The live music DJ was very relaxing. Not far from Dotombori. Close to a few convenience stores.

My favourite hostel stay in Japan. The staff-run event for Setsubun was great fun, and the lounge was always busy with people socialising well into the night. My only (minor) feedback is I wish they would play more than the same dozen songs on repeat in the lounge! Otherwise, it was perfect.
