The big thing this hostel has going for it are it's two cats, Maru and Kogo! It's really nice that after an exhausting day I can just come back to these two furballs that are always lounging around on the heated floor 😆 There is a bar at the hostel, a lounge for guests behind it and the staff are a joy to chat with. All the facilities here really foster a good social scene at the hostel. Something so many places on my trip failed to do. The beds are surprisingly comfy and outside there is a wall of polaroid photos of all the guests cats you can look at! I've paid x2-x3 more for some hostels and Mad Cat even has those places beat! I'm giving out a 10/10 here easily. If you are staying in Osaka, pick Mad Cat

All the staff speaks English and are very sociable. Beds are comfy if you like it hard, plenty of showers and toilets in the room and on the floor for everyone to do their hygiene routine. Lounge is big and very sociable, lots of tables to form groups and make new friends with. The best part is the tatami mat sitting area. Great location. The hostel is a 5 min walk from Tennoji station and is right beside a familymart so you can get a quick meal whenever.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It was my second time staying here. Great location, friendly staff and very cheap. Previously I stayed in a superior capsule and I was surprised at how much space you have. This time I stayed in a standard capsule in the female dormitory and the bed area is quite spacious. The facilities are also very clean. I would definitely give this a go if you're going to Osaka for a short stay.

Best hostel in Osaka for meeting new people, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The receptionist was willing to go the extra mile, he even shared his dinner with us. Late checkout was possible with no extra charge, the receptionist was willing to wait for me for a late check in, nice terrace and benches outside reception as well as kitchen and common parts. Beds were clean and comfortable had a good sleep, dorm was quiet at night, good AC. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for good value for money

Very backpacker hostel vibes. Place is basically run by volunteers, this isn’t a bad thing but just know what to expect. Kitchen is good, common area easy to meet people. Super cheap, overall a decent stay, although personally wouldn’t be my first choice.
