JAKOTEL+Namba

Great location near seafood market and metro station. Self check in went smoothly.

This was a solid stay- close to Dotonbori, spacious bed, amenities like slippers, towels, and pajamas provided. Locker with a code so you don’t need your own lock. I think self check-in places can be kind of iffy- there was an issue with my booking when I showed up and it said it wasn’t time for me to check in yet even though it was the day of my check-in and it said check in is available 24hrs. Luckily a woman happened to be there who could fix the mistake in the computer but I met a traveler later who booked an all female dorm and the computer assigned her a room in the all male dorm. She had to email and wait for someone to come and fix the problem. Then I received emails from the hostel addressing someone with a different name so it felt to me like their system was not as streamlined as it needed to be. Also there is only one toilet on each floor- just something to be aware of.

The Hostel was perfect. The Only “bad” thing is the lack of social interaction Space, but all the other things were Superb

Overall, this hostel is good. Just one suggestion: if possible, please provide instructions on how to use the toilet in each dorm, as some guests leave their pee without flushing. They might not know how to use it properly.

Lover everything. It is not dangerous at all for girl solo traveler. Near metro, 7-11. I will come here again. ❤️

I had a lovely stay at Jakotel. I booked for 5 nights and it was one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had. It is not a social hostel but there is a small hangout area on the 2nd floor. The hostel is strategically located in a quiet area of Namba - super close to the subway, kuromon market, and the bustling area of dotonbori. It is also walking distance to many tourist attractions, and there is a laundromat closeby. I'd definitely stay again in the future.
