Friendly atmosphere very cheap!
Near tourist attractions and enough to stay for a short time. Reasonable price, even slightly cheaper than I thought for the service provided. I really enjoyed the takoyaki party! I can get to know some fellow travelers and shared stories because of the
friendly atmosphere. Nice place!

The staff members are exceptionally friendly and helpful - and genuinely so, so it was a pleasure to deal with them at all times. The dorm beds are like capsule rooms which was fantastic as there was room to have some of your stuff in your sleeping space with you - in other hostels you are constantly in and out of your backpack / suitcase as there's nowhere to store things. The free toiletries provided were very good and we were given two towels to use, free of charge for the duration of our stay (six nights).
Unfortunately we had reason to complain about some of the other guests in our dorm one night which was obviously not the fault of the hotel. However, the offending guests were as quiet as mice the following night, so I believe our complaint was acted upon by the hotel staff and we really appreciated that.
If you're looking for reasonably priced shared accommodation in Osaka, I would say that Senba Hostel is excellent value.

They were very good at accommodating our late arrival (thank you again!) and made it very easy to rent and use their bikes. Perhaps clearer instructions for when you check in late or a wee tour the next day would have been great, especially around the elevator, but otherwise pretty good!
Pretty handy to a lot of locations and easy to find

Clean hostel, good location
I liked staying at Senba hostel. The hostel is very well organized and everything is very clean. The only problem is that they have very big rooms that accomodate a lot of people and although there are rules for quiet times, it can be very noisy. Two sinks are in the room and the door always makes beeping-sounds when it is opened, which leads to many disturbances if people come home late and get up very early. So be prepared, then it is okay!

Among the best hostels that I've stayed.
The beds are clean, neat and private. Really good for staying. They even provided a little desk and a mirror in double beds set. There's also kitchen and entertaiments in the basement. We've got a really nice stay there and will recommend it to our friends.
