I felt uncomfortable in this space when we arrived. People sitting in the lobby area looking at us funny. The doors to the rooms were pretty flimsy and the room itself was not great condition. They informed us of their policy about locking the door to the building past a certain hour and changing the code every week. This made me wonder more about the safety of the area and when we looked it up my worries were confirmed. I was nervous to stay here or to even use the shared shower space. We ended up canceling our stay and booking a hotel elsewhere. That said, we did ship our luggage here beforehand and they did keep it safe in a locked closet. They did not give us any refund.

Everything was great except for the fact that my room was soo cold because there’s no heating. They did provide an electric warmer that I put under the blanket to stay warm at night, but it was really cold outside the blanket, so something to keep in mind if booking in winter. The shower also didn’t have any hooks which was pretty inconvenient. But other than that the place is cleaned every day, there’s train station right outside and a Family Mart and not far from Dotonbori. Staff are also very nice.

It’s a nice hostel close the Fine arts museum I wanted to visit and close to the subway station. The room was small but it was okay. You sleep on tatami on the floor - I found it very cool. Contras: light switcher is in the hallway and showers are on one floor, but not the same floor I stayed at. Very friendly stuff. You can do laundry and other activities there also.

Was a bit hesitant at first to stay here, but I’m glad I did. Absolute bargain price and even though it’s shared bathroom you still have a private room. No issues with the shared facilities they are clean and never overly busy. If you don’t mind a Japanese style bed and just want somewhere to sleep then this is the place. I didn’t take advantage of the communal area but it seemed quite busy if you’re looking to socialise.

Staff were really welcoming and friendly and spoke English. They showed me to my room on arrival and always greeted me when I was coming to and from the hostel and I’m sure if you had any questions or were looking for things to do they would be happy to help out.

Another plus is that it is about a minute walk away from the Osaka metro.

The only minor inconvenience was having to rent a towel. But it was only 100yen it is no issue at all.

Very charismatic hotel geared towards backpackers and solo travelers. Super cool art on the walls of the hotel. Staff was very kind on check-in. The room was very barebones with just a futon, AC, and a small tv but this is what I expected for the price. The walls are also pretty thin but luckily I had quiet neighbors. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Overall very worth the price. Only gripe was that the surrounding area can be a little sketchy at night but it's not bad especially compared to some cities in the west haha. Will come back if I'm back in Osaka!

For years this has been my first pick for Osaka accomodation. Other hotels in the area offer similar single rooms, some even cheaper, but Toyo is special for its international flavor, drawing backpackers and long-stay students from around the world. They understand the needs of travelers and are always ready to help. Much appreciate staff for understanding when I checked out late by mistake - I forgot to set my clocks 1 hour ahead.

It’s perfect if you just need a roof over your head and the ability to take a shower for a day or two. The facilities are extremely barebones and that’s totally fine because it’s all you need. The staff were very friendly and helpful, it’s easy to get to, and it’s incredibly cheap. The building is pretty old but it’s clean and well looked after, and all the hand drawn art and displays everywhere give the hotel a really fun atmosphere. I saw a few amenities being promoted (public bath, bicycle rental, communal area with computers etc.) but I didn’t need to use them. I assume that they are all to a pretty good standard based on my experiences. Bathrooms and shower rooms have presumably been renovated recently. I just needed somewhere to stay overnight after a late flight into Osaka and my experience was entirely positive. I’ll probably stay here again next time I’m in town.

Just remember to bring your own toothbrush and towel, although towels can be rented indefinitely for 100 yen.

Hippy casual, artsy budget hostel.

Great budget international hostel. Hippy style casual. Staff speaks English, some fluently. Downtown so it’s super easy to access transportation. Hostel is about a minute away from transport. Downtown area borders both poor local and tourist areas, so don’t recommend walking around area late night, but it’s very convenient to go anywhere. A kitchen keeps eating costs down. Mostly Japanese people are there due to current global situation. Some people from other countries are there. Rooms are old but well cleaned. Some are not yet remodeled and need work. Some rooms are very cozy with Japanese style tatami. Wall art and murals line the walls. The cost is reasonable and most guests are respectful of guidelines to clean up after oneself.Sometimes it’s noisy due to thin walls, but private room is definitely grades up from a dorm, Good place to park with friends a few days, relax and explore, stay for a few day event, over night while getting bearings, or do even longer stays. Highly recommended if pleasant a casual spot, no thrills, in a central area is for you.

Value is great. Kitchen handy. Free beverages during the holidays. Multiple access for transport (JR, Metro, other). English speaking staff. Typical drawbacks: Hostels are simple self-service as rule (clean up after yourself and if some people don’t it’s too bad). Japanese rooms are small and walls thin. Be careful with noise (wear earplugs if watching the TV?). Other: Downtown area is convenient but on the border of impoverished downtown area. Wasn’t disturbed by anyone but be aware of surroundings. It’s also on border of major shopping area across overpass, the zoo, discount shops, some tourist spots, and besides transportation to other places is just a minute away on the corner. The hostel itself is artsy, laid back, and generally well kept for an older building. It’s being renovated so some rooms are really nice and certainly an upgrade over a dorm or most capsules.

