I tried to find one room for 5 person several site in Osaka and finally I found Chuo Selene. I had stayed in dormitory here with my other 4 friends. The room quite large, cleanliness and near the subway. Everything was good but after I checked in in the night, I just known that we have to prepare the sheet,blanket... More

I went here with other three girls, so we rent a dorm room. The dorm room is supposed for 6 people, but it's not peak season so we're having a blast for living in that room.

I stayed here with 5 other people in separate single Japanese-style rooms for 2300 yen/night. The good: Price--the cheapest place I've stayed in Japan. Staff--very friendly.

Bathrooms--shared Japanese-style baths, but there... More
