The host is a welcoming and helpful lady. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but still accessible to Osaka. Our room on 2nd floor was clean, neat, cozy and considered big for two people, so it was a pretty comfortable stay. At first, we were confused when finding the house because the address and map provided by Airbnb were showing two different places (with 150m difference) so the host came to meet us, even if we arrived pretty late. The house is around 3-5min walk from two nearby bus stations. You can transit to train at JR Ibaraki or Hankyu Ibaraki with the buses. 房主女士很亲切,房间也挺舒适宽敞。是个不错的住宿,无论是家人朋友或情侣都相当推荐^_^ 栄子さん、谢谢您!

Really nice host. We felt we are part of the family. Though the house is quite far from the station, the experience going there made us feel like we are on a countryside.

tony很亲切哇!讲了很多事…!虽然我们当时因为失误比定好的时间迟到了很抱歉哇,房间很小但很舒适!夜间也很安静!很好

I loved this place, the location was excellent for a base between Kyoto and Osaka. The area is also nice with a lot of good local restaurants and bars nearby. Tony was very helpful and met me quite late for a check in, great value. Would definitely recommend

Bon logement proche du métro

Had a better than expected time at Tony's place. He was very responsive to our questions and the area around the apartment was full of restaurants, bars and grocery stores. The Korien train station is only a few minutes walk and the Keihan mainline runs straight towards the Fushimi Inari-taisha and Gion district in Kyoto. The apartment is not new, but has everything a traveler needs to feel at home. The nearby 7-eleven made cash withdrawals easy and they take visa and MasterCard for in-store purchases too. If you plan a trip during the summer months the cold A/C is a life saver after a long day of sightseeing. The pocket Wi-Fi is great for getting around and finding places on the fly if your plans change while out and about. Ask Tony about his other place in downtown Osaka for easy access to the major attractions and nightlife.

A perfect room located in a perfect place.there are many restaurants around the apt and it's very close to the station. The host Tony is a very nice guy who will lead you to the room and give you a introduction about the neighborhood.He also prepared many snacks in the room:) In a word it's a nice place for two people.I think I will choose this place if I come to Kyoto again.

房子位于大阪和京都中间,去大阪和京都都十分方便,房间小了点不过两个人休息也足够了,旁边便利店和餐馆也有很多,Tony也是个十分有趣和善的人,由于到的很晚了Tony还在电车站接我们到住的地方,还给我们介绍了周边以及给了我们很多建议,总之十分推荐入住

Tony was very easy to communicate with and a very nice guy. He met us at the station and even walked us to the place while describing what was nearby and offered to recommend good restaurants nearby. As described, the place is very small, but it's still slightly bigger than a japanese hotel so you definitely get your money's worth. If you're just looking for a place to sleep while keeping busy in Osaka or Kyoto (about a 45 min train ride away), then this place is a very good deal. Tony also equipped the bathroom and kitchen with everything you could need, and even left us some coffees and snacks in the fridge!

Tony is a kind person, he helped us to find our room which really easy to access from subway. Room is a little small but clean and comfortable. Room has everyting we need. Thank you Tony.

I stayed in Hostel Bell for 1 week during my trip to Japan. What first attracted me to the listing was the low cost per day and the positive reviews on the airbnb site. From Minami-Ibaraki Station, it is about a 10 minute walk to get to the place. You'll have to use (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps to get to the hostel as it is quite hidden and not very conspicuous, so make sure your phone is charged or you have printed out the map on hand. Once you arrive, Nobu and Hiro will greet you and orient you to the place. The dorms are clean and bare, the beds are super comfy, and there is warm shower (but time-limited to about 1 minute each time so I had to frequently restart the hot tap). I had my own pocket wifi so I never needed the hostel's. From what I saw it was only available near the reception area. Laundry is 200 yen and there is no dryer, you will hang your clothes to dry. What I love about this hostel is that it is located in the suburbs, so you'll feel very much like a local, walking to the station and buying from 7/11 and food stalls. The hosts are super kind and will constantly check on you to make sure everything is alright. The place is also in the middle of Osaka and Kyoto, so it is perfect if you are planning to go around Kansai area. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. Overall, I would recommend staying in this place.

걸을만한 거리지만, 캐리어가 많으면 걸어가기는 조금 먼 거리이다. 관광지역과는 떨어져있지만, 오사카대학에 볼 일이 있는사람이라면 좋은 위치에 있는 숙소이다. 거주지역에 위치해 있기 때문에 조용하고, 호스트들과 방의 입구가 아예 분리되어있어 좋았다. 도미토리 바닥이 신발 신고 들어가는 형태였는데 바닥이 차서 안에서 신을 슬리퍼를 준비해가도 좋을 것 같다.

