1) Perhaps the rooms can be better if they can be locked. 2) Or lockers can be provided to safekeep valuable items

I did enjoy the stay in guesthouse tennoji! Excellent location . Close to JR and subway station. Close to busy areas in Osaka. Stable wifi. Nice and helpful staff . Though It was cramped to live in 6 ppl dorm, but it was still an enjoyable stay.

Amazing hostel in a traditional Japanese style. Great location, very helpful staff (made space for me even when they were fully booked and I couldn't find anywhere else to stay), and immaculately clean. Highly recommended

Guesthouse Tennoji was the best hostel/guesthouse that I have ever been to. The owner is nice, generous, and accommodating beyond belief. Our stay was very comfortable and very easy. I wish lots of future success to Guesthouse Tennoji.

I had the female dorm room on the first floor. Very clean, plenty of sinks and enough bathrooms, nice staff. It's also very close to a major train station.

This hostel is very clean and has a modern atmosphere. It is very cheap and worth more than what you pay! I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stay in Osaka.

I really did the right choice in selecting GuestHouse Tennoji to stay. The Guesthouse is very clean and comfortable - the best that I have ever stayed in. It's also near to the subway station. The owner, Mr. Hwang is extremely pleasant, kind, obliging & helpful. On seeing us with the 'extras' he offered to fetch us to Namba Stn to take a direct train to the airport. GH Tennoji is highly recommended to all travellers. Thank you Mr. Hwang

Best guesthouse experience in all of Asia so far. Feel like part of a family being there. Staff fluent in English, Korean, and Japanese. We shared a meal together and the staff even showed us around Osaka.

I love this hostel! The staff is very kind and fun. I stayed there once before, and the staff not only remembered me, but went out of their way to make me feel at home. It really feels more like staying with friends than at a hostel. It is very clean and secure, as well. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great host - friendly and welcoming. More of a hybrid guesthouse / hostel, with much more private bathroom facilities than most places.

I had a good stay at Guesthouse Tennoji. I stayed two nights in Dec 2011, sleeping in the Men's Japanese style room. The futon style bedding was comfy, clean, and looked brand new. The whole place opened in March 2011 as a guesthouse and was completely refurbished and decorated and is spotlessly clean throughout. The showers are really good. I didn't use the kitchen but it looked adequate and new! The owner was super friendly and welcoming too. 5 minutes walk to Tennoji station to get elsewhere.
