"Sekai Hotel was perfect for what I needed: a place to sleep and keep some stuff while I explored Osaka. It is a great deal, close to the subway and tons of shops and restaurants, and got the job done. "

Stayed four nights at Mitsuwaya Hostel, great facilities, nice staff, cool people and the school across the street provided the best soundtrack for early mornings. Will be staying here again!

The good: Very close to a train station. Room is clean. High Speed Internet. After I complained about bad smell in my room, a staff did air spray right away.
The bad: Bad smell came back not long after air spray, had to open window to get some fresh air, but outside was noisy as it is close to a big road and a train station.
The horrible: In the evening of my check-in date, his hotel sent me an email saying:

We got a room with private bathroom. Rooms run quite small- it was mostly just the bed and bathroom! It had AC, so that was good.
But I think it’s totally expected. All in all, we found this hostel to have great value and quality.

This hotel looks brand new. It’s very easy to access the train station. Once you walk out, it’s about 250 meters away. On hotels.com it says free parking, but this is not the case. You have to call the hotel ahead of time to reserve a parking spot. If you don’t you will need to park in a paid parking lot.

Had a very good stay at Feel Osaka Yu. Kaz is an amazing host. Any questions I had about the area or Osaka in general, Kaz was able to answer. The overall experience at Feel Osaka Yu was great. When I go back to Osaka I will once again stay at Feel Osaka Yu.

The room was comfy and actually very spacious. Food near by closes super early so if you're walking keep that in mind.
I would recommend an eye mask since the sun rises early and there are only blinds and not curtains! Other than that very charming place!
