I stayed in a semi private room, and it was honestly brilliant. More hostels should do that, cause it was so nice to be able to have your own space, but not have to buy a single room. The other facilities were nice and clean. I also loved that I was invited to join on a night out when I checked in.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Qoo, the hostel is situated right above an exit of the train station making it extremely convenient. The hostel is located in a central area, less than 10 minutes away from Dotombori and many malls. The hostel is clean and the bathrooms on each floor are in great condition. Stayed in a twin semi private room and it was clean and there was enough space to put our luggage. There is a hook with coat hangers which is good. The hostel provides hairdryers and straighteners which are really useful!

Love the fact that the hotel was right at the train station. Super convenient to move around. Also kirinji ramen was right across the road. Super easy to find good food. Would’ve liked it if the water pressure in the shower was stronger though. Overall, amazing place to stay at. Friendly and helpful staff!

It was your standard hostel. Somewhat loud, small and a bit inconvenient. I stayed in a all women’s dorm. The lights are all connected therefore you cannot shut the lights off in your space until lights out. Which meant that when women would come in after lights out, they would turn them on to see. Therefore the lights went on in our personal space.

It’s near streets with a lot of merch, so decent location if you’re into anime & manga. Otherwise, I’d recommend staying elsewhere closer to a subway station. On another note, I didn’t think much of the comments on the smell of the place, but woooooweeee it absolutely smells like feet! This was the only hostel that didn’t require us to leave our shoes at the door and wow does it make a difference.

Quiet and clean!
I stayed in the female dorm for 2 nights and this place was perfect. I loved the curtains for privacy. The washroom included sinks and doubled as a vanity area for makeup and hair. They have hair dryers too. There were several toilets so it was never a wait for restroom. Quiet dorm and not very social. It was above a subway line which is great but sometimes you have to walk 10 minutes or so to a other station for the line you need. About 20 minutes walk to some of the main areas. Overall great quality for the price and would stay again!

I liked everything except for the washing machine and drier. It didnt seem to work properly as my clothes would not dry. Actually, I believe that their washer and drier was strictly for their linen. They charged 500 yen for something that didnt seem to work. I didn't get mad because it was a problem with the appliance, and not the hostel.
