Compared to Hostels in the countryside, this hostel is dirty (I\\\'m not sure about other hostels in big cities in Japan). Location is good, but overall the common area is poor, bedrooms, kitchen and social area are dirty. Staff is great tough very helpful. We had the private room tatami on the floor (very dirty) and beds looked like the sheets haven\\\'t been changed.

The facility looks really cheap overall. The lockers in the room are terrible, it can be break into by anyone with a travel tool set. The bed curtain hangers are make by some wire.

So far from JR Namba. The room and bed not clean .only have supermarket shop near the hotel. Not easy to find it if u go by JR coz JR station very big and have many exits. The better is you have to buy Local ticket to go here directly. Rooms are on the second floor, that is diffecult if u have big luggages. Better have free wifi and kitchen to cook own food.

Very uncomfortable night's sleep, and left a lot to be desired regarding cleanliness in both the dorms and bathroom. Very quiet hostel so meeting people tricky, and very little social activities organised by hostel. One to avoid in my opinion.

The hostel does not allow check in after 10:00pm, they have nobody and they would charge penalty. On average, the staff are kind, especially the Japanese girl. Compare where we've lived the Kyoto, it was a bit worse, not that clean. Especially that my male friend find blood on the sheet which made him... I don't know what to say... Japanese toilet are the best in the world, they have washlet but not in this hostel. Nevertheless, it locate good andis convenient for trips.

Great location to Namba area. Good value, but there are steep stairs to walk up and down for the kitchen, shower, and common room. The WiFi comes and goes, but it is free. I would definitely stay there again.

People who runt he hostel are nice. Location is excellent, close to the very lively Donburi district and Namba Station or Sukagawa Station. I recommend this hostel.

The staff and other guests at Koma were fantastic. We had lots of fun with them in a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Walking to JR and subway stations from the hostel is easy, as is walking to busy shopping areas and multiple restaurants, cafes and bars. There wasn't much nightlife after 1am, but the fun atmosphere in the hostel made up for this. I would recommend this hostel for anyone who likes to meet people, but guests and staff were also careful to be quiet at nighttime.

A little bit far if walk from JR with big bag. Space limited and no elevator. Cleanliness is ok. Value for Money is ok.

Great place to stay! Not too far from the JR station, just a 3 minute walk, and about twice as far to Dotombori. Don't be fooled by the improperly located KOMA on GoogleMaps, someone must have messed up. This one can be found if you search specifically via the address, which is close to the canal.
