, no kitchen. Self check-in & self check-out. No keys. All codes to get in. Super convenient.
I got the single room and it felt a bit small then what I expected but it was still fine for one person. They provided fast wifi for each individual room. The room and the hotel was pretty clean. The best thing about the hotel is the location. A short walk from a metro osaka station and a Jr station, it's really convenient. From my experience it was pretty quiet even at night.
Osaka doesn't always seem friendly. But you'll notice the city's warmth go out of the air as you approach this welcomeless budget horror movie set.
Boasting an unlit exterior with a door that redirects you to a joyless apartment building, you'll love arriving after sunset to find no staff or signs of life. You'll love the rejected Choose-Your-Own-Adventure plotline as you confront the Door of Numbers, sashay past Unmanned Brutalist Front Desk, and navigate the Unnecessarily Creepy Halls of Extreme Heat.
Punch the right numbers and you'll escape into Room. Enjoy lavish amenities like Bed and Ineffective Air Conditioner.
Working on a bleak novel or screenplay? This austere ode to claustrophobia and sanitarium-saturated nightmares has you covered.
Short on laughs? Just try to cancel your reservation. Maybe you won't be laughing as management jerks you around — but someone will be.

Upon arrival to this hotel, we had realised it was in the ‘slum of Japan’ which is not a great start. The area surrounding the hotel feels dodgy and there are lots of undesirable people around. Inside the hotel, it is basic as the pictures would suggest. We found our bed was dirty but the room was spacious with a fridge and a large TV. The shared bathrooms were basic but clean,equipped with washing and drying machines and hair dryers aswell as toiletries. We left this hotel early as 2 men in casual clothes came and knocked on our door asking for the code to enter. They said it was broken and needed to be reset, but we found it was perfectly fine. We asked for proof they worked at the hotel which they couldn’t provide and only showed us a laptop. This made us feel unsafe, on top of the hotel being in a bad location and dirty so we decided to book somewhere else. I also received an email from an address that was not listed on Bestie’s website or social media sites. Upon leaving the hotel, we spoke to a girl at the reception desk through Google Translate who assured us that they did work for the hotel and had been into our room earlier in the day when we were out to try and fix the issue??? Which we weren’t told about! She said we could return to our room but we declined. This was very unprofessional, even with a language barrier, the need to enter our room when we were out or explanation of why they needed the room PIN could have been explained through Google Translate.

I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately just didn’t meet my hopes. The area is very dirty, so many homeless people, rubish everywhere, rats, bugs, and just filth. I did not feel safe walking around at night as a female solo traveller. It was far from central Osaka. Yes there is transit near by but expensive to get around. There is a big donki near by which is nice but other then that not worth it.
For the room mine smelled so bad of smoke. I have asthma and I was having a hard time breathing. I wanted to leave it was so bad. It was nice to have a room to myself but would have enjoyed a none smoke room. I texted the hotel but they didn’t get back to me until the last day.
When it came to check in, I got to drop off my bags early before check in which is nice but when it came to check out, I couldn’t leave my bags for a few hours. Which doesn’t really make sense to me.
All in all I would not recommend this place. No matter the cheaper price. It’s not worth it. I honestly wish I could get my money back.
If you look past the prison vibe and the slightly dubious neighbourhood, it's actually alright and very good value for money. The single rooms are very small with barely space to stand. The showers are very good. Value for money is excellent but don't expect much luxury, good if you're planning on being out all day and just sleeping here.
