Poly Hostel Osaka is a gem among hostel class accommodation.||High level of cleanliness, warm welcome from the staff, high comfort of FUTON bed. This my first ever time to try sleeping on top of a Futon, and well it is really that good (I mean that good, no backache or whatever even after I woke up) considering the thickness.||I would like to nominate Futon as one of best engineering marvel in the world!||Ok then here's the quick recap||+Pro's:|1. Awesomeness of Futon bed comfort|2. Helpful and Friendly staff (you pay for a ho(s)tel price but get a hotel grade hospitality)|3.

The online staff was very responsive and helpful, allowing us to check in much earlier since our room was ready. The room itself is spacious by Japan standards and comes equipped with a washing machine, microwave, and cooker.

It’s about a 15-20 minute walk to Namba and Kuromon Market, 10 minutes to Shinsaibashi, 10 minutes to Tsutenkaku, and 15 minutes to Tennoji Park. I would definitely stay here again if I...
