Guest House Mii

SMALL hostel in a BIG city with Munchkin cat(Short leg cat)!! Sometimes when you’re staying in a big city, you want some downtime and feel homely. Tani9 Backpackers is an intimate, cozy little hostel that welcomes travelers from every corner of the world to share their stories.

Very nice place for the solo kind

Nice and modern hostel

Reviewed By slesa130

This hostel definitely has a hotel feel, the building is large, modern, friendly staff, and even has a great restaurant on the ground floor and sky lounge with a kitchen and view over the city. The rooms are well designed and small things like slippers, amenities and umbrella holders show thoughtfulness which is uncommon in hostels. Although the bathroom is shared, there is a sink in the bedroom which is great. The location is close to the metro which is great, although it is close to a large overpass which can be a little noisy. Overall I would highly recommend this place while youre staying in Osaka!

THE STAY OSAKA Shinsaibashi

MEANINGFUL TRIP OSAKA Nestled within the guesthouse rich area of Shinsaibashi. Take a good stroll, eat, have fun, talk, laugh and of course rest. Most importantly, enjoy a meaningful trip. We have renovated our building whilst preserving it's quaint 1981 retro feel. No pomp and circumstance found here, nostalga oozes from the very foundations of our design. We encourage guests from all over the world to join our STAY FAMILY.

Uncomfortable upper beds, friendly staff

Reviewed By siel

I spend my last night before my flight out of Japan in Osaka. Inspired by a friend I chose the book and bed hostel. Nice concept but I didn’t like this specific one. Climbing in and out of the upper beds was really uncomfortable - it’s pretty obvious if you see people do it plus it’s mentioned in the reviews but apparently they don’t care. The ‘bookshop’ was more themed decoration for the hostel than anything else. Friendly staff though and close to lots of restaurants. I wouldn’t stay here again but would like to try the book and bed idea elsewhere.

Guest House B's Five Ⅱ

We are located by the Doutonbori River in downtown Osaka! You can walk to all hotspots in 5 minutes from our location. It takes less than a 3-minute walk from Namba Station (26-D Exit) where you can easily get to sightseeing area like Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, and USJ. Being located in AmeMura (The American Village) means you will be surrounded by shops, many restaurants, and a vibrant nightlife.

Affordable room in Dotonburi area

Reviewed By Stella M

Its a bit hard to find. I didnt expect thats its in apartement building. So finally found it. It basically an apartment. The owner also lives there but different floor. Its a bit small but comfortable enough. I like the view. My bed over looking the canal. Location is just 5 mins walk to the food paradise dotonburi area. The owner was helpful and friendly. Value for money.

When arriving at Nankai Namba Station from the airport, go through the Namba Walk (underground shopping area) end aim to exit B2. At the first corner go left, the hostel will be on your left. Just a few steps away from "Kuromon Market" and "Den Ten Town"!

Besides Osaka's typical "Takoyaki" & "Okonomiyaki" restaurants, you will have a wide choice in this area, such as coveyor belt sushi restairants, a famous shop of grilled meat, ramen shops and so on. There are convenience stores, drug stores, currency exchanges nearby, you can enjoy sightseeing and shopping as much as you want! Many shops are open until late and people who wish to go out for the night can have the best of times! It is a 5-minute walk to the closest subway station, popular spots such as Osaka Castle and USJ are easily accessible from here!

A charming and peaceful hostel with 8 bunk beds. Located in an area near many bars and restaurants and a 10min walk from the famous Dotonburi area. The property is surrounded by many temples, parks, and historical landmarks. Its also only a 20min walk from Osaka castle. Transport links are excellent with 2 subway stations and many bus routes within a 5min walk. The staff speak fluent English and Japanese. Please join us at possibly the first Nepali guest house for Japanese hospitality with Nepalese flavor.

Great location! Good accessibility!

The hostel was very nice and the host was a good person. If I go back to Japan (Osaka), I will book this place without hesitation. I wait for the day to meet again in future. - Seong Min, P.S. - Access from Kansai Airport is available once. Tanimachi 9-chome Exit 2 is the best approach.
