Would definitely come back to The Pax Hostel. As soon as I arrived the staff were incredibly attentive. The facilities were great. I enjoyed the rooftop. The location is also great— near a couple of train stations, don Quijote, and Tsūtenkaku. Overall enjoyed my time here.

Good location, comfortable beds, helpful staff but can get a little loud in the night from noise outside so light sleepers might want to make a note of that. Apart from that, a decent stay very close to the food street.
