Osaka Hostels

"It's a good location for travellers looking to explore Osaka. It's close to Osaka Castle and the local underground lines while remaining within a reasonable distance of the city's main downtown district. It has all the needed amenities, fully furnished kitchen equipped with a stove, microwave, and all necessary cutlery, and coin operated laundry. While the dormitories are simple and functional rather than luxurious, they are consistently clean and well-maintained. The sleeping areas are sectioned off to feel private and quiet."

"This hostel was my favorite during this trip, and I only wish I could've stayed longer than two nights! The rooms use a password lock system, which changes regularly. Each room accommodates nine people and has two toilets and one shower, which is a sufficient amount. I didn't take photos inside the room, so I can only share pictures of the surroundings near the hostel. Compared to Namba, Tennoji is much quieter and cleaner, and the transportation is very convenient. It felt like a lot of the guests were long-term residents, and everyone was very well-behaved."

"Excellent value for money! Great location 4 min walk from subway station and 2 minutes walk from bus stop. Clean bathroom, toilets and powder room despite its high occupancy during new year eve and long weekend. Friendly English speaking staffs at reception , Breakfast, towels, slippers and safety box with key are provided free. There are face cleansing products and face lotion provided in shower and powder room too. Many k-beauty products are available to try for free on request basis , I tried the collagen machine for free as well. Overall I’d rate it 9.5 over 10. It’d be good if check out time can be extended to 11am and breakfast time to 10.30am."

"The locationn is very close to shopping areas such as Namba, Shinsaibashi, and Kuromon Market. There's also a large, inexpensive supermarket nearby, located behind the building. The accommodation is clean, towels, liquid soap, and shampoo are provided. The bed is a good size, not too narrow. My room was on the second floor and had limited space for luggage. There's a corner outside the room with tea and coffee service and a refrigerator, but it's quite cramped. You can buy food and heat it up there. Because the accommodation doesn't have much common space, you need to be mindful of noise levels."

"I stayed for 5 days in Osaka and I booked a private bedroom with private bath on trip.com, and on the night I checked-in to the hotel I was first assigned to a bedroom that literally had a shower (bath) BUT NO toilet. I had to show the receptionist my booking description which reads “private bathroom” and they switched me to a room it’s the full bathroom with a mini tub. Just take note when you book the room that they do have different type of rooms including one with a shower but no toilet. The new room I was assigned was fine, clea bedding and all, with a small fridge and hairdryer . The location of the hotel is both good and bad, good the good is that it’s in a convenient location to attractions and shopping centers, walking distance to the Osaka Castle and Shinsaibashi, but the bad is that it is right next to a very busy highway, literally right under the bridge. Had I known this I probably would pay a bit more and go with a different hotel. But, if price is your priority and you don’t mind being next to the highway then there isn’t much to complain about. Staff are helpful and the hotel is generally well kept."

"It's very close to Shinsaibashi Shopping Street and a few hundred meters from the subway station. The location is perfect. Namba Station on the Nankai Line from the airport is also within a 10-minute walk. The front desk staff is very nice. The room rate is affordable. I will choose this hotel again next time."

"The location seemed great at first, but it's actually not that close to the subway station. The surrounding area is full of food streets, and there isn't a convenient store nearby either. Perhaps because there are too many people staying here, it gets quite noisy in the mornings. I haven't encountered this situation in other capsule hotels."

"Imano Osaka Shinsaibashi Hostel is a gem for solo travelers. The room was clean and comfortable, just what you need after a full day exploring. Breakfast was a nice surprise—healthy plus unlimited drinks, which is always a win. Location is super convenient, just a short walk to the train station and surrounded by konbinis for quick bites anytime. Everything felt easy and hassle-free here. If you’re traveling alone and want something practical, cozy, and well-located, this place hits the mark."

"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."

"The location is fantastic, very close to Nihonbashi Station, and there's a FamilyMart right across the street – super convenient! I stayed in the women-only section and was lucky that there weren't many snorers, so I slept really well. You can rent bath towels, and I even did some laundry. It's shoe-free inside, so bringing disposable slippers was a smart move, especially since the wet areas were a bit damp. The locker with a key is small, but I traveled light, so I was able to store my belongings there before heading out. The fridge was empty, so I had no problem putting my drinks in. I also appreciated being able to use the tea and water dispenser in the common area with my tumbler. Getting plain miso soup was a nice bonus too! The Wi-Fi connection was perfect, and I was grateful that I could borrow an umbrella on rainy days. I'd definitely like to stay here again!"
