IM is hard to find at first but once you have figured out a route it is super easy to the train station from the shop alleyway. Has everything you need, great wifi and a fridge however nothing to cook on. Great for location, has heating and wifi in rooms and the living area to hang out in. If you want a cheap place with basics this is the place to stay.
This is a shared room hostel, I like here because the host and the staff are friendly, and it gives me an opportunity to meet people coming from other countries, we can share our own experience and our plans in Osaka.
Stayed in a room with a bunk bed with my friend, beds were comfortable and we had a key for the room. The staff was friendly and the hostel was easily accessible from the station. There is an excellent Indian/Nepal restaurant in the covered shopping street just 5 min away.
My daughter and I enjoyed IM Guest House. She wanted a little more traditional place during our vacation and this worked well for us.

Good but not great.
Staff are friendly and the room is convenient enough. Could do with a few more details, lamps, tables tv etc. Current set up is more like a boarding house for students than a ryoukan. Once you are checked in you can come and go as you please, which was great.
