Mad Cat Hostel Osaka

Mad Cat is not only a great place to stay but the hosts are absolutely amazing! We came for the World Cup and needed tickets and despite only staying for 1 night, they spent a week searching for tickets for us. Over and above. The hostel is also brilliant, there’s a great atmosphere and the beds are very comfortable. Definitely the best place we have stayed so far on our trip. Thank you Mad Cat!

Mad Cat Hostel Osaka Mad Beach Bar is a hidden oasis inside of Osaka. The two owners, Rieko and Toshi, are wonderful, and incredibly hospitable. They have lots of experience working in hostels all over the world, and it shows. The hostel is incredibly clean, showers are large, and the rooms have a great sense of privacy. Even though there were many people staying during my time there, it never felt cramped. They also have a private room if that 's more you 're thing. The atmosphere is safe and cozy, and it honestly felt like it was a home, where the people there were all friends and family. For foreigners, Toshi and Rieko speak prefect English, and a bit of Spanish. Credit cards are taken, and there are lots of booklets available inside that lead to day excursions, or just simple trips around town. Mad Cat is very conveniently located by a bus stop and in-between two major subway stations. You 're close to three convenience stores, across from a lovely gyoza place, and they have a bar on site, the Mad Beach! If you can, try the Jazzberry fruit beer, or the aptly named Wednesday 's cat. If you 're not into beer, Toshi makes a mean chuhai. If you love cats, the whole place is filled with charming cat memorabilia, and two adorable cats who are a bit shy. Though you 'll hear them chatting in the morning when they 're hungry for breakfast. All in all, Mad Cat Hostel Osaka Mad Beach is a phenomenal place for anyone looking to stay in Osaka. I have stayed in Osaka many times, and it is by far the most delightful and memorable experience I have had there.

Awesome hostel (and Bar) in Osaka!! Super clean and comfy, good WiFi, nice atmosphere. I strongly recommend to stay here and I will be back for sure!! Plus the awesome staff who can speak English will help you from the moment you step in the door.

This is where to stay if you want to feel like a local in Osaka! Mix with locals in the small bar out front drinking international beers, or chill in the back trying to win the affection of the cats!. The hosts were very friendly, interesting and gave excellent recommendations. Even though we only had a short time in Osaka it was amazing! It was clean, well equipped small hostel (washing machine, drying area, kitchen, TV, lounge area, heating cooling), there was a little road noise but noting that kept us awake, and the bar gave us no noise trouble at all. We will definitely stay here again!

I’m confident this is the best hostel in Osaka. It’s clean, staff are amazing, cats are friendly. It feels like a second home.
