Lock in a great price for Backpackers Hotel Toyo – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

It has many of the basic facilities, is clean and near the train station and they provide free coffee.

Yuen, Canada

I have stayed at the Toyo a few times. It's functional plus you get a single room to yourself. Nice location close to Shinimamyia Station on the loop line. Nice 1st floor lunge that is the heart of the hostel. Didnt seem very busy this time. I always know what i'm getting with the toy and always enjoy staying there.

Richard, United Kingdom

The staff is extremely nice and helpful! The hostel is located in the south of osaka .. easy reachable but not rhe nicest area All in all very nice atmosphere for a low budget accommodation

Heba, Germany

This is the 2nd time I stayed in this hotel. And there'll be the 3rd for sure. Whenever I go to Kansai, I'll always book this hotel. The staff is so nice and the room is quite good enough, with reasonable price located in the good place for travelling.

Trang, Vietnam

I liked the location, though some people might not: the hostel is located in a district with many day laborers and homeless people, but for me, that made it more interesting. There are several entertainment areas very nearby, like the 新世界 Shin Sekai area. Different subway lines are nearby, as is the 一心寺 Isshin Ji buddhist temple. The single room had a nice Japanese flair, it was clean and the AC worked well. I slept well on the futon. The guy at the reception gave me a great reccommendation for a Ramen restaurant, and the nearby 24h Japanese restaurant that he recommended was also both affordable and tasty. Complementary anti hangover drink, but had no opportunity to test it.

Marek_de, Germany

You get a Japanese style single room. There is a small common area.

Staffs here, international atmosphere here, environment is so cool, location is excellent

Janice, China

Good quality price overall Nice staff Good localization Good backpacker vibe if you’re into that

Yohan, Canada

Everything, for a hostel at that price to get his own room !!! Just a little bit of privacy when you travel in Japan is kind of rare (for that price again). Friendly staff, location is amazing ... thank you

눇It's in a great location. Walk to food at Shinsekei and the malls on Abeno. Plus close to the zoo and museum. Very close to the trains too. Just be sure to get on the right platform for your train. Dotonbori is a short train ride away. It very much reminded me of a college dorm. I got a tiny private room. Showers and bathrooms are clean, private, and lockable. Laundry is adequate. I would definitely stay there again. Staff is very friendly. Great Wi-Fi too.

“Single room was a nice, but kitchen needs regular cleaning. Guests should be told to be quiet.”

눉There was food trash lying in the sink over night, like raw egg shells and vegetable peels. There should be rules and trashcans for immediate disposal, as this is not hygenic and attracts Bugs. Also the water boiler or something was very dusty. The kitchen should be cleaner. I saw a different cockrach in the toilet area each day: a tiny one, a small one and a big one. It's an older builing so that's pretty common, but I didn't see any countermeasures like cockroach traps. Guests were sometimes talking loudly on the corridor until 2am. Generally thin walls. I didn't like the crowd too much, but can't blame the hostel for that.
눇I liked the location, though some people might not: the hostel is located in a district with many day laborers and homeless people, but for me, that made it more interesting.