因為帶了兩個小小孩住共享房,很怕會吵到同房室友,下次會提早訂家庭房,比較不擔心影響別人。

安くて安心。一人の旅にぴったり。

Clean, kind, convenience with good price!

Didn't get to really speak to the hosts much but they were so friendly when I arrived. The dorm room was really clean and cozy

The dorm rooms were very clean and comfortable and I enjoyed my stay very much. However, the discription mentions complimentary towels, coffee, and use of the kitchen area and that was inaccurate. There is a kitchen but it was locked every time I tried to access it and since I pretty much never saw my hosts after I checked-in I couldn't ask about it. They did show me how to use the washer and their isn't a dryer but a place to hang your clothes dry. Still, it was well worth the price and I would stay again.

紅葉を見に京都へ行った際宿泊しました!アクセスも良く和気あいあいとしていて楽しかったです。

8人の部屋に一人泊まりましたけど、いい経験でした。

It is a safe and quiet place to stay. It is near to kyoto. There is a convenient store about 8-10 minutes walk from the hostel. A bit dark at night when get back to hostel due to insufficient light source. Suggest for group travellers instead of solo travellers. It is a bit far from the main tourist spots in Osaka.

Really good place to stay, we came for 2 nights and ended up staying for 4 nights!! The hostel is conveniently located between Osaka and Kyoto, so its perfect to visit both locations. Train station is around 10 - 15 minutes away from the hostel, it's a nice walk and you get to stay and walk around an actual residential suburb of Osaka! Dorms are for 8 people, spacious and with a shower and toilet on each room, air conditioning and wifi. The host is very helpful, he assisted us with all enquiries we had and always replied on time to all e-mails and messages. Overall, very convenient in terms of budget and location, a very good option for those planning on visiting both cities on a budget.

샤워, 취사, 세탁이 10시부터 10시까지 가능하다는점 참고하셔야합니다. 호스트분은 정말 친절하시고 특히 침대가 엄청 편합니다.

因为到的时间比较晚,房东还发消息问我们"are you OK?" 是很可爱很爱笑的房东~ 住的地方很安静,床铺也很舒服,赞!

숙소는 미나미이바라키역에서 15분가량 떨어진 주거지역에 위치해서 조용하다. 사진에 보이는 그대로의 방이었고 호스트는 친절했다. 다만 영어를 잘 못하셔서 문의메세지를 보낼때 일본어로 보내는 것을 추천한다.

Very residential and quiet location. Close to public transport and welcoming hosts

A nice place, beautiful inside, clean! Very friendly people. We were very happy with it! We might go back :-)

We came by car so the location was a bit complicated to find. We actually got lost when trying to find the hostel but after contacting our host Nobu, we arrived to the hostel safely. The room was very cosy and was probably the most comfortable place we stayed at during our trip in Japan. We didn't stay long enough to try the other services offered by the hostel but Hostel Bell is definitely a great place to stay during a trip!

Our host was very good to us! We went to Kyoto before checking into our room and our host was very kind to wait for us to check in late. Our host was also considerate and checked if we were ok, because we were lost. The neighborhood was clean and I felt safe. It was a nice 13 min walk from the rail station. We passed at least 4 Family Mart/Lawson, just in case you need snacks and water for your trip. Lastly, our host checked on us our 2nd/last night and asked about our trip. I will come back and stay again!!

일본에서 중학 1년생의 학급 친구들과 처음 떠나는 여행이였다. USJ와 교토를 방문하여 아이들과 엄마들 모두 만족하는 여행이였다. 호스텔벨은 어어콘을 잘 틀어주어 집으로 돌아와서는 피곤한 몸을 시원하게 쉴 수 있어 좋았고,사통팔달 교통편이 좋았다. 특히나 호스트가 친절하고 좋은 친구여서 편하게 보내었다. 저렴하고 편한 숙소를 찾는 오사카 자유여행자에게 추천합니다. ^^

安靜,棉被枕頭和床很舒服

에어비엔비에 올라와 있는 사진과 조금달라 많이 당황했다 숙소는 깨끗했지만 방에 침대만 9개있을뿐 어떤 시설도 이용하지 못했다 주방 사용시간은 오전 10시에서 오후 10시 사용한다 우리는 주방을 이용하지 못했고 방은 다른시설과 멀리 떨어져 이용하지 못 했다 수건도 화장실의 화장지도 이용하지 못했다 영어로 의사소통도 어려웠다

it was a nice place for to sleep. Confortable and clean. Thank you very much.

