As a cat lover, this was an amazing experience. But also to experience a ryokan. The sleeping area was comfortable and we might have an idea of why many cats prefer boxes to sleep🤭 We were just a little bit too excited to sleep tightly as we could miss some action with the cats. You can choose when you would like to have one private hour with all cats. We chose right after the closing time on the same day of our check-in as we couldn’t wait any longer to meet the lovely felines. All cats have been strays and are being well taken care of at this place. Each character is respected and they have enough space to retreat. The staff is very nice, kind, and attentive, and even though English skills were lacking, we could communicate well. The sleeping area is clean and has a lot of nice amenities. The bathroom was very practical and well thought through. We recommend staying here without hesitation and would love to come back again one day and buy something from the souvenir shop to support these cats and the facility. This is one of the few places where the cats' well-being is taken care of. Their work is ethical; you can even adopt a cat after some process.

The rooms were very very spacious ( we had the private room) compared to all the hotels in Tokyo, it was 12 Tatami mats. My daughter absolutely loved the large space. The bathrooms were also spic and span and spacious too. Location was great also, walking distance from Tennoji station (North Exit), which made commuting easier. You can catch the direct train to USJ We would like to come back here again if we even visit Osaka

LOCATION: - Amazing location, I was able to walk to the main attractions every evening (approximately 10-15 minutes). Many convenience stores and restaurants in nearby. CLEANLINESS: - It was cleaned every day. Super clean hostel. STAFF AND SERVICE: - Bare minimum interactions, they just check you in and that's pretty much it. ROOM QUALITY: - You get your own relatively large room. I was able to store my backpack, however, because I had the top bunk I wasn't able to put in my luggage, they do have a separate luggage storage room though in the same floor. - The room had sockets, lighting, a small locker, curtain, TV, and AC. - The mattresses were a bit hard. - The area where the rooms/beds are was separated from the rest of the facilities. You have to be incredibly silent, talking on the phone is not allowed. This is an amazing rule. There also dressing cabins with curtains so you can dress comfortably. BATHROOMS: - Hair dryers, moisturizers, toners, ear sticks, cotton pads, face wash, hand wash, shampoo. AMENITIES AND EXTRAS: - Free Wi-Fi - There are 2 common areas, one on the ground floor and one on each floor where the rooms are. I didn't really check out the one in the ground floor but the one on all the floors has a microwave. Very basic. You need to make sure you have your own cutlery and plates etc. - When you enter they give you PJs, slippers, etc. You need to keep your shoes in the ground floor lockers. - Washers and dryers available, however, wouldn't recommend you to use them as they're not the best in cleaning. SAFETY: - Safe area. - You can only go to the floors using your card. That too, you can only access the floors which your card permits you to, so men can't enter the women's floor and vice versa. - Cameras everywhere, including the corridor of the rooms.

This hotel is perfectly located on a peaceful street, close to local restaurants/izakaya, convenient stores, and supermarkets. It's also within easy reach of Orange Street and Daimaru Shinsaibashi or even Namba area, offering a quick escape from the city bustle. The capsule was clean and well-maintained. The ventilation system worked effectively, and I appreciated the individual luggage area, which easily accommodated two luggage cases. The provided toiletries, such as shampoo and conditioner, were of good quality.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It was my second time staying here. Great location, friendly staff and very cheap. Previously I stayed in a superior capsule and I was surprised at how much space you have. This time I stayed in a standard capsule in the female dormitory and the bed area is quite spacious. The facilities are also very clean. I would definitely give this a go if you're going to Osaka for a short stay.

    Best hostel in Osaka for meeting new people, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The receptionist was willing to go the extra mile, he even shared his dinner with us. Late checkout was possible with no extra charge, the receptionist was willing to wait for me for a late check in, nice terrace and benches outside reception as well as kitchen and common parts. Beds were clean and comfortable had a good sleep, dorm was quiet at night, good AC. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for good value for money

    Extremely cheap backpacker style accommodation especially considering that it is private rooms rather then bunk beds. Futons are surprisingly comfortable. Common room seemed to be quite busy most nights if you are the social type. Pretty good location, 15 minutes or so from Namba Station. Easy enough location to get around. "Poorer" area so provides an interesting and different look into Japanese life, always felt safe though. Several convince stores nearby to buy water and a breakfast bento on your way out sightseeing.
