Reviews of Mad Cat Hostel Osaka & Bar

The cats of course, but it felt really homely. You’re offered 1 free welcome drink per day and the beds are really soft.

Everything about this place was fantastic. The staff were extremely friendly & hospitable. The beds were very comfy & loved that we had privacy curtains. Very clean & tidy. Two very adorable wee cats Kogo & Maru.

That we aren't staying longer :(

It's all very clean and cozy!

It might be a little far from the center, but it's not something that bothers you too much!

This hostel is located a bit away from the busy crowds, which makes it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring—but it's still easily accessible for getting around the city. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the complimentary welcome drink upon arrival. We chose the private tatami room with futon, and it was a great experience—comfortable and a nice way to enjoy a more traditional style of accommodation. Other travelers staying here were also friendly and respectful, which added to the calm and pleasant atmosphere. Overall, a lovely and peaceful place to stay while still being close enough to enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Everything always a fantastic friendly environment a truly unique experience.

The staff are wonderful and the location is fair good.

I really joyed the vibe, the hostel gave off. Yoshi was a great host and I do wanna go back again, when I'm in Osaka again!

The only thing I would say is the location, but even that is me being very picky. It is a nice location, but it takes a while until you're at the metro. But that's shouldn't be a deal breaker!

- First of all: Kogo and Maru, the most gentle hosts ever :) - Staff was very friendly and helpful - Kitchen has everything you need - The front bar and the people - The information displayed about Osaka and surroundings was great!

Not a very spacious and open place: toilets and showers are a bit too small and not much sunlight. Kitchen also has limited space if there's more than 1 person cooking. But if you're spending just a couple of nights it's ok :) Also be mindful you'll need to make use of public transport to comute.

Very friendly owner and staff. I wanted to stay longer but unfortunately they only had one night available. If I go back to Osaka I will definitely go back to mad cat!

Nothing. Just ac was broken so it was very hot

Amazing place to stay in Osaka, soulful and chilled vibes, gathers the right people around. Host and the team are amazing!

The staffs were amazing, giving tips and being very welcome with us.

There are no place to store the luggage in the room, everything is on the floor.

Best hostel I have stayed in in Japan! Can absolutely recommend! Great hostel with a cozy living room and a nice small bar (with free welcome drinks) upfront which make the place very social. The best thing, however, is the staff: super welcoming and helpful with any questions, they are full of suggestions and come out to party once in awhile as well.

There was nothing I did not like

Mad Cat was clean, social and so cozy. It really felt like you were at home rather than at a hostel. It's perfect for solo travellers. Beds were also comfy. It's easy to get to the main areas of Osaka, and the staff give you lots of useful recommendations on food and what to do. Thanks to Florian, Yoshi, Rieko, Maru, and Kogo for the great stay!

The cats obviously but also the staff who were all super friendly, can't wait to return, only problem was I didn't stay longer
