Отель Mad Cat Hostel Osaka & Bar, Осака, Япония

I had a great time at Mad Cat Hostel. It's very small and feels like a home, which makes it very easy to talk to everyone around the living room table. I don't think the hostel can host more than 15-20 people. It was very clean and all of the amenities and more were included, even a drink every night at the bar. It's a mini-bar at the entrance, separate from the hostel, so don't get scared thinking this is a big party hostel. At first I was concerned that it was a bit far out outside the center of Osaka, but after Tokyo, this place was very close to the center. And it was great to be in a quieter area of town, as Osaka can be quite intense in the center. The staff and owner were super friendly and helpful, and the bed was very comfortable. I would definetely come back and I think it's a great place for someone who is looking for a longer stay as they have a big kitchen.

The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The free welcome drink is a nice touch. The kitties run the place lazing about. The bed was nice and clean. The female beds were all gone, so I used the mixed bed and it was fine. The hostel will provide recommendations and hold luggage for the day if you need it. They provide a towel and have a washing machine on site.

Good price. Not far from the loop train line. Local metro stop goes up to Osaka castle and Osaka station. Free tea, coffee, wifi, a welcome drink too at the bar which was unexpected. Felt homely in the living room, kitchen area and was quite social. Family mart only a few doors down which was very convenient. Cats were obviously lovely.

Mad cat and Yoshi and Laure were wonderful hosts! Very friendly and relaxed, while also being helpful when you need it. The hostel is so cozy and comfortable, including ac in the sleeping area. The kitties were the icing on the cake. I will be staying at Mad Cat anytime I come back to Osaka.

Just an incredible hostel in Osaka. Thank you to Yoshi and Rieko for their warmth, welcoming attitude and kindness. They make it a home. The cats are cute fluffballs. The decor is so thought out. It’s so comfortable- the beds, the pillow, good heating in the rooms. Great showers, towel and soap included. Great location - just take bus or metro everywhere. Convenience store right next door. Home away from home. Social atmosphere. Cats are awesome. They even will print out a photo of your cats to add to the wall. Plenty of recommendations for what to do when there. Rieko gave my helpful tips to get to airport easily and Yoshi didn’t hesitate for a moment to loan me his adaptor. Daily welcome drink included! Thank you for everything!!
