Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 14th November 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: Very good place to stay, located near the subway station. Quality / price ratio is really good. Lots of restaurant and shops around the hostel. If we come back to Osaka, we will come back in this hostel if possible

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 29th October 2008 Female 31-40 4/5 Comments: The staff were excellent - so helpful - providing us with trains and connections from JR Namba to the airport as we were flying out the following morning (without us even asking for them). It\'s a little dated but very clean and you can\'t beat it for location right beside Dotombori.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Singapore 18th October 2008 Female 41+ 3/5 Comments: The floormat was smelly.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Japan 5th November 2007 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: Probably used to be nice, but a little run down. In a redlight distric type street, although quite convenient to a good bit of Osaka. Not the easiest place to find, but we made it. Staff was unfriendly, and actually made us leave our key with them when we went out to dinner. Never found out if that was normal or not. Probably won\'t stay their again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Iceland 8th September 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: The staff was friendly and the room was great; also bigger than what we'd gotten used too. To find the place, we had a taxi call the hotel to ask for directions. I'd recommend ordering (Japanese) breakfast at this hotel. The breakfast was good, but the best part was starting the day off by having it served to our room. Great service. If anime/manga/maid cafes is your thing, don't miss out Den Den town, which is within walking distance.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Thailand 6th August 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: good location

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 25th July 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: This place was ok, it was in a central location, but in a red light district so there were heaps of brothels around. but it had a nice japanese bath and the rooms themselves were nice and clean for the cheap price. Although it is really hard to find and dont rely on the directions they give you, google it or something before you go otherwise your stuck in a red light district asking for directions.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating South Korea 2nd July 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: This was the best place I stayed in Japan. It is really close to Dotombori and Namba, main points to start sightseeing. The place was really clean and spacious. Staff was really kind also. I highly recommend Kaneyoshi Ryokan.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Norway 27th June 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Excellent that they let me cancel the last night and paid 0.9 back. Not much English speaking skills, but that's common. Very spacey room. Nice bath. Excellent location. Cheap.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Japan 19th June 2008 Male 25-30 4/5 Comments: The location is perfect. Its right in the heart of the action. My room was gigantic. A professional hotel at a good price. The staff was very kind. Highly recommended!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 7th June 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: friendy and helpful staff, very clean & tidy and rooms well serviced. good central location, 12pm curfew as usual with ryokans can hinder partying but you'll get that everywhere. would stay again for sure.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 28th April 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: Normal hotel room. Excellent location.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 10th May 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: Kaneyoshi was great. I loved the experience. My only concern it that I really wanted the traditional breakfast. I assumed it was included or i could pay for it. However I was never given the option and when i went down during the breakfast hours they said i had to sign up before hand. I really did enjoy the hotel but this could do with clearing up.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 26th April 2008 - - 4/5 Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay here. The breakfasts were excellent but a little early for my teenagers. As we were here over the weekend, it did get quite rowdy at night in the area around the ryokan which made getting to sleep a little difficult. Overall, an excellent budget ryokan.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 17th April 2008 Male 31-40 3/5 Comments: A very nice traditional ryokan. Nothing to complain about, but as common in rykans no additonal things to have fun.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 18th April 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: I would recommend this Ryokan to anyone,we had a great stay here. The location is great, probably a little difficult to　find initially however we were first time novice travellers in Japan. One tip for Ryokan owners would be to put an English map & Japanese map up on the web. We would stay here again for sure!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 8th April 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: After walking through the area completely lost, we rang reception for directions and the host came and rescued us!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 2nd April 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: The ryokan is abit run down. The surroundings was alittle dark and dirty. It is just behind the busy Domdomburi where you can get lots of food and shop ard. It is near Nipponbashi stn instead of Namba stn so travelling by subway is alittle inconvenient as Namba is the main exchange stn. The best of the ryokan is the nice comfy blanket. The room is spacious. The worst was the shower tap. The flow of the hot water was irregular.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 18th February 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Nice quiet little place to retreat to in the middle of a raucous, neon part of Osaka. Great value, even though the shower was emotionally challenged.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 9th February 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: thankyou for the wonderful time we had at kanayoshi ryokan - you made our stay very enjoyable. Linda, Anna, Jacob and Oliver.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 1st February 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: I enjoyed my stay here in the ryokan-style room. The hostel is very easy to find, even arriving on my own at 10pm without directions. My room was very quiet even though the street was the sort of place where businessmen party - although it has some dodgy-looking nightclubs, it didn't seem dangerous or intimidating to a solo female walking around.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 14th December 2007 Male 31-40 4/5 Comments: Wonderful place to stay, great location not far from the subway (follow the 'how to get there easy' instructions below), friendly staff who are helpful and the rooms are great and feel really traditional. I'd definitely stay here again and will be asking for the same room!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Scotland 6th December 2007 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: really nice place to stay for a japanese experience and fairly good location for going out and shopping etc directions are a nightmare, best to go to information centre in the station and asking for directions before leaving exit 14, we were lost for 90 minutes...not good with the rucksack on haha
