See the cats in the pictures, they are not a lie, they are there! The white one is Maru and black one is Kogo. Kogo likes to stroll around the house while Maru is always sleeping in a different part of the hostel. The staff is super welcoming, often times you can join them in during the festivities, dinner, or a night out. There is a FREE welcoming drink EVERY NIGHT at the bar where you can interact with both foreigners and locals. If it is too early or late to be at the bar, don't worry, you can still interact with the staff (cats included) and guests in the living room. They also rent out bicycles per day if you like to go touring around the city. If you want to meet new people from around the world and/or like cats, this place is definitely worth visiting!

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)

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! I stayed in the female dormitory, and it was incredibly quiet and peaceful — perfect for getting a good night’s rest. Everything was super clean and well-maintained, which made me feel really comfortable from the moment I arrived. I especially appreciated the thoughtful amenities in the bathroom: shampoo, conditioner, and even body lotion were provided. You can also rent a towel for just 100 yen, which is really convenient. The location is excellent — very central and easy to access. The staff were cute, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the overall warm atmosphere. I’m very pleased with my stay and would definitely recommend this place to other travelers. I’d love to come back again!

We had a wonderful stay in the hotel. The hotel was very clean, we booked a twin room with shared toilet and shower. The shared space were always very clean and never too occupied. The twin room was very spacious unlike the most of hotels in japan. The hotel was 30min of walk from namba, in a very calm neighborhood. There is a takoyaki restaurant nearby which was very good and cheap. The staffs at reception were very nice and friendly, they speak a very good english too.

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.
