Guesthouse U-en Hostel

A fantastic hostel to start my trip on. The staff were friendly, helpful, and spoke decent English. They have maps and guides for the surrounding area, so you’ll know all the restaurants and train stations around you. Very accessible, as it is within walking distance of a train station, even with a large suitcase. It’s also handy having the cafe on the main floor with a great breakfast and coffee!

Cozy hostel in the heart of a foodie neighborhood

It's a short 5 min walk from the train and subway stations. This place is in the heart of where all the delicious small Japanese restaurants that are frequented by locals. Staff was helpful and friendly - often ready to help.

The staff were so amazingly friendly and accommodating. And genuinely interested in what I had planned around Osaka. They also had some nice tips and advice for traveling the area. The room/bunks were decently sized, the only downside was it can get a bit warm in those bunks, but there was a window we opened which helped. The location and staff and accommodations of the hotel itself are all incredible. I’ll be coming here again on my next trip for sure!

1階のカフェがオシャレで、朝ごはんが最高に良かったです。これこそがゲストハウスの醍醐味。土地柄、近くに銭湯、マッサージ、飲食店もあり立地も良かったです。 マイナスポイントとしては、宿泊客のマナーがあまり良くなかったところ。ただ、これは運みたいな要素もあり宿の問題ではないかもしれない。

Guesthouse U-en

This hostel was not a good fit for me. The bottom bunk was so low that I was unable to sit up in it. The sinks were in an open space in the middle of the hostel. There were many low beams throughout the hostel. Towel rental is 100 yen a towel. However, the showers were hot and it was approximately a 15 minute walk to Osaka station, so those things were nice.

Great value for money but very quiet location

This hotel is in a quiet area with no much to do around but it's perfectly connected to the action, so definitely recommended to save some money. The staff is super friendly and the hotel and room have everything you need. It's a small guest house though, so don't expect a super spacious place but it gives you that warmness kind of feeling due to its size, you feel like at home. Wifi is not good at all, I struggled the whole day but the rest of the amenities are quite good.

Very well situated location

The private room we had didn't suit a person with any form of dust allergies. There was no windows and the tatami matting in such a situation doesn't air well. The space overall was really good - though the over-enthusiastic eco-timer on the toilet lights meant you had to wave a hand above your head about every 15 or so seconds or else contemplate in the dark.

Look no further, fella. You found it!

Had a blast here. The staff is super helpful and the feel of this place is so cool. Highly recommend it. The downstairs cafe is meh but the hostel is smack in the middle of one of the best food scenes in Osaka so getting a bite ain't no thang. Great place to meet new friends as well. Super conducive to conversations with fellow travelers. book it!

Good hostel

The room was sized as per their website which was good. The common room was large and had tea and coffee readily available which we appreciated. There is 1 washing machine and 1 dryer located in the common room which was useful and only cost 100¥ each. The downside of this hostel is that noise really does carry and none of the rooms are that far from the common room which meant people talking in the common room till midnight kept us awake.