Kitchen&Shared Space,PrivateRooms,Transport Access

Reasonable for price. Many pluses. Great transportation access. Kitchen useful with pots, pans and plates. Japanese style bath ticket available on request; great for tired backpackers. Cool wall painting. Each floor is unique. Markets (walk past the zoo towards Tennoji for a hidden organic across from that station) . Two Don Quijote discount shops are nearby. Basic daily cleaning of hostel is regular. You are expected to clean up after yourself since it’s a hostel. It needs some serious seasonal dusting and some repairs but is very good for an older building. Refurbished. Area is nearby a downtown district, so it’s a little raunchy however have not felt unsafe on the visits here. Staff is helpful and speaks English. Many overseas couple backpackers and solo backpackers used to come before travel restrictions. Some still come and an international atmosphere remains. The people atmosphere depends on the mix, mostly okay and laidback style. Backpackers from east and west, students, remote and casual workers, people who got stuck out too late, and others use the same space. Thin walls and clueless guests can be a problem but it’s better than most capsules for a similar price. Mostly a friendly atmosphere. Recommended for two or three nights to visit the city. Staff can provide some travel tips.

Simple International Hostel, not 4-5 Star Luxe

Simple traveller hostel, no frills, basic. English speaking helpful staff. Convenient to train & tube. Walls thin. Keep to quiet hours at 23:00=Any Christmas nuptials will otherwise be shared with neighbors and people on floor, maybe above and below too. Price is very reasonable so keep in mind it’s not the luxe. Save travel costs by making your own meals. Shared kitchen available. Price means you are expected to clean up after yourself- it’s a hostel not a 3,4,5 star hotel. Some floors are without any air conditioning either in the room or on the floor. Best to ask for a floor with air conditioner IN the room, not in the corridor only, but at least in winter get a room with air conditioning on the same floor. Curtains are good. Mattress is Japanese style on the floor. Rooms are cute and are cleaned, generally any party smell is removed. It’s not perfect but friendly, convenient to transport, reasonable for a simple backpack traveling spot. Lots of mural wall art and international travelers graffiti art add to personality.

Some caution on the neighborhood, which is downtown. Hostel well situated a few paces away literally from metro and across street from JR. Guests are generally cool and one can chat or keep to oneself. Shared kitchen and lounge. Can be very quiet or noisy depending on one’s luck.

Backpacker space.

+ Mostly comfortable, can chill. Convenient to metro, JR. Cost is reasonable.. Casual laid back. Super Don Quixote and more nearby. Recycle of no longer needed items. Free hostel book share. Light block curtains make for a great sleep. The futons are best so far on this journey. Reasonably clean casual budget style. Art work murals on walls is awesome. Kitchen available too. Very good for a backpacker hostel.
- Except for a clueless person doing repeated door slamming during through-out sleeping time, with heavy feet back and forth pounding the hall floor, often up-down stairs, people are more considerate and cool than not. Walls are thin and futon level is where the floor meets the door level so people hear everything.

The hotel was in a good location, less than 5 minutes walk from 3 train lines. The room was clean and the size was fine; the blackout curtains and 2 power outlets were appreciated, too. Staff were helpful and readily available, even late at night. I'd caution anyone who has mobility issues about staying here, as I had to go up and down 4 flights of stairs for a shower, the common room/front desk, or drinking water. Extremely light sleepers might also be bothered by noise from other rooms. And for particularly petite travelers, my 160cm self found the mirrors in the bathroom to be set a bit high, so perhaps bring your own stand mirror to use in your room if you need to do a lengthy beauty routine. Overall, though, I enjoyed my stay here.

Very convenient and well priced.

If you are just visiting Osaka or plan on touring around the Kansai region I would highly recommend the Hotel Toyo. The staff is very nice and the owner is a gentleman. South Osaka is particularly convenient for Nara and obviously Sakai. The area near the hotel has a mixed reputation in Japan, but it's very safe and is home to many nice people. If one exercises common sense they can walk around at any time and feel very safe. The hotel is near the Osaka Loop line and the Midosuji line so you can transit to other locations very easily. The rooms are good, solid, clean and basic. The common areas are nice and comfortable and the showers and washrooms are really clean and convenient. Like Osaka in general, the hotel Toyo is a very friendly, well priced, convenient and enjoyable place to spend time.

A place to avoid

The room we got was smaller than expected but we could deal with that. What was a deal breaker was that the room felt damp, stale and smelled of mold (although none could be found). There was a thick layer of dust on the top of the AC unit and on the top of the window curtains! No English instructions on how to use the AC. The walls are paper thin, you hear everything.

