    Amazing hostel & workers ♥️ 4 people in a pretty large room for an hotel, there’s a full size mirror in the bedroom, a very nice kitchen, a washing machine (100¥ per use) and a drying machine. Great WiFi, a small locker & mirror in each bed. The location was good, close to the Tsutenkaku and 20 min’ walking from DOTONBORI and Namba the crowded & full of life areas. Close to a metro station. And there’s a rooftop! You can hang your wet close there and see the Tsutenkaku! There’s only 1 shower and 3 toilets so take that into consideration. But it was ok and I didn’t feel any pressure as there aren’t many guests. Thank you :))

    The staff here were amazing. Such a great atmosphere and in a great location if you want to have lots of fun. Didn't want to leave and when I did I was heartbroken.. Will definitely try to stay here again if I ever come back to Osaka and when that happens I hope the place hasn't changed a bit! (Also bonus points for the slide)

    Rooms were a little dark and cold, beds quite hard

    The hostel is well located (in a cool part of town, not necessarily the ‘centre’ though), the staff were so friendly, the coffee is 10/10, and the vibes in the communal space are wonderful. Could’ve just stayed here all day!

    the beds are a bit hard and the pillows are a bit to thin and squishy.

    a great common area and lovely staff. And a great location right next to Tsutenkaku tower and all the great places to eat

    Everything! The vibe is so cute and artsy, it's safe with both the hostel and the room having lock codes. The people are so lovely and the lounging spaces are gorgeous. Location is great, right in the middle of shinsekai but I did not hear any disrupting noise! Everyone was super respectful and I had lovely chats with the staff and other guests, I loved the cafe open til 9 on the bottom floor. You can tell everyone there takes care of the place and loves it.

    The hostel is in a great neighborhood and has a cozy feel. The beds are very comfortable and big. The bathroom is located outside the room so it is very quiet in the room

    Beds could have been a little bit comfier. Besides that, no complaints.

    Cute hostel with a lot of personality. Extraordinarily friendly staff (We mainly spoke with Hiro and Kae who were both fantastic and knowledgeable). Beds were a little hard for my preference, but it is Japanese. If I am ever in Osaka, I will be at the Pax Hostel.

    The area isn’t the best but it’s part of the charm of the hostel haha it has 2 subway stations nearby though so very easy to get to / from places around osaka.

    Highly recommend this hostel especially if you’re travelling alone! The staff are so friendly and helpful. They have some amazing bahn mi’s at the cafe downstairs. Really cute vibes overall and they make you feel very welcome. Will come back if I’m ever in osaka again!

    The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The hostel is also a bar/cafe and the vibe was really cool. The lockers in the room were large enough to store a suitcase or a big backpack. The also offered luggage storage after check-out which was really convenient. I would definitely come back.
