Maru House

The price was a little bit expensive! No washlet, no room service! It's more like a hostel. Shower room had hairs, one room & 4 bunker bed! Also the place is little bit crowdy (a lot of local food is a good point). Also, it's behind a red light district. Disappointed on service & price but met a some other solo travelers who were best room mates.

Nice hostel in a good location right next to the tower in Shinsekai. This is a hostel in the traditional Japanese house so it feels very cozy and homey. It’s being cleaned everyday and they give you fresh body towels everyday. The beds have curtains. AC was working good. They also have lockers in the main area for your valuables. The area felt very safe and was walking at night all the time. The owner is Korean and was super sweet, he showed me everything personally and even gave me a small gift. Maybe it’s not the best option for western backpackers who wanna make friends though because I was the only westerner in the hostel. It seemed like most of the guests were living there long term so it’s not really “travelling and meeting people” vibes.

It was pricy compared to other periods. The issue was cosplay event nearby. The room has two bunk-beds. It is not very comfortable to go up and down the bunk bed. Also, there is only kitchen zinc to brush teeth. In general, if you travel as a group of friends, the room is fine. But for single travelers it may be too packed and crowded.

Best place to stay at namba area. Very affordable and the host is very nice & accommodating.We didn't have any problems during our visit. The place is also super closes to tsukenkaku and only few minutes walk to dotonbori. Thank you so much! 😍 🫶🏻

Really sketchy vibe to the hostel. The owner gave us the key to the bedroom but not to the kitchen area so we had to wake the guys inside up so we could sleep as well. Location is pretty good. Only bad part is the ***** **** a few steps from the reception. 4/10.

So far the Best Hostel I stayed in Japan. The hotel owner is fun and super Nice and flexible. This was my 4th stay and I will be coming back 🔙
