I had a great time at the guesthouse, the hostel is a very kind and sweet person, always ready to help you. By talking with the guests I made many new friends. I appreciated the private room (you share it with the other volunteer). The work is min 1,5 hours max 3 hours a day, 3-4 days a week (depends on check-outs). So lots of free time to explore Osaka and surrounding cities. The guesthouse is near konbini's, supermarkets & restaurants. Namba/shinsaibashi are at a walking distance and a metro station is just 5 min away. I definitely recommend this place to anyone and i would love to return someday!

The hostel is such a lovely person, she listens to you and she took care of me when I was sick. The work is 3 or 4 days a week (depends on the week) and takes around 2 hours. The hostel is really small so you do the cleaning yourself. Hostel is in a really good spot, close to the metro and dotonburi area. You have 7/11 and Lawson really close too. The room for staff is private, only for two people and there is space to put your things. Keep in mind it's in the basement so there is no daylight, but for me it was not a problem. It was such an amazing experience, I reccomend 100%

I stayed 2 months in the guesthouse with the hostel and my stay was incredible! the hostel is amazing, kind, caring and always attentive. I felt at home and I had the chance to meet many guests with whom I shared good times while having my own comfortable space. The atmosphere of the guesthouse is warm and welcoming and the work is really simple. I had a lot of free time for my hobbies. I recommend anyone who wants an authentic experience to come meet the hostel and stay in her guesthouse.

I first met the hostel almost two years ago when I stayed here as a guest, and I loved it so much that I decided to come back as a volunteer and the vibe is still amazing. The housekeeping tasks are simple and usually done by midday, which leaves you plenty of free time to explore Osaka or chill. the hostel is super supportive and always there to help, whether it's about work, places to visit, or just general advice. I also made a bunch of new friends among the guests and had some great times going out with them or just chatting on the couch. Thanks the hostel for the opportunity 🌞 Best hostel in Osaka!
