I stayed at Lore Hostel Dotonbori for a few nights during my trip and it was a fantastic experience. The location was perfect, just a short 5-7 minute walk to the train station and right in the heart of Dotonbori. The hostel itself was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and plenty of toilets and showers. I was pleasantly surprised by the free breakfast, which included bread, butter, jam, and tea/coffee. The laundry facilities were also a bonus, with a washing machine that had a drying function. I had a great stay and would definitely choose this hostel again.
I do recommend this hostel.

Great location in the heart of the city, close to all the main attractions and transportation hubs. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing useful information and multilingual support. The hostel had a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with plenty of space for luggage storage and lockers for personal items. The rooms were cleaned daily and the showers and toilets were always available, with minimal wait times. The free breakfast of bread and coffee was a nice bonus, and the availability of a free laundry service was a convenient perk.
Some of the facilities felt a bit worn out and could benefit from some updates. The beds were not the most comfortable, and the curtains didn't provide enough privacy when the lights were on.

I had an amazing value for my money at this hostel. The room was cozy and clean, and the location couldn't be better as it was right in the center of Dotonbori. The staff were kind and helpful, even lending me an adapter for free and assisting me with my requests.
The only thing that could make the breakfast better would be more choices.

I had a wonderful experience staying at a hostel in the heart of Dotonbori. the location was absolutely perfect, surrounded by restaurants and stores. the check, in process was thorough and the staff was courteous. the facility was impeccably clean, and I felt secure with my belongings. Despite the fact that it was a 58, bed dorm, there were only 8, 10 beds in each section, so noise was minimal. the best part was that the hostel was just a few steps away from Dotonbori, making late, night food trips a breeze. I also appreciated the free bread and jam for breakfast, as well as the common area where I could interact with other guests. Cons: Nothing, no complaints at all.

The location of this hostel was fantastic, with easy access to multiple train stations and popular tourist spots within walking distance. The free use of laundry facilities was a definite plus, and the breakfast provided was adequate. The comfortable beds and towel availability were also much appreciated.
There were a few drawbacks during my stay. The reception area tended to get crowded, especially when people were handling luggage.

Appartement très propre et fonctionnel. Environnement calme et tranquille. Tout à disposition et à proximité. Très proche des transports en commun. Facilité de déplacement
Il n'y a rien que je n'aime pas dans la propriété.

Friendly staff, convenient location for shopping and eats, washer-dryer facilities, and reasonable price. the staff was welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. the hostel's location was perfect, close to shopping areas and plenty of dining options.
Noise levels and lack of privacy. the noise from other guests checking out early in the morning was disturbing and disrupted my sleep.

the best part was the unexpected breakfast that was included in the price. the shower room was clean and well-equipped with shampoo, rinse, and body wash. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a hair dryer available. the washing machine had a drying function, which made it convenient and cost-free. the hostel also had a large common area where you could help yourself to free tea and coffee throughout the day. there was a small common room on the 3rd floor for Muslim guests to fulfill their daily prayers, or they could go up to the rooftop. my stay was perfect and I will definitely choose this hostel again on my next trip to Osaka. Cons: Nothing that I didn't like 😊.

As women traveling alone, we loved the convenient location right in the heart of the bustling shopping and dining area. the fact that it's subway accessible was a huge bonus. the hostel offers free access to washing machines, which is great for long stays. We also appreciated the affordable detergent packs and the complimentary bread, coffee, and tea in the common room on the second floor from 6 am to 9 am.
Felt right at home, couldn't ask for more.

I really got my money's worth at this hostel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed, including a TV, fridge. The location was amazing, right in the heart of Dotonbori, with easy access to trains and subways. The staff were cute and friendly, particularly the kind old gentleman at reception.
The breakfast offerings could be improved by adding more variety to the menu.
