best hotel, clean and feels like you're stepping into someone's living room on the common area. It's really social and the bar at the front with one welcome drink per day makes it easier to meet people.

The staff is so kind. The coffee is GREAT. Loved the chai latte. Also the beds are super comfortable and the people I met there, absolutely the best. Great energy in general, which is key when traveling alone. You have a lot of space for your things compared to other hostels I stayed in. And around the area you can do so many things. Also namba is really close. I went there walking everyday.

The cats were very well looked after. We had a lovely time playing with them. The staff were very attentive to the cats and spent lots of time cleaning up and feeding them. It is also a rescue and 2 were adopted while we were there. The hotel / Ryokan was very comfortable and clean. There were lots of lovely places to eat nearby. We would definitely stay again

Very good hostel. I stayed in the solo room for a little extra cost which was great! Bed was good, very quiet and facilities were very very clean. The hostel was a 2 minute walk from the closest station which was 1 stop from Osaka station which made it exceptionally easy to get around. I didn't really spend much time in the common room but the staff was very nice and welcoming. When I come back I will 100% stay here again!

The "capsule" hotel was more than excellent choice not only for one night stay. You have everything you need (bed, toilet, shower, small place to eat), the place is super clean, the staff is perfectly prepared for everything.

All hostels in Osaka

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was my second time staying here. Great location, friendly staff and very cheap. Previously I stayed in a superior capsule and I was surprised at how much space you have. This time I stayed in a standard capsule in the female dormitory and the bed area is quite spacious. The facilities are also very clean. I would definitely give this a go if you're going to Osaka for a short stay.

    Best hostel in Osaka for meeting new people, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The receptionist was willing to go the extra mile, he even shared his dinner with us. Late checkout was possible with no extra charge, the receptionist was willing to wait for me for a late check in, nice terrace and benches outside reception as well as kitchen and common parts. Beds were clean and comfortable had a good sleep, dorm was quiet at night, good AC. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for good value for money

    Very backpacker hostel vibes. Place is basically run by volunteers, this isn’t a bad thing but just know what to expect. Kitchen is good, common area easy to meet people. Super cheap, overall a decent stay, although personally wouldn’t be my first choice.

    Extremely cheap backpacker style accommodation especially considering that it is private rooms rather then bunk beds. Futons are surprisingly comfortable. Common room seemed to be quite busy most nights if you are the social type. Pretty good location, 15 minutes or so from Namba Station. Easy enough location to get around. "Poorer" area so provides an interesting and different look into Japanese life, always felt safe though. Several convince stores nearby to buy water and a breakfast bento on your way out sightseeing.
