Cannot use the tv in the common are, one man from staff clipped his toenails in the area you eat and cook! - 2 of the 4 toilets not working. The rest of the staff was very nice.

Very nice hostel! Very close to tsuruhashi station, and there's a convenience store right next door. Check in was quick and easy, and the areas are bigger than the pictures make it seem. Everything was clean and comfortable, definitelly recommend!

Very nice hostel. All the beds come with curtains. The common room is big and has a kitchen/fridge/microwave but no cooking stove. The bathrooms are kept clean. A few stains on the carpet/chairs but nothing serious. Overall a good hostel and i will come back :)

We booked a private room for 2, it was very nice. It felt very safe. The location is great , 3 min walking distance from tsuruhashi station. There is also a convenience store downstairs open 24/7. You are not allowed to eat /drink in the room. Also , you have to be quite in the room since its a dorm. The biggest con is that there is no elevator, we had a huge bag to carry up to the second floor! You can always ask help if needed.

Acceptable dorm hotel
This is a dormitory style hotel. If you want you can interact with new faces quite a fair bit. Most of the rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors, but there isn't an elevator. However, if you are backpacking it shouldn't be that much of a problem. The nearby facilities are pretty okay. Food are just a few steps away. And the premises have a washing machine + dryer, makes it convenient for travellers that are staying for long period of time.

It was my first experience to stay in a dorm so my opinion might be slightly biased. However I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Sun Village as it has all the necessary facility to make my short stay comfortable. The best part is there is a Family Mart under the hostel which makes it convenient to get any midnight snack or drinks when hunger strikes! ;-)

Super Clean, Great Location, Friendly Service
I love Sun Village. First of all, the service is top-notch. Everyone at the front desk speaks good English and is so welcoming. Special thanks to Masa and Megumi. The cleaners also do a great job. The place is pretty much spotless. The bathrooms are bright and clean. The rooms are cool and comfortable. The public area is okay. I just wish they had a dining table. Lockers would be nice too. But other than that, everything is perfect. It's super close to the subway and Osaka loop line. Plus, there's a Family Mart next door. I'll definitely be back.

This is a very large hostel in a section of Osaka that seems to be filled with Pachinko places. It is next to a Family Mart on a pretty deserted street. The room, bathroom and shower were extremely clean. The beds were very large: no locker but a thick privacy curtain. No rowdy guests while I was there (1 night) so I had no problem sleeping. Because of the size it felt rather impersonal- just check in and out and not much info from the staff about anything else. I asked for directions and they did their best to help though. The hostel is on the second floor and there is a flight of stairs to go up with no elevator. However, the staff will help you carry your luggage if you ask them. So safe, clean, close to the metro line and a good price. As long as you're not looking for charm, character and homeliness (that sort of thing) it is a good deal.

It's very near tsuruhashi station, quiet environment. It's very near to Family mart, therefore you can always grab a bite before you start your day. It will be better that they provide lockers for storage of important belongings. Overall its a good experience.

Friendly,fun, spacious
I was a little skeptical at first because it was my first time staying at a hostel. But due to my surprise, it was a great choice. The beds are very spacious, plenty of room to move around. It’s quiet inside the dorms, along with a note to remind the guests to be considerate of others to also be quiet. The staff is young,helpful & sweet,very kind. The common room is also spacious. I came across many solo travelers which was very nice & comforting to meet. Not crazy or rude, everyone being kind to one another, and respecting everyone,so nice environment. I’m very sociable so it was nice to be in a sociable environment. I also enjoyed the fact that it’s directly next door to a family mart for a quick bite before planning a big day, and a two minute walk to the station. I can’t wait to come back next year! :) hopefully I’ll know more Japanese to speak with other tourist/locals in the area 😅 I thank you all so much staff at Sun Village. You all are awesome 😁

Staff only available 10AM till 10pm
Arrived almost 9pm; was lucky cause at 10pm there wont be any staff anymore. The door to the hostel is always locked. In order to get inside is either with the key or the staff let you in. So for the check in just never get later than 10 pm or called in to let the staff knew about it. The location was great cause it got convenience store and close to lots of restaurants. I just found there's not a lot of English speakers

Cozy and quiet hostel
The building looked new and was not far from the transit station. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The front desk offered multilingual service which included Korean and English. The staff was very kind to me, but it's too quiet for making new friends or hang out with your roommates. I'd recommend this hostel to those who travel alone and want to be quiet when you take a rest.

The 4-nights stay in Sun Village (鶴橋店) was amazing and satisfactory in the end. - Staffs are friendly to guest whenever asking some questions for routes to tourist attractions. - Everyday housekeeping around the late morning, keeping rooms & toilets clean - Has large toilets & shower booths accommodating many guests at the same time - Easily accessible to the property from JR TSURUHASHI station (鶴橋駅) by 5 min. walk - Has a small kitchen with kettle, microwave and fridge for keeping & making some simple foods - Has a blackout curtain beside a bed so that privacy was kept while sleeping.
