Very Good
☺ The hostel is very cosy and feels like grandma's home. The owner is kind and helpful and very fond of tomatoes. Everything is tomato-themed and there is even a little tomato worship room. Towels are provided, netflix, coffee, tea, ... Location is good, next to the river and centered between Shin-Osaka station and downtown, but you need a subway (5 mins walking) which is not covered by JR.
☹ The matresses are very thin (futon style), so the beds are quite hard. There are 2 bathing rooms and 2 separate toilets. Since the wash basins are in the bathing rooms, you cannot brush your teeth when someone else is showering so you might have to wait for a bit of time.
