Find Guest Houses in Osaka, Japan

Wonderful wonderful guesthouse! Shinya, Barbie and Kiyo are the bomb! Etsy is spot on in reinforcing guesthouse policies and good at what she does. Special shoutout to Kiyo for immediately taking action when I told him I was freezing in the room haha! All of them plus one lady who’s not on the wall are super good conversationalists in english, chill and warm. Free breakfast is cool, lots of proactive helpful information throughout the walls and desks and shelves that guests need. Beds are comfy! The establishment felt pro, clean, safe and well-thought. Amount of toilets and showers are just right and the laundry units are good, too. totally returning with other family when we return next year and recommending to friends. Suggestions: give the option to check in early with reasonable fee for tired travelers, and have one or two other varieties for breakfast. Thank you Osaka Guesthouse, excellent job! Loved it there!

The location is very good. The hotel is located at 3rd floor while the subway station is just at the same spot, take a lift to underground and it will do. Got few restaurants nearby. The hotel is very new & clean. The staff, Ryota is very helpful. 1 bad thing is just whole floor consists of beds & rooms w/o partition wall, so if there is someone who is noisy the whole floor could heard it, but depend on who you met though. Will come visit here if vacation at Osaka again.

This is my first time staying at a hostel. Surprisingly it was pleasant. Was looking for a cheap place within Tennoji area (need to catch early train to KIX airport). Spend less than 8 hours here, so really was just looking for a place to stay the night after a full day out in Osaka. We checked in at 10pm and out at 5am. Pros - although the facilities are shared - the place has everything - kitchen to cook, 2 showers (great water pressure). Cons - Location felt a bit remote. did not see any nearby convenient store. There's a supermarket - 10 minutes walk. The showers are on the ground floor, so if you have go down a steep staircase. Also bringing up luggage is also a challenge. (We had help from the staff to carry it up. Appreciate it!) . Walked for 20 minutes to the train station (Haginochaya). Tips: Take train from Tengachaya Station instead - additional 10 minutes walk. A lot more train stops there)

It was my first solo trip and first visit to Japan and I've already missed it! Staffs are very lovely and helpful! The first day I emailed due to unexpected flight delay, they let me delay check in time one hour later. There was a morning that I had bad mood (from last night's lost way and stomach problem). Tried to ask a staff about ramen casually with my poor Japanese, but I might turned out to be rude, she answered patiently and I forgot to say the greetings as when Japanese people going out, even a bye. Yet they still did. I felt bad and heart-warmed at the same time (Thank you, Ichiran ramen was awesome!), couldn't stay long but I imagine you'd have a wonderful day in Osaka just hanging out with them alone. Also they'd silently change your towels like ninja and clean the shower few times a day, so you can't really blame them if still seeing something you don't like. In terms of facilities, it's an open space for many beds in entirely floor (I usually come back very late, so if you see bad reviews about noise around sep. 14-18, that'd prob. be me :/), there are curtains as doors which you can hear people whispering or outside door sounds. I suggest guesthouse could sell ear plugs or bring your own. I stayed at 2nd floor and there was a long desk with chairs, water heater next to the beds, but you'll have to fill the water at 1st floor which opened until 10 pm. Tho there are many vending machines outside 24hr. or shower water which I drank (shower room is awesome!). There's also a washing/drying machine. 3rd floor has a balcony for smoking area (I didn't go up there so don't really know about it or 1st floor room). The interior is beautiful overall. Wish the staffs and guesthouse all the best and I'd definitely love to stay there again!

It was a nice choice for my schedule. I stayed in Osaka for a night after landing, this place is close to a station where I can take a Kintesu train to Nara - just within 5 min walking. Varied kinds of restaurants are around the area, you can still find food at late night (less choices after 11pm). The accommodation overall is worth it, clean and well equipped, room was not crowded, bedding was not bad. But do try to take care of your own belongings, I found some of my money missing after leaving there...

Had a great time staying there. (4 Nights) The Place is clean and everything works. The bed was very comfortable and even though I was sleeping in huge dorm room I had no problem falling asleep or felt that there is nor enough space. The owner is pretty cool guy and gives the hole place a more friendly and welcoming experience. We talked about different things in the area, he taught me some Japanese and even bought me new Breakfast after my first one burned! Only negative things are that it’s not the most social place to meet other travelers, everything is very private even though you are staying in big dorm. All in all a good place to visit when staying in Osaka!

Nice and welcoming staff. Laid-back and relaxed feeling. Just 10-min walk (1 subway station) from Namba/Dotonbori, not very far, and it's also convenient to go to other parts of Osaka. Got a good kitchen, but need to take the food downstairs to eat, a bit dangerous when holding hot stuff? The lower deck of the bunker bed also has little headroom for talk guys. Still it's a good guesthouse if you're not super-picky, recommended.

Clean room and bathrooms. Allows Guest to check in (9AM in my case) before formal check in time. Can leave luggage until 11PM after check out. Free Jam & Bread breakfast. I have spacious 55M2 room w 6 single beds (not bunkbeds) and seating area and good internal bathroom and toilet, very suitable for family. Lift to serve all floors (some hostels & apartments in Japan have no lift serving the ground floor). JR Tennoji Station have all floors connected by escalator and lifts which is important for old people and carrying big luggages. Next to it there is Osaka Abenobashi railway station, which is a terminal station of Kintetsu South Osaka line.

