If you're looking for a place to sleep comfortably during the night and not that bothered with street noise I recommend the hostel. Staff is also very accommodating I have no complaints except that the toilet's bidet on our floor does not work. I love how unique and cozy the place is.

If you're a backpacker then this place might be good for you. But for someone with lots of baggage like me, you might want to find another place. This hotel is near the Glico signboard and located in the heart of Dotonbori so it's convenient. But if you chose the Dorm, loud voices from the crowded street outside will definitely disturb you (yes it's not sound proofed).

Very convenient location”

Very near the dotonbori area. If you arrive in Osaka from Kansai Int’l airport, it is around 12 mins. walk from Osaka station. But can access the city using the subway with 2 minutes walk to the nearest station exit. Location is very near to different restaurants and shopping center. Our private room in the 3rd floor is good enough for 2 persons. The lift is inoperational but the reception staff offered to help us with our luggage. Also, the 3rd floor shower isn’t working. So we either use the 2nd or 4th floor shower. One of my favorite part is their common area. Fully equipped lounge and kitchen. There was also a free instant ramen. They offer free use of umbrella as it was raining during that day. Overall, I would definitely recommend Hostel Q as it is near the shopping areas.

Value choice for solo travelers”

location, staff's language skill, personal space

I strongly recommend this hostel to solo travelers. 1. The house keeper speaks good English, who can give you good guidance about your travel plan. 2. Though I was arranged to stay in a big room (with about 16 beds inside I think, memory a little blurred), I felt comfortable in my personal space. The wooden bed is strong and you won't make much noise when doing anything in your bed. Once pulling the curtain closed, you can enjoy reading or doing anything in your bed. 3. The location is very good. It's along a river, and you can hear music from wine bars on the opposite side, but won't hear it any more after 11pm. You can take a easy walk of about only 3 minutes to Dotonbori, and you can also enjoy dinning in the nearby cafes and restaurants. I would say it's my best choice of budget hostel.

Location, attentive staff

Generally good; location and staff. However not for those who intend to shop and buy a lot. Taxis are not willing to pick you up from hostel, if they see that you've a lot of luggage. What worse, if your destination is nearby, in our case to Namba Station to board a bus to KIX. Hotel staff has done their best to try to make a reservation for taxis, but all to no avail. There're lots of taxis plying in front of the hostel, but none are willing to take us, as per reason mentioned above, even though we mentioned that we needed 2 taxis, and not one as perceived. After hailing almost 5- 6 taxis (that was around 6am+)one taxi finally stopped for us, and willing to pick us up together with all our baggage in ONE (1) taxi, and at a discounted price from hostel to KIX. Thanks to this gentleman, we do sincerely appreciate his help and unselfishness. Would only recommend this hotel if you're solo traveler and travelling light. You would not need a taxi, you can generally take a short walk(less than 10 minutes) to nearest station for your next destination.
