I regularly stay at this hostel, and every time, but they still let me check-in early! Thank you so much for this! The staff is extremely nice and reach out to every guest. I also really love the lounge, since it is very cozy.

Yo was sooooo friendly and gave me great tips. The guesthouse is so cosy.

Apart from the great staff and comfortable dorm rooms, my favourite part of guesthouse U-En is the lounge area, which unlike many other hostels is spacious, comfortable and allows backpackers to socialize freely. Apart from that, the staff was gracious enough to let me check-in early, which I really appreciated.

Great value address! It' s a clean, friendly young-guest house. The staff is very friendly and kind, the room was tiny but very clean, comfortable and the sharing areas are very welcoming and full of facilities. Rooms are over a cafè but the place is very quiet. Very high price/quality value!!

The property was exactly what we wanted and gave us a real feel for the Japanese culture. The staff were AMAZING and so lovely to interact with. Would 100% stay again.

The staff were divine! Honestly the nicest people I’ve probably ever met! Every single member of reception made our stay the best accomodation experience in japan. This is literally the only place anyone should ever consider staying in Osaka!

We were lucky enough to get upgraded from the shared dormitory to a private room. The room was really comfortable and had the most authentic Japanese setting of anywhere we'd stayed in our 3 weeks of travelling. The staff were really friendly, the beds comfortable, and the showers clean and modern. The location was great for exploring the sights around Umeda and the fantastic eateries in Fukushima.

They just thought of everything - from a locker, lamp and power plug in your bunk to complimentary ear plugs, a well equipped kitchen and good wifi The cafe downstairs was really nice as well

The location is pretty good, not too far from the main city center. The bathroom and toilet facilities are great, clean and enjoyable to use. Staff are super friendly and helpful! Also appreciated that there was a balcony area to hang laundry. Not a huge deal - but the room itself was a tiny bit snug, so all the backpacks were in a centralized location at the front of the room, rather than at your own bed or in a cupboard like it might be at other hostels. As I sometimes came back late at night or left early in the morning, I felt bad having to make noise in the centralized location and potentially disturb other people, so usually brought my backpack out to the common area to settle my stuff, then back in.

I loved the location, and the quirks of thr place. The common room was great, and the staff were very friendly with good English skills. Hit our heads a few times on the low doors, but a small price to pay for the service!
