Set within 600 metres of Nakagawa Park and 700 metres of The Osaka Korean Church in Japan, Hostel Caranashi offers rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Osaka. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.4 km from Osaka Seiwa Church.

Very friendly host with some broken English, but we could still understand each other thanks to body language and translating app ;-) The Japanese style room matched the pictures. The lounge as well as the kitchen have been lovingly furnished which I didn't use them much. Daily one free water bottle is a plus. You can even buy beer from the mini bar and there are some ramen to buy. The location is also great. Not in a crowded touristy area, but still you can access to major stations (Tsuruhashi, Namba) quickly from Imazato. Bear in mind to take the Kintetsu line to the Imazato train station, not metro. There are some 24h convenience stores in the area to grab some food/drink anytime, and also a bakery if you want to eat breakfast there. If you travel in the summer, consider to regularly turn on the air conditioner as sometimes the high room temperature can be unbearable.

Located in Osaka and with Abeno Seimei Shrine reachable within 400 metres, Mad Cat Hostel Osaka & Bar provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is set 2 km from Tokoku-ji Temple, 2 km from Mandaike Park and 2.2 km from Shitennoji Koshindo Temple. Matsunomiya Shrine is 2.6 km from the hostel and Hayashi Fumiko Literary Monument is 3 km away.

This is the most homely hostel with the best vibe that I've stayed in! It's got a lovely living room area and bar, which gives a really social vibe, and I loved the two cats roaming around. Rieko is a fantastic host, always giving lots of recommendations and with a smile on her face. She really knows what travellers look for in a hostel and Eric and Yoshi were super friendly staff. The bar is great with a good range of drinks and a welcome drink to get people together. It also attracts locals so it's great to chat and understand more about the culture in Osaka. Really clean and well maintained- would love to stay again when I'm next in Osaka!

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.
