This place is somehow different. The building is kind of grubby and fits perfectly into the neighborhood with homeless people. Dangerous?Seriously, how dangerous can a place be in Japan? Me as a woman,I never felt unsafe there! In the contrary, how amazing to experience another side of Japan, not that overly perfect!Staff there is amazingly friendly and helpful, towels get changed whenever you want, bikes are for free! Never had a better deal, really enjoyed staying there, will be back for sure!

It was an great experience in staying in the hotel mikado, Staff hospitality was good and they can speak English too. Its a comfortable dormitory cum single room with separate shower facility. Good Chinese restaurant was easy accessible from hotel. Kitchen facility provided for breakfast preparation was well. Girls in our group felt comfortable. Wi-Fi facility make us to plan our trip accordingly. Totally we enjoy our stay with Mikado.

Overal the Hostel was fairly nice but the neighborhood in Osaka isn't the nicest. I stayed here because l had a flight to catch the next day, so in that sense the location is great. If you stay here know that the neighborhood is scary and dirty. I recommend leaving the area and hanging out in Namba.

I really enjoy my stay in this hostel. Small room but with everything I could need inside. I slept well, and the location is not bad as you are close to a subway station. Just a thing, restroom were not really clean !

First of all,every staff is helpful,bright and very kind. The atmosphere around the hotel is not very good but inside is wonderful. I think that it has everything all the backpackers need.

Good location at crossing of a subway line and JR Loop line, staff speaks good English, free wi-fi + free computers in the lobby and in the room, free bycicle and cheap price, what else ? Exit the hostel, turn left and then 1. turn left, cross the road, pass the small tunnel and you arrive in a neighborhood with many restaurants 2. turn right, walk about 150 m and there is a supermarket on the right. many sushi/sashimi and meals are discounted from 8 PM but be on time as many locals know it !

More equipment in the kitchen would be good. Kitchen is rather incomplete.

I like private room and especially if i am travelling alone. So Hotel Mikado meets my priority requirements. The room was equipped with very basic, bed, linen, tv and mini fridge. Though i must say, their toilet is shared by both male and female, it would be nice if separate rooms are available as I found it quite an hassle to take lift all the way up to 8th floor to use the female only toilet.

the room was so small....that we couldn't open the suitcase inside the room! moreover we were a couple and we found a twin bed one upon the other that was really incomfortable.....but of course you have a television and a fridge inside the room! bathroom is shared with others but was not very nice... Anyway I would reccomend this hotel to people that don't want to spend a lot of money , for people who are travelling alone but not for couple! the personnel of hotel was very nice and kind people!

The hotel's location is close enough from Shin-Immamiya station and easy to find based on directions given Mikado hotel. The hotel staff is quite friendly, and hotel's services is quite good with reasonable hotel rates.

The is one of the best budget hotels I have stayed at. Although I expected no frills, they still provided comfortable bedding, towels, face tissues and even a toothbrush plus toothpaste kit. The room was small but satisfactory, and even had a fridge inside. The shower facilities were good, with a cdecent changing area. It was clean and gave plenty of room to towel yourself dry. There are also nice little eateries nearby that serve food that the locals eat.

It's a hotel for not so wealthy business people and upstarters, so there are mostly Japanese staying there(which usually is a better experience).The service is really great. Everything is included or free.They even have a spa.Many free computers to use. Facilities are clean.Staff is really friendly and helpful.And for this location (Nishinari-ku,the whole-of-Japan ghetto for the unemployable), the atmosphere suits perfectly.It's not dangerous for tourists in this area.Traffic connection perfect.

The staff was incredibly friendly, not only helping you where ever they could but also handing out free treats, such as cake. A important plus point was the fact that Hotel Mikado has a japanese bath which every hotel guest can use freely; and should really be tried at least once! The only negative that comes to mind is that some corridors smelled of smoke.

This place is superb value for money. The hotel is well-organised and the staff are really helpful. The rooms have shared bathrooms but that didn't matter because they are so clean and you can get some privacy as all the cubicles are lockable. This place has a kitchen, great for making your own breakfast/dinner and there's a Japanese public bath downstairs. The location is fantastic in a cool area of Osaka with old markets and some good food places. The Dotombori area is only 2 metro stops away.
