IM Guest House Reviews

Very friendly owner.. Keep smiling.. No hair dryer :)

The staff was so friendly and helpful!

It's a great place to stay for a few nights while travelling round Osaka. It's not too far from the station which makes getting around easy and the staff are wonderful.

Pricey for location which is quite a way out and a good 10/15min walk from public transport Hostel is old/small and not particularly clean Wouldn't recommend to be honest, lots of cheaper places available more centrally located

Although it was small and the bunks were a little unstable, the place was well organised and comfortable. individual electric blankets on the beds solved the common hostel problem of finding a room temperature to suit everyone. The main stand out point was the effort and helpfulness of the incredibly friendly staff. I'f I go back to Osaka I'll definitely stay there again.

Nothing too spectacular but great price with walkable access to the Osaka loop line.

Wonderful Staff! Very friendly/helpful & comfortable atmosphere in the common room, and a lot of the guests hung out together there. Average facilities. Wifi was great, and there was a computer and plenty of places to charge your electronics. Basic shower/toilet, I stayed in a 4 bed room. The beds were a little small, and the rooms were a little smelly, but I didn't mind at all. It was a good price. If you don't mind staying a little bit away from everything, this is a great place to stay!

The staff here is great, they are all super helpful and know the area very well. Nami is always ready to welcome travelers with a warm smile, and great hospitality.

Tired place in an uninspiring location

Its too far away from the going-out areas, but if you want to do sightseeing its okay, the area is nice and relaxed. Its quiet a walk from the next subway. The lady there is really nice and cheerfull, there is a common room where you can hang out and meet other backbackers, its ususally quite though. The dorm is small, but okay.

Lovely Namu will really make you feel welcome, she is fantastic and so helpful! Thank you for making me feel so at home.

Good- Hostel solid stay, we had 3 people, she gave us our own room no extra charge... The heated beds are class. Location is OK it is on the JR loop which is nice. over all just good, not bad. The lady has 3 languages down ( Korean, English and Japanese). It was a busy time (new years) so this was one of our only choices but it turned out to be lovely.

Terrible experience. We got locked out in the middle of the night by an outer door we were never given a key to. It took us 45 minutes to get someone to come open it. Instead of apologizing they blamed the other guests for locking the door and were very hostile. (The staff at check in was fine.) Location is not great (you need to walk 10 minutes through a small shopping arcade after taking the train to a non-main station), facilities not great, wifi didn't work.

If you're used to staying in slightly scruffy hostels and are looking for a quiet place with nice staff, then this would be your place. I had a single dormitory room. It was clean, warm, no TV or amenities, shared bath facilities (also clean), with a common room down on the first floor (TV, one commputer). There were some nice people staying there at the same time. There is apparently a rooftop, but I didn't check it out.

The owner is very friendly and helpful; really make us feel at home. She also gives good advices and information about the places of interest. The location is great - near a shopping arcade. Frankly speaking, I feel that I enjoy shopping at this shopping arcade more than the larger shopping districts like Minami. Some suggestions for the guesthouse though - the kitchen can be improved by providing slippers to wear. Hope that there is a electric kettle too.
