Hostels in Osaka PrefectureHostel

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.

Lovely experience. Rooms and toilets clean. Simple check in process. Owner very kind. And so close to nishikujo station.

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.

Great location and a welcoming vibe, the staff greeted me every time I came and went. Beds and bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

Great location for the hostel. Everything is nearby and easy to reach by metro. The staff is really friendly and they speak English quite well.

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.

(Two night stay in mid-October, 2025; review cross-posted to Agoda.

I was a bit scared because this was my first ever time solo traveling but honestly this place was amazing. I stayed here for 8 nights.

This place is so cool. Walk in and change into indoor slippers, the music is boppin. On the river and our 6th floor room had an amazing view. Bed super comfortable.

Stayed for two nights in a private room on a mixed floor. Everything appeared clean (toilets seemed to be cleaned daily) and the staff were friendly.

Nice dorms with curtains for privacy. On the better end of the spectrum given large number of people sleeping (30). Bathrooms are nice and clean and free amenities are provided.

We booked for 3 nights, and the stay is clean. The bathroom and shower were shared but very clean. The host is very friendly, speaks English quite well, and is very helpful.

Perfect! Staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is really cozy and homely. Easy to make friends with other travelers. Dorm is quiet and clean.

Lovely people but the dirtiest place I’ve ever been to in Japan! And one of the most unhygienic places too. I got bed bugs from here.

I had a layover in Japan for a day. It was my first time visiting Japan, and I'm glad I chose this guesthouse.
All the facilities are clean and the host is really nice and friendly.

Kokuro, the host, is lovely and speaks very good English.
Late check in was no problem.
Beds were very comfortable.
House was VERY clean.
Highly recommend.