+ve Points Cleanliness: The building is pretty new, so you can expect clean facilities from the bedrooms to the showers to the lounge area. The staff vacuum and clean the area daily. Location: I did not know how great the location was until i checked in. It is a 10 mins walk to Amerikamura and Dotonbori for shopping! Also this location is superb if you have a JR pass as there is JR Namba station 5 minutes walk away. The local metro Sakuragawa is less than a 1 minute away on foot. Very convenient with eateries and family marts/lawson/7-11 splattered all around the guesthouse. Facilities: As mentioned earlier, facilities are still new. Lounge looks beautiful and cozy. Showers are shared. Bedrooms are big enough even though i booked a 12 bed dorm, it still felt as though i had enough personal space. Wifi in room and lounge area. Washer available for 100 yen. Theres a lift so you dont need to drag your luggage up and down the stairs. There are small lockers but please bring your own lock. Staff: The staff were amazing. Really super friendly and miss them so much when i left. Pang + Koh + Chise were very fun and warm and friendly. They would usually join the guests during dinner time and talk to us. Pang even cooked taki for us one night. Bianca is also very friendly and helped me with some recommendations for where to go. Thank you for the awesome stay! MISS YOU GUYS! FINAL THOUGHTS: This is definitely not the cheapest guesthouse especially considering its 12 beds shared dormitories. But i would say definitely the best guesthouse in terms of location cleanliness and staff. I had a wonderful experience and would not mind forking that bit extra for an enjoyable stay.

It was nice facilities for a very low price. Towel and shower amenities are given. There is wifi and tv in the lounge and everything was clean. The beds are hard and the bottom bunk feels a bit tight and doesn't get much air compared to the top bunk. Be warned they do not turn the lights off at night but each bed is closed off with a screen. Also you must pay for lockers but they'll do free bag storage at the desk during the day. It is far away from everything including stores and the train station. They do have a free shuttle to take you to the station but I do not know if pick up is available. I went to summer sonic music festival at maishima sports island so it was a great location (30 min walk over the bridge). I enjoyed my stay but if you do not have business in the area I wouldn't recommend it.

Wonderful stay. We booked for 2nights and we end up staying for 6nights. Very friendly host who will assist you in your travel questions. Its a brand newly open traditional japanese house. If you dont mind staying like a local, this is the best place in osaka for u. 10min walk to minamigata subway dat will bring u direct to namba(10min) or osaka central(2min). All basic neccessaties provided! (Towels, face towel, toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, shaver, coffee, tea n lastly NATO(ask e owner to show u what it is!)) DIRECTIONS TO HOSTEL: Take the subway to Nishinakajima-Minamigata and exit tru EXIT 2 Turn right n cross the road n u will see Lawson Convenience store. Keep walking straight passing the Lawson and Family Mart and CAFE. Once u see a Supermarket, turn right into the small road. Keep walking straight n u will see the signage for OSAKA BACKPACKERS HOSTEL. Walk around the house and enter tru the main front door. ENJOY YOUR STAY!

Free breakfast (coffee/tea with toast), central location. Ryu offers great advice to your Osaka stay along with a great bar offering and food menu at his bar. He is quite the chef and entertainer. He built this hostel himself, so everything is well made. He is always helpful and available to provide the best experience in Osaka and Japan. The building is a little narrow and with 4 floors. No elevators. But two washrooms and two showers for 10 visitors. Good kitchen and plenty of storage room. I’ve stayed for a week, my longest stay in any city in Japan. I would definitely come back and stay here. Bath house, grocery store near by along with bath house. Multiple subways and restaurants/ shopping near by. Great place for the location/value.

i missed my osaka flight and only got to the hostel near midnight which was past the opening hours of the reception but was still greeted warmly by the staff (who was informed in advance by airport of my delay). check-in was quick and staff even helped to carry my luggage up to the room. the room had two bunk beds (with lower bed on tatami) and the futons were very comfortable. toilets, showers and cleaning area were very clean as well. kitchen was well stocked. the hostel is located at the start of the tenjinbashi street district so food is readily available. overall a very pleasant stay and would return again when i do my solo travelling!

I fell in love with Cocoroom the moment that I saw it online. The rate of the room was really cheap knowing that we are travelling to Japan. It will be a big help to spend less for accommodation. What I like about this hostel is that you know that this is a house of an artist wherein later on I realize that it's a family house. I love Okasan who always greet us Ohayou every morning. It feels good when she's around. I like it here and I am considering to stay here again when I come back to Osaka. :)

Unfortunately we weren't able to book the basic adjacent beds (we were not able to maximize the TV and computer since we were tired from all the trips we did in Osaka), but nonetheless the idea is excellent. Although we had to bring up the luggage by ourselves to third floor, the facilities are excellent and the book were cool! I was able to find English version of my favorite manga and it's so nice reading it while eating Japanese cheesecake. We were also not able to maximize the library, so if you have a chill schedule, this is definitely one of the best places to stay.

It’s been one the best stays on my travels in Japan. Really comfy and fairly spacious sleeping pod, good WiFi, spacious kitchen to cook your meals, free tea / coffee. 1 min walk from nearest JR station which was a great plus. Staff super friendly and helpful. The washing machine wasn’t operating while I was there but there is a cheap laundromat down the road. 7-11 and supermarket closeby. Would certainly stay again.

Was at the Osaka airport immigration line and just realized that I haven't booked any accom yet. So I just booked my first two nights here, just to have some address to show to the immigration officer. And I'm so lucky. The staffs, esp the manager (owner as well? maybe), were so nice. On my second night it was Christmas eve, and staffs were on holiday leave. I was a little bit tired as well (too much party the night before), so stay at the hostel kitchen drinking beer. Then came the manager who found I was sitting there alone. So he asked if I would love to try his sake that he saved for new year? I said yes. And it was wonderful :)
