A lovely cosy lodgement with a lovely owner and the staff, featuring two lovely signature cats !!! Two little kitties could be very shy in the first place, so you have to draw on your tenderness and eagerness to make them open their heart to you. Extraordinarily lovely and nice vibe inside the hostel, and hostel is intrinsically connected to a small bar with the same name! I was really swamped by my hectic tour schedule in Osaka and nearby places. But why don’t you shoot a drink with the super sweet owner and the staff? If you don’t speak Japanese at all, that would be absolutely fine. The owner is a real Japanese and can speak better English than I do! Just be chatty whenever you fancy!

The cats! The sleeping pods have a glass window where you can gaze at the cat cafe space, and following what the kitties are doing is endlessly captivating! Staff was friendly and helpful, and we really loved the fact that this is a rescue cat cafe, where rescue cats get another chance at a better life <3 The attention to cat themed detail is crazy, even the body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the shower were cat themed! And, hostel guests get a complimentary 1 hour in the cat cafe with the cats, either after closing time for other customers (20-21) or the next morning before opening (11-12) so you don't have to share the cats attention with other customers. The staff helped us get acquainted with the cats and told us what kind of approach each of them enjoys, if they like to be approached (some are still very reserved and keep to themselves, which is very okay, of course).

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

    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.
