Osaka Hostels

"This hotel is very close to Nippombashi Station, about a 3–5 minute walk, which makes it very convenient. It is best for travelers without large luggage. The lockers are only backpack-sized. If you have a big suitcase, you need to place it against the wall, which is not very convenient when opening it. The cleanliness is good, and the amenities are decent. Overall, it is good value for money. Recommended for budget travelers or those staying for a short time."

"Fantastic atmosphere! The room was very quiet, and the air conditioning kept it nice and warm, so I had a really solid night's sleep! There's a lounge area with free drinks (see p4), which was a thoughtful touch. Plenty of convenience stores and vending machines nearby, and transportation was super convenient; I mostly used Honmachi Station. They provide free towels and slippers, and the bathroom is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser, makeup remover, and even toner/lotion! You can also borrow hair oil and curling irons. Plus, free breakfast is included. Even though I didn't get to try the breakfast and some of the amenities, I highly, highly recommend this place. Thanks to this spot, my solo trip in Japan felt so much warmer!"

"Solo travelers, you’re gonna love this! This hotel’s location is insane—literally right outside the subway station/scenic spot entrance, cutting down commute time big time. The room isn’t huge, but the layout’s so smart it never feels cramped. Super clean with no weird smells, and the bedding’s new and cozy—wake up totally refreshed! Amenities hit all the right notes: high-speed WiFi not good, AC that cools fast and stays quiet, and all the toiletries you need. Even the hair dryer has solid power (total game-changer!). Check-in and check-out are lightning-quick, and the staff gets back to you in a flash. The value for money is off the charts—10/10 recommend to all solo travelers wanting a stress-free stay!很好，符合这个价位👍"

"[Not worth it if over 300 yuan per night] Hygiene: It's clean, but compared to hotels and hostels in Japan, I'd say the hygiene level is average. Environment: The overall space is quite small. The corridors and toilets are all quite tiny. The beds are bunk beds, and the ceiling height isn't very generous either. Service: The service was just so-so. The person who checked me in was *********, and their attitude was a bit cold."

"My mom and I stayed in Kansai for 6 nights and 7 days. Initially, after reading reviews, I was concerned about late check-in, specifically if there would be staff available after 11 PM. After landing, transferring through various subway lines took quite a while. Fortunately, a staff member was still on duty past 11 PM that day. His English was excellent, and we had a seamless check-in. That evening, we discovered an amazing Yakiniku restaurant nearby, and there was even a Takoyaki stand open quite late. The FamilyMart convenience store was also conveniently located! Even though it's a hostel, all the facilities felt incredibly warm and inviting. There are communal facilities and kitchens available on both the ground floor and the top floor, where you can also enjoy lovely views of Osaka. It was a truly pleasant memory and experience. The only minor drawback was that the room was genuinely a bit small – it was even a little difficult for two people to move around. However, everything else was absolutely satisfactory. I would definitely be willing to stay here again on my next visit!"

"The room is tiny, just right for one person; any more and you'd be fighting for space. My 28-inch suitcase couldn't stay open, but there was room to store it when closed. There's hardly any staff around, which actually made for a very relaxed stay. The location is decent; if you're up for a walk, you can get to Shinsaibashi in less than half an hour. The closest subway station is about 500 meters away, a straight shot. There's a FamilyMart right next door, which is super convenient. The soundproofing isn't great, but the hot water in the bathroom was perfect for a bath."

"This was not my first hostel experience, and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. Let’s start with the positive aspects first: The location was absolutely perfect — I don’t think you could find a better place to stay in Namba. Everything was close by, and getting around was very easy. Also, the staff were extremely, extremely friendly, and we received fresh towels every day, which I really appreciated. Now, onto the things that bothered me: First, the cleanliness: It wasn’t really clean. In the showers, there was always a lot of hair and dirt in the gaps where you enter and exit, which was quite unpleasant. During my stay, someone vomited in the public sink area, and it was not cleaned up overnight — it was still there even at 10 a.m. the next morning. Because of that, the house smelled strongly of vomit for a while. That night, and in general, there was often an unpleasant smell in the kitchen area as well. Without wanting to discriminate, I noticed that many older people were staying at the hostel (since apparently there was no age restriction). Some of them would loudly clear their throats and spit phlegm into the sinks, even early in the morning, which was quite disturbing and unhygienic. Another issue was the temperature: The room was extremely hot at night, and since so many people were sleeping in one room, the air became very stuffy. Even inside your capsule, it was uncomfortably warm. One last point: On the day of arrival, the address on Trip.com was wrong, which made it very hard to find the hostel. It took me almost an hour and a half to find it, especially because it was very hidden with no clear signage outside. I really hope that in the future, there will also be an age limit for guests."

"Very close to Osaka Metro Doubutsumae station. Many shops and convenience store nearby as well. Room are okay, the only concern is the toilet are somehow broken. The public bathroom (onsen) is cool if you have no issue to be naked in public."

"The room is okay. The amenities are quite enough. The front desk is also friendly to us. The environment is really comfortable. Will consider to stay one more time. It is very near to walk to Dotonburi and Shinsaibashi. Very convenient to stay here."

"The front desk was run by a Chinese lady who was very welcoming. The hostel was clean and tidy without any odor. I slept very comfortably and had a good night's sleep. The glass soundproofing was very good and it was not noisy at all."