The room had a tiny TV and a fridge, we used neither. The showers were OK, the toilets actually nice. It's on the Osaka loopline (free with JR Pass) and provides good access to Namba. It's non-smoking but the reception was almost always filled with incense (probably to cover up some nastier smells).

All in all, I was happy to leave this place.

Very simple hostel at a great price

Hotel Toyo is really a hostel, with a common living room and communal showers and toilets. The rooms are very small - there is just enough room for the futon in the single room - but they are clean and comfortable. The shower and toilets are clean and work well. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hostel is located just a couple of stops on the subway from Namba area of central Osaka. There are some izakayas and cafes a few minutes walk from the hostel, though you are better off catching the metro for a couple of stops for more selection. A taxi back from Dotonbori is about JPY2,000.

Overall I had a good experience staying at Hotel Toyo, and I would stay there again. The price is unbeatable!

A hostel but with private rooms

Toyo was great. I booked the \"non AC\" room, which also turned out to mean no heater, so it was a little chilly, but they had an electric foot-heater that worked fine. The location is a bit outside downtown, but closer to the airport and near the station, overall pretty convenient for one night. The vibe is like a friendly hostel, but you get a private room, which is great! Recommended.

Nice budget hotel for backpackers

Conveniently located, the hotel is ideal for single traveler or small group of people. Individual room, yet small, provides enough privacy at this budget price. Showering and toilet facilities are adequate and in great condition. Staff are very friendly and one of the staff was helping me to bring the luggage upstairs to my room at check-in. There is no elevator so it maybe inconvenient for people with big or multiple luggage. If you are a light sleeper, make sure you have ear plugs as sound proofing isn't ideal between rooms and the hallway. Also, if you are going in the winter months, spend a little more to book a room with air-conditioning (which is also a heater) as it gets really chilly for rooms without. There is no hot water other than the ground floor facilities. You will have to wash your hands or brush your teeth with cold water if you use the facilities on each floor. Wifi was ok but during peak hours in the evening it gets rather slow. Despite the minor inconveniences, Hotel Toyo has met my expectations at the price I am paying.

Great price and location, quite run down

This hostel is great if you're on a budget. The best thing about it is the individual rooms. The location is good in the sense that it's very close to a JR station and a metro station... However the location is also one where I may feel uncomfortable at night if I venture outside of that route. The showers are great but remember to bring your own towel or you will be charged a fee. The only other issue I have is that the hostel itself is quite run down other than the showers. I suppose it is as clean as it could be, since it is run down, but the hallways had tiles coming out, the wallpaper in the room was peeling with water damage visible underneath and there are no real Windows on the ground floor. Overall the stay was cheap but you get what you pay for.

Cheap Hotel, Easy Location from Airport to City

This hostel is very cheap and also popular as well. I was first at an room at 4th Floor. That room was bad. I usually had no allergy, but somehow my whole body started feeling itchy. I stayed there only for one day. After I had travelled to Kyoto and Nara. I came back to this hostel, no because I like it. Just because I booked and paid already. I planned to find other hostel or hotel. However, I got an room at 3rd floor which was way better than the first one. I stayed at that room for three nights. The price is definitely worth and the staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Convenient and budget-friendly hostel.

Close to MTR station. Basic amenities, beds weren't the most comfortable but overall experience was okay. Didn't spend much time in the commons area.

Close to subways

after walking all day, it would be nice that I don't have to climb stairs to 3rd floor.

Staff were super friendly and helpful but room left a lot to be desired. Very close to a subway and JR station but generally quite out of the way for the main Osaka attractions.
I didn't use the showers but the toilets were spotless and there seemed to be a lot of activities hosted by the hostel so would probably be a
Good place for solo travellers to mingle.

Very convenient hotel

I stayed in a no-aircon room last October for the Osaka Marathon. I feel comfy and warm with the futon. The public rest room and shower room are okay. The reception desk also have maps for tourist spot. The hotel is also near the train station so traveling is convenient. My only hard moments were the stairs after my marathon. It was very hard to walk in the stairs. There's also no TV in my room but I was okay with the free wi-fi service. There's also a common room where you can meet fellow backpackers. Overall, the hotel is okay.

Very small room. Cleanliness could be better. Bathroom and toilet were inconvenient and more cleanliness is required.

Good value

I stayed for 2 nights and I liked it because the privacy and convenience of a separate room and the great price. The separate shower stalls were great and the staff spoke English well.

Nice, cozy room, very quiet

This place reminds me of the share house I used to live in Tokyo but nicer and cleaner. Friendly staff. Excellent location to central Osaka. 5 mins on the subway to Namba but I just walked there in 20 minutes. Will stay again if I'm visiting Osaka.
