"This hostel is definitely one of the better ones that have just been renovated. One of the biggest perks is having a shared bathroom but having a private toilet room and private shower room as well as separate men and women bathrooms.
Upon our arrival around 10pm, the front desk clerk was very helpful and informed us of how to get in when the front desk has closed. They were extremely helpful in getting us checked in, giving us the wifi pw, etc.

"Great place to stay right in the heart of Osaka. Whether it's midnight cravings or an early morning breakfast, you'll find it right at your doorstep, with a bunch of great places nearby. On top of that, the staff are top-notch and the service is excellent. I never felt like I left home here, such warmth and such nice people I met. Highly recommend, and I'll probably visit again soon."

A stylish, modern boutique hotel in the heart of Shinsaibashi — just a 3-minute walk from the subway and steps from endless shopping, restaurants, and Dotonbori (10-min stroll). Rooms are spotlessly clean, comfortably sized for Japan, with excellent beds, powerful showers, and thoughtful touches like high-quality amenitie

We stayed in a 4-beds room, all furniture is in good condition. The setting is same as shown. The room has some spaces to open up 2 large suitcases. The washroom and shower room are separate, and towels are provided. I will suggest to add some hooks in the shower room for handing the towels.

really nice decorated hotel, very clean room, size of room is big, good service, worth the price to stay here if you are in osaka, only downside for this, is the breakfast, which i think the variety could be a little bit more, i meant at least should change everyday, but overall, we extremely like this hotel.

The hostel is easy to locate near JR Fukushima station, it is also easy to walk to the underground station Umeda/Osaka (10-15 minutes). I lived in the female 4-person dormitory and it was very cozy, everyone was friendly. The facilities are great. There was even a takoyaki party during my stay and it was fun. I will stay here again when I go to Osaka next time.

Such a wonderful experience I had in my stay at J-hoppers Universal. Staffs were so nice and helpful, the bed was comfortable and clean although I always hit my head to the ceiling of bottom bed lol.
Kitchen helped me so much since I like to make meals by myself, and it was big and clean.
I enjoyed my stay in J-hoppers universal so much and definitely will choose to stay here again next time when I go to osaka.

Facilities are very new and clean, despite the fact that everything is compact. It's much better than other hostels in Nara . The location is good too as it is close to JR station where you can also find a cheap supermarket Maxvalu.
