Excellent service

Stayed in November 2023

The location of the hostel is not the best, it's quite a shady area. I stayed in a top bed and while puting my phone to charge, my charger slipped through my hand and it fell on the bottom bed. It'd be nice to have something put there so nothing can fall.

Very clean hostel. People are very kind, helpful and respectful. It's a shame I only stayed for one night. I love how it was organized. Great place!

The staff are very helpful and the hostel feels homey.

The staff is so kind. The coffee is GREAT. Loved the chai latte. Also the beds are super comfortable and the people I met there, absolutely the best. Great energy in general, which is key when traveling alone. You have a lot of space for your things compared to other hostels I stayed in. And around the area you can do so many things. Also namba is really close. I went there walking everyday.

The only thing I would improve is the ventilation of the rooms. Tip for travelers: open the windows when you leave and turn on the AC at night. But we'll, it is a hostel, these things are normal I guess.

The Hotel's workers are incredible. I interacted with at least 4 of them and they were so kind, helpful, happy and cheerful. We talked in English and they helped me practice my (terrible) Japanese. Thank you all for the wonderful stay. Also, they work very hard. There was always someone cleaning and fixing things. One day the soap dispenser broke, and they fixed it right away. The place is also very well located in the heart of Shinsekai, next to the metro, mall, konbini, etc. Possibility to wash your clothes etc. The coffee shop is lovely and they ALWAYS have good music. How do they do it? And all my roommates had nice vibes. I will definitely stay again at PAX if one day I'll come back to Osaka. Thank you guys.

Due to communal kitchen there was a slight smell in the property, but nothing horrible!

Super friendly hostel with lovely staff and loads of communal space. Right in the centre of Shinsekai area with loads of fantastic restaurants on your doorstep.

Please note, that there is no elevator and the stairs are soooooo narrow and pretty steep which makes it almost impossible to go to your room with suitcase or big backpack. The luggage room is also is on the second room. I also wish they organized some activities for guests like walking tours or pub crawls or anything else

The location is good! and stuff are very nice! I also liked the rooftop!

The Pax Hostel with its staff, guests and very good location is enchanting. Cozy and practical, highly recommended. Thank you for the wonderful stay with you.

Nothing. But bring a padlock so you can secure your belongings in the room lockers.

Incredibly cozy, friendly, and warm home base for a trip to Osaka. Downstairs is a cafe with vintage records and books and comfy places to hang out. Upstairs, there's a kitchen and laundry facilities. We had a private room. Everyone was friendly. It's a great location. Highly recommend this hostel!!

Very cool vibe in a really retro and convenient area. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was the most friendly out of any hostel I stayed at in Japan.

Super clean and cosy with nice amenities. The beds were comfortable, albeit a bit squeaky because it was made out of wood. The hostel provides everyone with ear plugs so this wasn't a big issue.

As one might expect in Osaka, the space is quite small and has multiple floors. While they make great use of the small space, guests with large luggage will probably have a hard time using the narrow, steep staircases.

Pax is a wonderful hostel (and cafe!) that has great character, good amenities, and very kind and helpful staff. Guests receive a helpful check-in guide with a lock to store small valuables in the bunks. The bathroom and laundry were in good condition. While I did not meet all the staff (it appears there's quite a lot of them for a small hostel!), those who I did meet were so kind and gave some recommendations for a first-timer in Osaka. Regarding the location, you could hardly find a better place to stay, in my opinion. Osaka has a lot of tourist attractions that are spread over the large city, but what makes Ebisuhigashi stand out is the kitschy, walkable street market. Dotonbori is another major tourist attraction that I could walk to, but it is a bit of a hike.

Nice rooftop terasse

Stayed in June 2023

There’s not enough showers, only one shared for 10 people. The curtains do let a lot of sunlight in, in the morning, but not really an issue if you have eye mask. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very social during my stay, It’s a small hostel so it tends to be very quiet but that depends on who is staying, although it seems like they do a social event on a sat night.

Great hostel with a rustic vibe, nice common area, chill music/record player. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location with Shinsekai as your backyard and short walk to two subway stations. 30min walk to Dotonburi. Always clean toilets and shower. Big lockers for suitcases.

Only negative I can really give this place is that even with AC on full blast my top bunk in the 10-bed room got a little hot, not enough to disrupt my sleep in any way though

Staff and people staying here were awesome, very social, if you're traveling solo and you're not confident in your japanese, you'll find some drinking buddies here Facilities include everything you need, only 2 showers in the building but I never experienced any real waiting time for it, as guests seem considerate all around. Kitchen on the top floor, rooftop drinking/relaxation area Bar area on ground floor has free ice water/tea and always someone to talk to Bunks are big and comfy! No complaints there Awesome place, would gladly stay there again AWESOME COST PERFORMANCE

Very friendly staff and clean facility! I would definitely stay for longer.

Lovely hostel with loads of character, and super friendly staff. The bar/cafe downstairs was a great place to meet people and it seemed like hostel guests and locals were hanging out there. The rooftop was an awesome space to have a few beers. Beds were super comfy and spacious, and there were good curtains so the bunks felt private.

My second stay at PAX after a few years, and I’ll definitely be back! Comfortable beds, powerful showers, and great atmosphere for meeting both locals and other travellers - all in a great location. However, the staff at PAX are the real gems. I received a warm welcome back after four years, and they are always on hand to answer any questions, give recommendations or just have a friendly chat. I doubt any hostel in Japan will top my experience at PAX.
