Great hostel in the most convenient location.
I stayed here for four nights in Oct. 2008 and seriously, this is probably the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff are friendly and speak really good english, which is very important to the traveler who doesn't understand a single japanese word coming to Japan. The beds are very comfortable although the headroom in the bunks are a little tight but you can live with it. Although the internet is 100yen per half hour, it's free if you've got your own wireless enabled laptop. Now let me talk about the location, its next to Fukushima station which gets you to almost anywhere in the Kansai region via the expresses that ply the Osaka loop. Supermarket, fast food, japanese diners, and mister donuts is in the neighbourhood. The road just outside the hostel is a tiled pedestrian footpath, so there's no traffic noise or pollution. This is only the second time I've giving five stars to a hostel.

Excellent
I know this place has been open only for a few months, but I'm surprised I'm the first person to leave a review. This is a great hostel. It's located a short distance from Osaka central station and is a few metres from Fukushima station on the regular running JR Loop line. The directions given buy the hostel are easy to follow and accurate, so finding this place is not a problem. Everything is kept spotlessly clean here in typical Japanese fashion. The beds are very comfortable. There's lockers in the dorm rooms to store your valuables, although they only take those really small padlocks -- bring your own! There's a TV room and free wireless internet (although there's 100 yen per thirty minute charge for the hostel's own internet which seems a little odd). The only small problem was that on the second floor there was one shower to share between twelve people sleeping in the dorms. All in all I had a good stay and would come back here.
