A decent place to stay for the price. But please bring your own towel. The towel sold at the front desk is terribly thin and small. The room is clean and in general good condition. But there is no heat in the bathroom and hallways. The pictures posted in the listing is misleading. There is no sofa or any sitting area, as shown in the listing.
I rented a one-person, Japanese-style room. The bedding was immaculate, the tatami was in good condition, the furniture was clean. However, the room was very damp, it smelled and felt like being in a damp cave. The air conditioning didn't improve things much, and it had spots of mold on the vents. The walls, although clean, were battered with scuff marks. Showers and toilets were pretty clean. It's a cheap and convenient place to lay your head and get showered on a tight budget.
Everything was perfect, but i had some Internet connection problems during my stay, you were connected to the web but without access to Internet. But besides that, the rest was good for a cheap price.

It is really cheap to stay here in an individual room, compared to other places.
It is nice and clean, a quiet area and quiet residents, although walls are very thin and you can hear even a needle falling to the ground.
Small room with only a matress on the floor, so not optimal if you have back pain. Good service from the very friendly staff! Shared bathrooms and showers, both clean!

Great hotel for backpackers and travelers on a budget. Very friendly and competent crew. Rooms are small but adapted for short stays. Walls might be a bit thin, so you can eat neighbors. Surrounding is very adapted for visiting Osaka. Three stops from Namba, five from Umeda. Direct access to KIX. Price is impressively good (less than 10€ a night). Of course it won’t be the most exciting hotel, but for the price it is more than impressive ! Will go back again for sure.

Great little hostel for budget travellers.
My son and I stayed in a bunk bed room, and what a deal it was! I was impressed with the check in staff who made it clear what the expectations were and were very kind to share with us the cultural expectations that some travelling from overseas may not be familiar with.
The room itself was clean and tidy. There were many scuffs on the wall, but it really didn't take away from the cleanliness of the room.
The only concern that I had was that a towe rental was around ¥300, yet the towel reeked of stale tobacco. We ended up buying a new towel at a local convenience store for less than ¥600.
Overall, the convenience was excellent, staff was friendly and I never felt unsafe.
It is a good hotel to stay, the attention they give you is very good, it is close to many places, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, and it is very accessible if you want to walk or take transportation
Hotel Lucky is good for the price. The owners are really nice and did their best to help us foreigners. It is a shared hotel, so toaster/plates, sinks, bathroom, shower are all shared but bedrooms are private. The room is tiny, allowing space for a couple pieces of luggage and bed only. If all you need is a bed and roof, this place is great for the price.

Wall very thin can hear people snoring and talking
I was really disappointed with my stay here. The internet connection was terrible—sometimes it worked, but other times I couldn't get a stable signal. When I asked about it, the staff informed me that internet access varies depending on the room and suggested going to the first floor for better connectivity. This was incredibly inconvenient, especially since I paid for a room expecting basic amenities like reliable internet, and this experience fell short of that. I also booked a non-smoking room, but there was a strong smell of cigarette smoke in both the bathroom and the hallway. To make things worse, there was no staff available after 10:00 pm, so I couldn’t report the issue at night. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, and I wouldn’t recommend this hotel based on the service I received.
Do not travel there alone as a woman. I have travelled all over Japan for years, and this is the first hotel where I felt unsafe. It felt very shady, and you can only pay cash. The area around is dirty and there are many old and drunk men around, even on a Tuesday.
The hotel itself is run down and dirty. I was afraid of catching something disgusting in the shower - like fungus or warts.
I had also made a reservation for a non-smoking room, but it stank of tobacco. Their solution? Have an air freshener in the room, which didn't help. They found another room for me thankfully, as I absolutely hate the smell of cold tobacco. Thank god I only stayed for the one night. You can hear everything between the walls, and there are police and/or ambulance driving by all the time.
It boasts of having an onsen, but it's for men only.
On the plus side, wifi was stable
