Hostels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

"Everyone was very kind and it was very clean, but the two showers on the floor got a bit crowded in the evening and there was nothing in the change room before the shower to hang something. Still, I would definetly come again :)"

"I found the room to be quite clean, and the self-check-in process was very smooth. I have no issues with the host/establishment at all. It's also pretty close to the subway. The only downside is that it can get a bit noisy when there are more people, especially around 11 or 12 at night when some guests are still tidying up or chatting (this is more of a guest issue). If you're looking for a really good night's sleep, I'd still recommend a hotel."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Stay at Cafe & Hostel Kimi to Ichigo I had a wonderful stay at Cafe & Hostel Kimi to Ichigo and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly accommodating, friendly, and helpful. They made the check-in process smooth and were always available whenever I had questions throughout my stay. The hostel offers check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at 10:00 AM. One feature I especially appreciated was that guests are still welcome to use the spacious common area until 8:00 PM after check-out. This is incredibly convenient if you have a late departure, need a place to rest after shopping, or simply want to relax before heading to the airport or station. The facility itself is clean, modern, and very well-maintained. One of my favorite features was the large common area, which provided a comfortable space to relax, work, eat, or socialize with other guests. The common area also offers complimentary hot and cold water, as well as tea, which was a thoughtful touch and a nice way to unwind after a day of exploring the city. The bathrooms and toilets were spotless throughout my stay. The shower rooms were equipped with all the necessary amenities, and the sinks and vanity area were spacious, making it easy to get ready without feeling crowded. I stayed in the all-female dormitory, which felt very safe and secure since it remained locked at all times. The bunk beds were surprisingly spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room for a good night’s sleep. The Wi-Fi was strong and reliable throughout the hostel, making it easy to stay connected. For those looking for an affordable breakfast option, the hostel offers breakfast for around ¥500, which is both practical and reasonably priced. The hostel also provides convenient luggage storage services. Guests can leave their luggage before check-in and after check-out, making it easy to continue exploring the city without carrying heavy bags around. Long-term travelers will appreciate the laundry facilities. A washing machine is available for ¥200 per cycle (30 minutes), and detergent can be purchased for ¥50 per packet. I personally recommend using two packets of detergent if you have a larger load and want your clothes to smell fresher. A dryer is available for ¥100 per 30 minutes, but if you’re washing several days’ worth of clothes like I did during my four-night stay, I would suggest allowing around two hours of drying time. One thing future guests should note is that towels are not provided free of charge, so it’s a good idea to bring your own. However, towels can be rented at the hostel for ¥200 if needed. The location is another major advantage. The hostel is only about a 7-minute walk from Namba Station and other nearby train stations. Dotonbori, countless shops, restaurants, convenience stores, and entertainment spots are all within easy walking distance, making it an excellent base for exploring Osaka. Overall, Cafe & Hostel Kimi to Ichigo offers excellent value for money, outstanding cleanliness, great facilities, and warm hospitality. Whether you’re a solo traveler or visiting with friends, it’s a comfortable, safe, and welcoming place to stay. I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Osaka."

"This was my first time staying in a capsule hotel, and overall, this one was great. Even with my mild潔癖 (germaphobia) and light sleep, I found it perfectly acceptable. The hotel hosts guests from all over the world, and during my stay, everyone on my floor was quiet and considerate. The hotel provides a full set of toiletries, including facial cleanser, toner, and lotion, as well as hair dryers and curling irons. The front desk was incredibly accommodating to all requests (if you don't speak Japanese and struggle with English, using AI translation apps like Doubao is super convenient and accurate! 👍). However, they don't provide umbrellas on rainy days, so remember to bring your own. One minor downside: I found a slipper left by a previous guest in the luggage storage area. While it didn't really affect my stay, I hope the hotel pays a bit more attention to cleaning. The area nearby is very quiet, with a Family Mart and a few restaurants. Even coming back at 10 PM, the streets weren't crowded; mostly just commuters, and I didn't encounter any strange people. P.S. If you're arriving via the **red Midosuji Line** and have a lot of luggage, it's really not advisable to use exit 23 due to the stairs! **Honmachi Station** has three lines, and walking through the station is a super long journey with many stairs, which can be a nightmare during rush hour! I recommend taking the elevator from the exit circled in the picture (the map doesn't specify the exact exit number, but essentially, after exiting the elevator, you'll be on the roadside, facing a TASAKI store) and then walking to the hotel. It's a bit of a distance to the hotel but entirely flat, and following navigation makes it easy. The other two lines are relatively better, so you can choose an elevator exit closer to the street level."

"The room was spacious and the neighborhood was quiet, yet not too far from the subway station. Wandering through the small streets felt very much like being in Japan. The front desk staff was incredibly patient and communicated with me using a translator. The bathroom and shower were very clean. However, it's worth noting that this room only has a private shower, not a private toilet."

"The location is great, easy to find. Lots of shopping and eateries in Tennoji. It is also directly accessible by JR Haruka if you are coming from KIX. The tatami room we booked was spacious and comfortable. Lots of space to lay out and hang our things. Check-in was straightforward, front desk was polite and helpful. There was smell of cigarettes near the lift, but we were happy that the room and corridor did not."

"Service is very nice and helpful. I got a lot of tips that were very valuable to me. Near the metro line. Shower is provided only for women with excellent cosmetics for people who care for the skin. I recommend. If I ever welcome to Osaka, I'll be sure to come back."

"I had a wonderful two-day stay here. The hygiene was impeccable, and the room was quite spacious. My favorite part was the communal kitchen in the common area. I wasn't quite used to Japanese food, so it was a lifesaver that the kitchen was fully equipped. I could prepare my own meals."

"A great hostel if you can sleep through the noise. U get a free locker for your stay. The lobby is well equipped with a refrigerator, one small stove top, hot water, sponge and soap and so on. The hostel is very close to Dotonbori. The bed is comfortable but because of the people in the room and the train, it was kinda hard to sleep, but u get used to it. All in all for the cheap price it's a great hostel."

"The location is very convenient, right in front of Zoo-mae Station and within walking distance to Tennoji. The room was very simple, just a tatami mat. My room had ventilation, but the heater wasn't working, so the room was quite cold. The restroom was shared by both genders, and there was only one... The shower situation was the most inconvenient. Women could only use the bathroom for one hour, from 9-10 PM. Because there are more male guests, men had a longer shower time (5-9 PM)."
