the place looks like someone\'s house exploded - it\'s a mess, but in a good way. it\'s not dirty or smelly - just lots of crap lying around. the staff were super friendly. I showed up late (midnight) and they were still up so I could check in. A bit tricky to find.the place looks like someone\'s house exploded - it\'s a mess, but in a good way. it\'s not dirty or smelly - just lots of crap lying around. the staff were super friendly.

This place is fantastic and Yumi (who runs this place) is one of the nicest of people I`ve ever met. She`s fantastic and as a bonus speaks cracking English.
This place is in a great location with a surrounding arera well worth exploring, and the hostel has a warm homely feel which was great for meeting people. I highly recommend staying here if your travelling alone.

Amazing place! Yumi is increadibly helpful and freindly and she creates an atmosphere where its really easy to meet people. More of a guest house it had everything i needed. Dorms where a bit hectic but i liked that about it in a way. Little bit out of the way but Tennoji station is close so its only annoying after mid night when the trains stop.Amazing place!

An excellent place to stay for night or one month! Our hosts were very friendly and genuinely interested in us, not just as customers. The futons were very comfy and we got to sleep on tatami mat floors! Quiet, but still a fun, welcoming environment.An excellent place to stay for night or one month!

Very very very helpful, Yumi actually came and rescued us from the red light district when we got lost on the way to the hostel on our first night in Japan.

This is a really cool little hostel. It is really more of a guesthouse, and you won\'t enjoy much anonymity there, but everyone was very kind, friendly, and helpful so I didn\'t want any anonymity.
Also, the neighborhood is super cool. You can eat delicious street food for about one American dollar, and there are lots of great little bars and restaurants hidden all around.
My one word of caution is that it is EXTREMEMLY hard to find. Be ready to ask directions and print out a map...This is a really cool little hostel.

This is a kind of modern commune... it's not so small, but just too small for the number of people living there (7 people in a much too small room), and the common areas are crowded with people and stuff, it's not very clean and very chaotic, a mixture of the owner's stuff and the stuff of people staying there. The door is always open - can be good, but could also be bad... I was glad I only stayed for two nights, it was just too cramped with people and stuff.

This is a good location if you are flying out of Osaka. The location is fairly average, but there are a few things near by (temple, zoo etc.) I didnt feel very safe in the neighbourhood at times but i'm sure its okay. The accomodation was fine, clean, and comfortable and the hosts are friendly (i was invited to join them for dinner-family style). Its a fairly haphazard place, but very easy-going.This is a good location if you are flying out of Osaka.

Peace house Showa is a great hostel if you are looking for a fun cozy place to stay. It is however more of a guesthouse, what I greatly appreciate, but if you are looking for peace and quiet and a lot of privacy this might not be the best choice. Rooms are a bit small and with many guests it's quite crowded. If you however do like company and a place with people willing to get to know new people, this is the place!
