This place is such a gem- it's one of those spots you can truly feel "at home." So many sweet little touches and amenities included in the price- even though I didn't use many of them I really appreciated the extra services they included. I wanted to extend but they were full. Don't hesitate to book this spot!

As a cat lover, this was an amazing experience. But also to experience a ryokan. The sleeping area was comfortable and we might have an idea of why many cats prefer boxes to sleep🤭 We were just a little bit too excited to sleep tightly as we could miss some action with the cats. You can choose when you would like to have one private hour with all cats. We chose right after the closing time on the same day of our check-in as we couldn’t wait any longer to meet the lovely felines. All cats have been strays and are being well taken care of at this place. Each character is respected and they have enough space to retreat. The staff is very nice, kind, and attentive, and even though English skills were lacking, we could communicate well. The sleeping area is clean and has a lot of nice amenities. The bathroom was very practical and well thought through. We recommend staying here without hesitation and would love to come back again one day and buy something from the souvenir shop to support these cats and the facility. This is one of the few places where the cats' well-being is taken care of. Their work is ethical; you can even adopt a cat after some process.

The rooms were very very spacious ( we had the private room) compared to all the hotels in Tokyo, it was 12 Tatami mats. My daughter absolutely loved the large space. The bathrooms were also spic and span and spacious too. Location was great also, walking distance from Tennoji station (North Exit), which made commuting easier. You can catch the direct train to USJ We would like to come back here again if we even visit 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.
