I only stayed for one night.. sadly! It’s an amazing place and has lots of things to discover. Starting with nice drawings in the whole hostel, different colors and patterns in every toilet and a rooftop I did not visit yet. I hope to come back on my next stay in Osaka to spend more time in all the provided facilities. Don’t forget to check out the ‘do-it-yourself takoyaki’-store around the corner (sometimes opens later than estimated)!!

Impressive!”

Toyo Hostel is a very old building (probably a former company dormitory) that was reformed and painted, Have very cool things like a 24 hour shower booths, a recreational room with few retro gaming and a 24 hour reception. Those 3 aspects are very rare to see in any other place not only inside Japan but overseas. The price is not bad, less than 2.000 yen per night inside a individual 6 sized tatami room with futon. The toilets are big and with brand new washlet included. The building is near to the entrance of Shin Sekai and only 20 minute walk to DenDen Town. Near to the Shinsekai entrance there are a 24 hour Don Quijote store. For the budget, I think will be hard find better. The individual room is more than enough just for sleep. My only "complain" was the full packed refrigerator that the other guests uses, 2 refrigerators definitely are NOT enough. Too many people for a such limited space. Besides that, no major problems to be reported. I recommend.