I had all the space I needed for a quick overnight. The private room has two single beds that we're comfortable. My kids enjoyed the open living room with minimal furniture. A good affordable space for families. The (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map directs to the parking area but you can't get to the place easily from there so maybe a different address would be more accurate. Thanks and best wishes!

チェックインの時間等の打ち合わせをして下さい。

I requested for a private room but didn't expect I will have my own shower and toilet. It's nice except there's no fridge or kitchen for use. But then, restaurants and stores are around (plus a Starbucks in a walkable distance). The owners are both very friendly guys and love to interact with their guests. I feel free to ask them anything. At nights it's very quiet as it's at a residential area. I like using the Hankyu line as I can easily go to both Kyoto and downtown Osaka easily. (Within 30-40min.) Monorail is also nearby, too, if you are using Itami airport. I stayed for 20 days here, as I just need a place for transition and I would recommend this place to my friends.

★場所:最寄駅から徒歩10分。平坦で閑静な住宅街を歩きます。静かです。 ★部屋:古いアパートをリノベーションした物件で、中は清潔でキレイでした。室外機が横にあり、窓は開けられませんが、光は差し込みます。 ★水回り:バスタブなしでシャワーのみです。 ★ホストさん:親切な男性のホストさんが周辺の地図などを下さりました。 ★他のゲストさん:外国の方が多かったです。 ゆったり過ごせてありがたかったです。ありがとうございました

今治へ行く途中に宿泊させていただきました。 アパートをきれいにリフォームされて、対応もとても親切でしたので、ホストの対応に旅の疲れも和らぎました。 クーラーもきいていて、居心地もよかったです。 吹田インターからも比較的近く、高速道路を使っての車移動の我が家には便利でした。近くには、セブンやEXPOなどもあり、近隣は団地で夜も静かでゆっくり休めました。 8月に滞在しましたので、朝はあっという間に暑くなり、早めに退出しました。ホスト様は10時から出勤でしたので、ごあいさつできず残念でした。 アパートをとてもいい雰囲気に改装されていて、感動しました。頑張ってください♪

Overall I really like to stay here. Place is really Big in Japan. Especially the private room, and price is cheap as well. The only downside is the place quite far from the station. But it is a great experience to feel really like a local.

차 없이는 힘들겠네요

静かな住宅地にあります。コンビニ、ファミレス近いです。高校生の合宿にはぴったりの施設でした。

totally no provide any factilies in the room only a hair dryer and they don't have any private car part but they mention this factilies available if you don't like the room they ask you to leave they don't care you satisfy the room or service. If you have any problerm, you need to settle by yourself or you leave. This is the attitude of the ower.

The room very large. I never seen in same price but you have to bring everything except hair dryer shampoo soap.

정말 좋았어요. 비록 관광하기에 위치가 아주 좋은 편은 아니지만..주위에 편의점도 가까이 위치해 있고 주인이 너무 친절했어요. 시설도 깨끗했고요 ^^ 기회가 된다면 재방문 하고 싶어요 지하철역은 아주 조금 멀지만 길이 쉬워서 금방 찾아갈 수 있어요:)

숙소근처에 편의점 마트가 많아서 좋았던 것같아요 지하철도 가까운 편이였고 주인분도 친절하셨어요 구글지도에 hostel bell치고 가면 쉽게 숙소 찾을 수 있습니다 숙소에서 교토랑 고베 오사카가기 편했던 것 같아요ㅎㅎ 가격도 저렴해서 오랫동안 묵었던 저로써는 좋았던 것 같습니다

Great place in a quiet neighbourhood, with a family mart and 711 in walking distance. Over all had a awesome time here

大阪に旅行するためこちらの部屋を予約しました。とてもよい一日を過ごしました。ありがとうございます!駅に歩いて15分ぐらいで探しやすいです。電車が遅れたため遅く来ましたが大家さんは最後まで待ってくれました。部屋もきれいで過ごしやすいです。 上面那段都是骗人的!千万不要住!房东态度超级差回复消息语气非常不好,民宿位置很难找我们在外面迷路了,房东不仅不来接甚至威胁我们不让我们住了。登记的时候一直在询问无关的个人信息。合租房,不锁门,房东会半夜进房间,整晚都缺乏安全感不敢睡觉。

Very friendly hosts, was a really lovely stay. Thanks

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

While when you get there you might think the location is a bit inconvenient, but it's actually a very easy ride to both Kyoto and Osaka, and for the price you get it at it is well worth it. The hosts are super nice and friendly, and will try and help you with anything they can. It's also quite near a 100 yen Lawsons and a Seven Eleven, and also a Coco's.

