Hostels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

"Great stay and everyone was very friendly and welcoming! The only downside is that it can be noisy at times as the room is not very well sound proofed, but overall we enjoyed our stay and the location is pretty convenient."

"The hotel is great. You have to take off your shoes when you enter, but the disposable slippers provided were of average quality. The bedding was quite clean, but there were some stains on the sheets, which looked like they hadn't been washed properly after the previous guest. The free drinks and breakfast were a nice touch, and the facilities were comprehensive. The bathroom had lotion, toner, and face wash, and the trash was cleared promptly. The main highlight is that for a hostel, the personal space is quite generous; you can even open a 28-inch suitcase in the aisle."

"I stayed in a 4-person dorm and the room was very clean and tidy. Aside from the beds, there wasn't anything else. Each bed had a thick, full-length curtain, providing excellent blackout and privacy. The shared bathrooms and toilets were also very clean, and the facilities looked to be of high quality. There was 24-hour hot water and smart electronic toilets. Honestly, I couldn't find any other faults besides the soundproofing not being great. The breakfast tasted good; it included a bowl of cereal with yogurt, a fried egg, two slices of bread, ham, sausages, and salad – definitely enough to keep you energized. I ate every last bit of it daily! The staff were also very kind and friendly."

"We took the Kansai Airport Rapid train at 1060 yen each from direct from KIX to Tennoji Station. Good to have a kind guy who brought us near to Cogo Tennoji just for a 7-minute walk. Check in was fast with Yasu ,the staff who attended us nicely. The 9- female dormitory was. clean and provided with a code to enter the room and a code to enter the main entrance of the hotel whenever you get home after 11pm. Shampoo, hair conditioner and body wash were free . Hair dryer is also provided but need to rent a towel . Toilet has bidet and clean. tissue paper is flushable . We have good roommates who value respect. The staff were nice and kind. They emailed me when my parcel arrived. So easy to commute by train to Nara, Kyoto and Kobe passing thru Tennoji Central Station. Thanks Trip.com and to Cogo Tennoji ! I will book again whenever I get around Osaka again!"

"If you're not a big fan of walking, this might not be your top pick. But if you don't mind an 800-meter walk from the subway station, Utopia offers fantastic value for money. I forgot to plan my trip around the weekend, which is how I luckily stumbled upon Utopia Guesthouse in Tsurumibashi. The owner is a fast-talking, dependable young entrepreneur who also runs a secondhand camera shop near Tsutenkaku Tower. The hostel just opened this September and features a 4th-floor rooftop terrace, which is quite a rare find in Osaka. Enjoying the breeze up there at sunset during my two-night stay was a truly special experience. The mattresses here are on the softer side, so those who prefer firm beds might want to keep this in mind. I slept very well, though—after averaging 5 to 6 kilometers of walking during the day, a hot shower back at the room knocked me right out. The water pressure and flow rate were fantastic, which shows they invested heavily in quality plumbing. The ground floor and the rooftop serve as two distinct common areas, where I was lucky enough to make some new friends. Together, we explored the nearby Tsurumibashi Shopping Street, where prices are noticeably lower than in central Osaka, featuring charmingly retro, Showa-era cafés and restaurants. For those craving Chinese flavors, there are also plenty of options. Most nearby cafés and restaurants are within a 300-meter walking distance."

"Lovely hostel/hotel in a good location in Osaka. Great value for the price. We originally had a room with a shared bathroom but asked to get a private bathroom and they gave us a new room! Lots of space with a desk and fridge. Really nice shared areas (lounge) and kitchen was well stocked. The electric stove can only be used by one person at a time but it usually wasn’t too busy. Close to metro/ grocery stores/ restaurants. Would recommend!"

"The room was clean and tidy, and the shared restrooms were brand new. Its location near Daikokucho Station makes it convenient to go anywhere, and it's close to Namba, with attractions and shopping centers all around. The front desk service was exceptionally attentive, especially a young Japanese female staff member who was meticulous in her service, spoke Chinese, and had a particularly radiant smile – the slightly plump one. Superb!"

"This is my second time staying here, and the location is incredibly convenient for shopping. Everyone is quiet, and there's a kitchen. I'll definitely be back next time!"

"Pros: - Plenty of showers - Private small locker - Can leave luggage in public area before check-in - Fridge + Microwave - Yotsuba& manga Cons: - No water dispenser - Wi-Fi isn't that great - Ran out of dishwashing soap and they never replaced it - Laundry is expensive. Washing clothes costs 100 yen more than the ones at the other hotels I've been to. Even though this one provides free detergent, it's still more expensive. Drying costs pretty much the same. Pictures have been included to show the instructions, price, and duration."

"Overall, it was a good stay, aside from the roaring train noise from the railway line above the building in the middle of the night. The front desk being open until 1 AM for check-ins is probably a compensatory measure for the railway noise. After all, it's rare to find a hostel front desk open that late in Japan! The hostel, from the beds to the toilets and showers, was very clean. You can make simple meals in the kitchen, and there's a 24-hour convenience store nearby. It's also quite close to Tsutenkaku Tower and the train station, making it convenient for buying food or getting around! The long-haired Japanese guy at the front desk was also very nice and helped promptly with any questions. It was a pleasant stay! But honestly, the noise was quite significant, so be prepared for that when you check in!"
