"I thought the gorilla theme was really cute and liked the shared space dorm feeling. Some guests were cheerful and not especially quiet but once it got late it was quiet and we slept well. It actually felt festive and pleasant. The bath facilities were clean. There could have been more garbage bins as they got full quickly and it became difficult to separate. The space had a good feeling and it was comfortable to sleep on futons even as a family. There's not much privacy so it might not be great...
"The place is great! Pretty close to a station with mutiple lines, the surrounding area isnt namba station but it has the necessities within reach (convenience store, supermarket, couple of dinner spots). (Presumably all rooms but i havent seen the others) my room has adjustable ac and lighting, pretty roomy too. The only real issue I really had was that the wifi stopped working a few days in, but that'll probably be fixed eventually. Oh, and the thinnes s of the mattress takes a little getting...
"Actually, I just wanted to find a cheap room to take a short nap while waiting for my friend’s flight. In the photos, the room looked very nice, but in reality, it was totally different. The room was small, scary-looking, quite dirty, and dusty—as if it had never been cleaned. There were only a few shared bathrooms per floor (and only a few floors had showers, though I didn’t use them). When I saw the room, I was like, "What is this? 7,000 yen for this?" I couldn’t sleep at all—I kept hearing snoring from the room next door the whole time. When my partner went to the bathroom, I had to keep the door open and watch because the atmosphere felt really unsafe. There weren’t even any security cameras. In the end, I stayed for just over an hour and checked out. I figured it’d be better to wait for my friend at a late-night bar instead."