Nice people there

Las personas que atienden son muy amables pero nuestro cuarto no tenia agua caliente y estamos en invierno.

교통에서는 편리한 곳에 위치 하고 있어서 왔다갔다 하기에 좋았고 잠자리, 샤워시설 등 건물 자체가 깨끗하고 무엇보다 벌레가 없어서 너무 좋았습니다. 그리고 주인분이 친절하셔서 좋았습니다. 편의점, 마트가 가까이 있어서 편했고, 일본 주택가에 위치해 있어 마을을 둘러본다, 산책한다라는 느낌을 받아서 좋았습니다. 역시 다인실이라서 그런지 다른 나라사람들과 마주쳐서 대화도 나누어 보고 같이 음식도 먹으면서 색다른 경험을 할 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 다음에 또 일본을 오게된다면 이곳에 머무르고싶습니다.

수건, 샴푸, 슬리퍼는 가져가시는게 좋을 것 같아요 역에서 걸어서 13분-15분 정도 걸려요! 편의점 3분 걸려요! 가격대비 잠깐 머물기에는 좋은 곳 같아요! 또 머물고 싶어요

Great hosts. Lots of fun and very friendly.. cool hostel. We would definitely stay again :) thanks

Hostel bell was a good hostel experience, I have stayed in two other hostels in the Osaka and Kyoto area. The host was fantastic at communicating with us, checking in on us during our travels there, and answering all of my questions. The train station was a short walk and no problem for even my 4 year old. The beds were comfortable and a good place to rest after full days of touring in Osaka and Kyoto. The shared kitchen had everything needed. I would definitely recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a quick place to crash.

It was fantastic experience I ever had. Hosts are friendly and nice. I want to stay in there, If I could been to Osaka again.

the place was okay to stay

한적하고 조용한 동네에서 편안히 쉬고 가기 좋은 곳

숙소가 미나미이바라키역에서 10분내에 있어서 교통이 너무편리했어요. 한큐(SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)으로 카와라마치나 우메다,난바,도톤보리 전부 30분내외로 도착하니.. 사장님들 너무 좋았습니다ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 친절해요. 시설상태라던가 전부 좋았습니다.다음에도 교토나 오사카를 간다면 여기 머무를게요. 감사합니다ㅎㅎ

숙소와 역사이가 그리 가까운건 아니지만 찾기도 쉽고 주변에 마트나 편의점이 있어서 편했습니다 호스트분께서 체크인 시간이 넘어서도 도착을 안하니 연락을 해주시더군요 친절하고 좋았습니다. 숙소도 깨끗하고 물도 잘나오고 무엇보다 침대가 매우 편했습니다. 다시 꼭 방문하고싶은 숙소입니다

오사카대학 수험준비할때 이용했던 곳입니다. 학교까지 오사카모노레일로 한번에 갈 수 있기때문에 편리했습니다. 그리고 8인실이지만 저같은 경우에는 혼자 이용해서 더 안락했던것 같습니다. 호스트가 매우 친절하고 궁금한 것이나 필요한 게 있으면 바로바로 도와주었습니다. 처음에는 숙소를 찾는데 조금 시간이 걸리지만 익숙해지면 역까지 금방 갈 수 있습니다. 혼자서 긴 시간동안 일본에 왔었는데 호스트가 대화를 걸어주고 자주 관리하러 와주어서 큰 도움이 되었습니다! 가격대비 효율은 최고인것 같습니다.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and tidy. Great location for accessing public transit and good restaurants nearby.

As everyone has said Hero and Nabu are super nice and welcoming. Safe neighborhood, very clean, comfortable bed. Location is close to the train station, can be tricky if you come at night but feel free to ask them for directions or a local person. Location right around the corner from a 7 Eleven.

The hostel is within walking distance from the station which made getting around very easy. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff were very friendly and happy to help us find things to do and places to eat nearby.

I had a really fun time at hostel bell ! The host were kind and really friendly. I'll come back for sure !

房東非常親切熱情,英文溝通或日文溝通完全ok的,住宿品質普通,但空間夠大、床很舒服,也附有小檯燈,亮度足夠。 若要使用廚房與冰箱,建議事先告知房東,以免遇到房東外出用餐鎖住大廳,而無法取用。 住所附近是住宅區,所以入夜後滿寧靜的,而白天可以走在巷弄間體驗日本的傳統生活步調,鄰里居民很友善。 搭乘巴士交通很方便,搭乘電車的話需要步行一段路,但也不遠,算是交通便利又舒適的環境。

The nice house ,and he is very friendly。

La chambre privée est très grande, propre. Les hôtes sont à notre disponibilité.

