Hostel Backpackers Hotel Toyo

557-0002 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka, Nishinari-ku Taishi 1-3-5, Japan –

*7.8* Spa World: only 3 minutes away! (800 feet by foot)

*8.2* Shinsekai: only 6 minutes away! (1,550 feet by foot)

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

to get started.

Great location. Got 2 metro platform. If got time can give a walk then can reach Tsutenkaku area. Inner basic facility is complete.

Maggie, Malaysia

You get your own room next to a train station for the cheapest price I've seen in Japan. A good place to socialize! Lots of foreigners are in this hostel for long stay, they are the perfect gateway to Osaka, but they are poor so offer them a beer or two.

É, France

Helpful staffs, really good location, reasonable price. Would definitely be here again.

Gabriel, China

easy access from shin imamiya, easy to find, confy bed, spacy bedroom, clean toilet and bathroom, friendly staff

Raka, Indonesia

Location is nearby to Jr Line and Nankai Line easy to get to Kansai Airport. comfy futon lovely common room and staff are friendly ;)

Sake, Thailand

The two attendants (forgot to ask their names) who assisted me during the check in were very accommodating, It might be the protocol and part of their tasks but after a long trip were you will be greeted with smile, small chat and warm hospitality makes a lot of difference. As a frequent international traveler, these kind of personalities makes me feel at home no matter how thousands of miles away I maybe. The place I stayed maybe not as fancy as others but the positive vibes, different culture and the people you meet within the place creates a unique environment to stay. It's quite hard to find a budget room in the area since most offered are dorm type bunk beds or capsule which I prefer not to stay. The privacy and local culture made this place possible. Comfortable and safe at the same time. I'll definitely book this place again when I'm nearby.

Phillipe, Philippines

Third time here, and it didn't change that much. And I didn't mean it in a bad way, because I feel like whenever I go to Kansai, I would always stay here. You could get your own private room for 20 dollars, and that's a great find in a place like Japan. The location's great! About four train lines pass through the area. Convenience stores, supermarkets and restaurants are everywhere and in walking distance.

Ronan, Philippines

Very friendly staff, clean common rooms, close to metro stations!

Charles, Switzerland

Unbeatable value for money. Very conveniently accessible, compact Japanese-style rooms. Great for privacy.

I would have liked a safe in my room. Also, there isn’t a lift (but the staff kindly helped me take my bag up the stairs anyway).
The hostel was clean and pleasant, with a very friendly feel to it. All the commodities were there (laundry, hot showers with shampoo conditioner and soap provided, towels to rent cheaply, common room with kitchen etc) and my room was small and simple but clean and pretty comfortable. Considering how low the price I paid was, this place is simply fantastic!

There's not much going on in the area, but easy enough to get around with the JR pass. Accessible.
Very close to a station. Easy to find, helpful staff. A front desk with actual staff makes a nice change. Excellent communal living area/fridge space etc. Some great party console games. Nice shower and toilet facilities, shared but never crowded. Quiet bedroom, comfortable futon. Good wifi. I really like this place!
