    Everything was very clean. We were a bit scared about the shared bathrooms, but they were very clean and there were enough toilets and showers so we never had to wait too much to use them (actually only had to wait to take a shower once). They provide toiletries and I actually liked the shampoo very much. Great location, near the subway and within a walkable distance from many things. The room was big and comfortable. There was a big fridge. WiFi worked well. They have washing machines available. No driers, but you can hang your clothes to dry on the terrace. There's no reception but it wasn't a problem because every time we had a question we wrote to them on booking.com and they replied very quickly.

    As the name suggests, it's an hostel with shared bathroom and showers. Plan ahead when to come back.

    Simple and quite cheap hostel where you can be at the center of Osaka, 10 min away from dotonbori and Osaka castle. It was pretty chill with not a lot of people. Super quiet

    As for things to be aware of: the walls are quite thin, so you can easily hear noises from other rooms. And as often in places with shared spaces (toilets, sinks, etc.), the real problem can come from the other guests. Some are not very respectful, which can be frustrating if you end up with the wrong kind of people. The worst enemy of a traveler in shared accommodations is… other travelers themselves. That said, the hosts aren’t to blame and can’t control everything. The shared areas were still well cleaned, even though some guests left them messy. The effort to keep everything tidy was noticeable and appreciated. Maybe thicker walls would help, but in this type of structure, that’s hard to change.

    The hosts, Qinhao and his wife Wang, were truly wonderful. Very present, responsive via WhatsApp, always ready to help and quick to answer any questions a real plus when traveling alone. The accommodation is very well located, about a 15–20 minute walk from Dotonbori, which is perfect for strolling around before reaching the lively heart of Osaka. Nagahoribashi Station is 5 minutes away, with convenience stores just across the street, super convenient !! The value for money is really good, especially for a first solo trip to Japan. I felt safe and well looked after. A huge thank you to Qinhao and Wang for their warm welcome, availability, and kindness. You truly helped make my first trip to Japan feel safe and enjoyable!

    Shared toilets will always be a trade-off. Some days other hostel guests would clean up after they use the toilets seats, shower rooms, and lavatories. Some guests just let their poop stain the toilet bowl, or leave the sink counter very very wet. It’s nothing the hostel staff can do but clean up routinely. Some people just don’t know how to clean up after themselves.

    Comfortable and cozy room. Feels like a typical Japanese apartment. Decent location.

    We had a great stay at Sunnice hostel. Location and price were very good. The bed mattresses were a bit thin, but overall very good facilities. Special thanks to the staff: we washed our clothes and hung them outside, right before it started raining. They moved our clothes under the roof in order to shield them from the rain.

    The hostel is close to two major subway stations that provide easy access to downtown Osaka. My room had a good size and was equipped with a refrigerator and a water kettle and he bed was very comfortable. The common area on the 1st floor has a fully equipped kitchen and there are some dining tables as well.

    Not the hostel’s fault but inconsiderate people slamming the doors at 12AM-3AM. Street can be very noisy. No water, have to buy at convenience store. Soundproof is no good..

    Stayed in triple room on 5th floor. Nice view. Clean and spacious. Has elevator. Comfortable bed. Code to enter room so don’t have to worry about a key/card. Shower and toilet on each floor (only 2 rooms per floor so didn’t have to share with many people) and clean. Extra restroom and showers on the 6th floor. Toothbrush, Hair dryer, towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, & hangers available. You can open the windows and feel the cool breeze. Convenience stores, restaurants, and shopping nearby (10 minute walk). Near subway station. AC is good. Stores luggage before check-in. Washers (3), detergent, and drying racks available. Good price. Fridge in room. Wi-Fi worked well. Kitchen in lobby. Owner is very kind and let me check in early. She couldn’t speak English but she communicated with me through google translate. I highly recommend even as a solo female traveler. The showers and toilets do have a lock on them. It’s just the entrance to the women’s bathroom is just a curtain.

    Property lacked a dryer but that’s ok (nearest laundromat was 6mins walk away so not too bad) with complimentary washing! Bathroom could be more secure especially for solo travellers, since there’s not door or lock anyone of the opposite gender could enter the bathroom :(

    Place looks exactly like the pictures! Cozy, helpful staff and decent location! Sufficient toilets too!

    Amazing location to explore Osaka. The hostel is comfortable, well equipped and the room is clean, big and even a fridge inside. Shared showers in the 5th floor and there is also free washing machine on the roof top to use. WIFI worked great although it was only usuable via QRcode. There is a kitchen in the lobby you can freely use and the owners are very kind and helpful. Definitely recommendable!

    Really enjoyed my stay! Comfortable, clean and modern accommodation. Was worried about having a shared bathroom.. but it was no issue at all, had lots of toilets and a shower upstairs which was very nice! Great location to the main sights by foot in Osaka and very close to a tube station. The host was very friendly too!

    Showers all located on top floors but toilets are available between each floor. Beds were hardest we've had throughout Japan. Room had only one accessible outlet set at the foot of the bed.

    Mgr and staff very helpful in addressing issue with heating. Great location (black cat shipping right across street!) Hot showers and kitchen had all things needed. Like having all electronic locks inside and outside door too.