可爱的房东,可以结识许多国家的朋友。位置稍微有点难找,其他都很棒!好评!

This place is little bit difficult to find at first, but Hiro always try to help me to find it. Hostel bell is nice, clean, and very comfy. Hiro and Nobu are increadibly nice and friendly.

Freundliche Gastgeber. Für das kleine Geld eine gute Unterkunft. Es gibt nur eine Dusche für alle Gäste, und die kann man nur während die Rezeption offen ist (10:00-22:00) nutzen. Gleiches gut für die Küche. Mich hat es nicht gestört. You get what you pay!

Place was freezing cold at night, no heating. Hot water didn't work. Cheap to stay though. I'd pay a bit more and stay at a different place next time

Este hostal es muy acogedor los anfitriones son muy amables y amigables te ayudan en cualquier cosa, la habitación compartida es muy espaciosa y la sala común muy agradable donde puedes pasar el tiempo ver la tele cenar. Le doy un 10

A fair but accomodation still a good deal. Good room condition among its kind.

!! You have to insert Hostel Bell in (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps!! Not the Adresse of the hostel, otherwise you wont find it. Hostel Bell was for the price unbeatable, the beds are good and Nobu is a very nice person. There is one toilet and one shower for 8 people but you can use one More shower in the living room. The place suits perfectly for travellers who want to See both Osaka and Kyoto. You can access both easly. Best greetings Adrian

Value for money and friendly hosts. They even give us an umbrella when we were about to leave since it was raining. It can be a challenge if you are traveling with a suitcase since the room is on the 2nd floor. But if you are a backpacker, then totally convenient. Please note that you also have to work around the shower time of 10:00 am to 10:00 pm at least during fall. I don't know if the schedule changes during summer. So if going around without shower is no issue in case you missed the schedule, then go for this hostel.

I like the neighborhood it's serenity and comfortable. Walking from station only takes u about 10-15min. The location is between Kyoto and Osaka and it isn't in the center of any of these city which is good cuz traveler can explore how Japanese daily life like. The big shopping mall is in 万博紀念公園 and it's really nice! However the room doesn't have much light and its bit hard for packing up stuff.

房东人很好。也会经常保持沟通

I stayed in hostel Bell for 6 nights. Only I booked the dormitory. When I arrived train station, hosts drove to picked me up. They are kind and nice. The lifestyle is very peaceful suited for me. I had great time there. They also drove me to train station for departure. Thanks.

Wonderful little minimalist haven. Hiro and Nobu do all they can to make your time in Osaka/Kyoto special and know when to leave you alone as an added (important) bonus. These guys are kind, gentle, and humorous, apt to get along with just about anyone. Would absolutely love to stay here again, especially after I learn some Japanese.

I had a wonderful stay at Hostel Bell. The hosts, Hero-san and Nabu-san, were kind, helpful and welcoming. They really make your stay here special as you just don't run into such hospitality so often. Aside from that, the actual hostel was very clean and had a nice vibe to it. The ryokan-themed lobby was a nice touch as well, I thought. Location is great--sandwiched in between Kyoto and Osaka--it makes for easy access to either city (about 25 minutes to Osaka station and 45 minutes to Kyoto station by train). The nearest station, Minami-ibaraki, is just a 15 minute walk from the place. Along the way, you'll find a 7-Eleven, which could make for a quick meal if you're on the go like I was. All in all, wonderful hostel; probably the best I've stayed at so far in Japan. I would highly recommend this to anyone and will probably stay again when I'm in the area myself. Happy travels!

Quiet and comfortable place for stay. The host were also very kind and helpful. The hostel is not too far from the station but it's a little bit hard to find, the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Map didn't work well for me because it led me to the other side of the hotel, from which you can't access to it because there is a ditch... very close to the old train model, so maybe best to meet the host there......

Both Hiro and Nobu were very friendly and they made sure my stay was comfortable as possible. The place is very comfy and clean as well

首先地理位置特别方便 离车站5分钟 关西四个城市之间来回电车费超级便宜 我玩了个遍 房主很细心 晚上因为手机没有电 联系不上 快找不到的时候 突然他们出来接我了 那一刻有回家的感觉 下次还会推荐朋友去 自己一个人旅行的话也绝对选这里 性价比超级高
