뮤직 유니 스트리트 백패커스 호텔

Affordable place to stay. It is a 7 minute walk from Shonai Station, and takes around 30 min to get to Osaka station from there. Staff was nice and can speak English.

I spent 3 nights here during my trip in Japan and have never felt so at home! It’s very small, however this means you become friends with literally everyone staying there! There’s 2 common room spaces which were great! I also was put into a little attic-style room in the dormitory, meaning I had my own private space and could lock my belongings up for safety. The owner is the loveliest person- he was always asking what my plans were and giving advice, and always up for a chat! He also hosted a sake night on Friday night, and every morning made tea and coffee for everyone, and was constantly giving out little snacks and biscuits! It was a little outside the city centre, but the closest metro line was only 10 min walk away literally down one straight road, so very simple, and the train runs until really late. It was a more residential area so a lot quieter (which I liked!) and very Japanese restaurants and cafes around as there weren’t many other tourists nearby. I 100% recommend this hostel, I had a great time! :)

I chose it bcoz I wanted to be in the suburbs 😀, tested it for a night and would extend if I liked it. But nope, not for me, there was an oil stove/heater, yes thst is right 😀. It smelled really strong, I could not sleep properly. Other than that the place okayand the staff was great [typical Japanese hospitality].

락커 없습니다 짐 도둑맞을거 아니면 들고다니셔야해요. 사장님은 굉장히 친절하시나 객관적으로 좋은 숙박시설은 아닙니다. 역에서 한참 걸어가야 숙소가 있고요, 샤워시설, 화장실 등도 노후화되어있습니다. 진짜 잠만 주무실 분만 오시면 될 것 같아요.

Pleasant time there.
