Hostels in Osaka PrefectureHostel

Definitely the most social hostel I’ve been to in my 3 month Japan trip. The staff is also super helpful with recommendations and anything you need especially Catalina.

As a solo traveler, it was nice to arrive at a hostel where there’s social events on in the evenings with other guests.

Its a Hostel, the shared space is enough for 5-6 people to sit at the main table and enjoy a drink/dinner. The shared spaces are clean and the rooms were clean besides the amount of dust in the room.

I stayed for about 4 days. The real star of the show here is the service. Everyone at the front desk was super helpful and kind. They spoke English and we're always helpful.

Extremely nice hostel. The staff were always so friendly and kind. I stayed in a room with several beds, but it was very comfortable and I slept well.

Great quiet location. It's a small hostel but very nice & clean. They also offer free breakfast. I like that they recommend things to do/see/eat too. You can even rent a bike if you would like.

I liked it a lot. It has a very cosy and calm atmosphere. They give you free earplugs which is very helpful. The staff is also very welcoming.

This is going to be a long Google review, but it’s definitely worth it.
From the moment I stepped into this place, I immediately loved the vibe and felt so welcomed by Ken.

I had a great stay, Ken was incredibly accommodating inviting me out the fridt night to sumo wrestling. Unfortunately I was unable to attend but the sentiment was really inviting.

What an amazing experience! This hostel really exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was super cozy and relaxed, making me feel right at home immediately.

The greatest part of this spot is the people you meet and lounge with including the staff, it all feels homey and cozey, chilling with the cats.

Super friendly staff!
And very nice guide!
I love this hostel I stay almost every time I visit Osaka. Ans kansai,
Sleep so good. Very clean!
Love design so cute area!

Good location and the owner was very nice and understanding.
I had stayed the night before heading to the airport and had my flight delayed.

Current staff very friendly and approachable. Everywhere is kept orderly and clean. Hot drinking water dispensing machine even 5-star hotels do not have. Comfortable lounge area.

Awesome value for the stay. Love the vibe here and Tomo was an excellent host! Wish I was here a bit longer to hang out.

Omg! I booked this hostile and never had I stayed in one and was trying to avoid coming even though I had paid. I'm very big on service and cleaniness.

20 minute walk to Universal and even shorter walk to train station. Easy access to city.
Spacious bunks and very clean facilities, well laid out kitchen.

Stopped in on a whim while visiting Osaka, it’s a fantastic little cafe and the banh mi rolls are absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients.

Had a wonderful stay at The Pax in Osaka. Beyond friendly and welcoming. Nice beds, bathrooms, and showers. Amazing restaurant on the ground level that’s nice to relax and meet fellow travellers.

Wondeful place to stay, for a day, a month or a year! Staff is amazing and speaks english!

Wow! I am impressed with their unique ways of existence. If you are interested in the possibility of an art to engage with the broader society, you would enjoy experiencing Cocoroom.

Perfect place to stay if you're visiting Osaka for sightseeing. It's walking distance from Osaka Castle as well as transportation options.

Had an absolutely great stay here, staff were beyond friendly we were practically treated as family.

Was pretty nervous for my first stay in a dorm but Takeshi and Yumi were fantastic hosts.

I really enjoyed my stay at this guesthouse. The location was in a nice quiet area of town, but was close enough to the station. The bed was comfortable and everything was really clean.

The vibes of this hotel is so calming and peaceful. I really like the aesthetics of the hotel and the rooms are nice too. The bed is especially comfortable and everything is very clean.

Hotel 2Z exceeded my expectations — clean, modern rooms, very comfortable beds, and a perfect location close to transport and Osaka's best spots. The staff was welcoming and check-in was smooth.

The most magical stay I’ve had so far — thank you, Nami!
Staying at IM Guest House felt like stepping into a home full of warmth, laughter, and human connection.

Nami was simply amazing. The location is very close to the stations, and there’s a market just a 4-minute walk away. The hosts were incredible—so accommodating and provided the best service.

Had the best time here. The host, Cherry, is the most amazing and welcoming person. She took us to have a Hanami under the Sakura trees and made sure we enjoyed ourselves.

Very warm, cosy stay with a lovely host. Came to Osaka early and was allowed to leave my belongings in the private room I booked.

The nearest subway to this guesthouse is Midoribashi (the bridge is literally green). It's like 30 mins from Dotonbori by subway + walk.

Place: I booked the hostel to be access a more calmer part for a good price. The green line brings you to the center quickly and 15 min walk to Osaka Castle Park.

This is Wa N Wa 1. There is another Wa N Wa a little closer to Tsuruhashi Station. Both are located in "Korea Town" of Ōsaka and are run by the same host.
If you book a bed via Booking.

Had a lovely stay here with my two friends ❤️ the beds are comfy and it feels like home! The owner Sonik is the best — so welcoming and friendly 🫶🏼

Very nice Place. We stayed for a week and had a very pleasant time.
The rooms and common rooms are kept clean at all times and the host is very courteous.

Don't hesitate to book this place if you're looking for a hostel. I stayed here for 5 nights and came back to a newly clean bed everyday.

This place is a gem.
Stayed there for a whole week.
Simple, cheap, clean, good location in center of Osaka.
But most importantly the owner Julio is super kind.

The owner is friendly and knows conversational languages of other countries, if you want to visit, do stay here.
Cheap and comfortable.

Had a great stay here. There are a lot of workers so everything was pretty spotless even to japanese standards the toilets were always clean and the beds were comfy. It's.

Located in a quiet residential area right next to Koreatown (Tsuruhashi Station). It’s just two stops from Namba, making it easy to get around Osaka’s key attractions.

Had a good experience with the single room. The rooms are quite small, but they’re perfect for those who just need a private space to sleep.

The room is a bit tight but clean and comfortable. The common area are cozy. The walls are quite thin, though thankfully our neighbors were respectful and quiet.

Went here last summer, and it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location is excellent, with Shin Osaka station being a 5-7 min walk from the hostel.

This place is amazing! Very well kept and I appreciated how kind the staff are.
It is also in a really cool place.
I have not yet been in a hostel that is at the top of a building like this!

Super affordable hotel in an area that has character. Had my own room (quite small but could move around) with a small TV. Wi-Fi was reliable and fast.
