Hostel Furoya ホステル 風呂屋 — Hotel in Osaka

This place is by far the most convenient place I've ever found in Japan! why? it has basically everything I need! perfect position (lot of supermarkets, metro and jr station super close!), affordable price, cool and original concept (it has been converted from a bath to a hostel!!), clean, available and kind staff! Ming wai and Sing are always willing to help their customers and give them the best tips to enjoy their stay in Osaka, being able to create a familiar and relaxed environment that is ideal after a day plenty of visits, shopping, walking, etc... so, if you are willing to spend your holidays in Osaka, I warmly suggest you to consider the idea to stay at Hostel Furoya, it is a perfect base also to visit other beautiful places in Kansai like Nara, Kobe, Kyoto, etc... the Tamatsukuri JR station is so close and convenient to go...

The kitchen and fridge is also available for all guest to use. There are showers for each dorm and toilets are in the common area. Very well situated: 10 min walk from Osaka Castle Park, a few minutes from Tamatsukuri station, has multiple convenience store and a supermarket only minutes...
