Rota Hostel is very convenient, less than a minute on foot from JR Noda Station on the Osaka Loop Line. The staff were pleasant, and there's self check-in for late arrivals. Guests can use the patio, lounge, and kitchen, and lockers are available if you're not in a private room. My private room was tiny, just enough space for a bed and small fridge, so there wasn't much noise inside. I could clearly hear children running in the hall until I put in earplugs. Also, reaching the hostel means climbing to the third floor, so it won't work if you can't manage the stairs. The entrance is easy to miss, so watch for it.
