Arigatoooo🧡💚🩷I don’t think there are enough words to express the beautiful experience at Mad Cat :) I felt like home from day 1 and it was my home base throughout almost two months in Japan. So many beautiful moments together, so much fun and good vibes. It really isn’t just a hostel, it’s a home stay experience with people who genuinely take care of their guests and treat them with an open heart 💗Rijeko, Yoshi, James, and Pedro thank you for making my time in Japan so much more memorable💛

The location is very convenient for sightseeing. Obviously the major draw is the cats and they did not disappoint - this lodging was my teen daughter's main request for our trip and she enjoyed having time with the cats after closing. The variety and breadth of amenities were unexpected and appreciated. My allergic-to-cats mother-in-law did not experience any discomfort in the Ryokan (she elected not to enter the cafe)

The location is great, pretty close to namba e dotonbori. Room clean and the common space very cozy and welcoming. The best part is the people working there, kind and always smiling; I was invited to a local event and had a great time with them. Definitely reccomend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
