Feel Osaka Yu

Kazu (son), Kaz (father), and Yoko were all warm and welcoming, and lovely to talk with and get to know. They’ve established a nice place for rest, refuge, creativity and community. Their recommendations led me to some places I wouldn’t have seen otherwise known about e.g. GLION Car Museum and Nakanoshima Rose Garden and therefore changed the course of my trip all for the better. It is conveniently located and yet on a quiet side street—I did a ton of exploring on foot and by the nearby subway. So glad I found this place and its excellent people. Capsule hotels aren’t for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed Feel Osaka Yu as my Osaka home, and I slept very well there. 😴. ありがとうございます

One of the Best Hostels I’ve Ever Stayed At – A Hidden Gem in Osaka I can’t recommend this hostel enough – it’s easily one of the best I’ve ever stayed at. The sleeping arrangement is perfect: you get your own capsule-style bed in a shared dorm, which gives you privacy and quiet even though you're sharing the room with others. I honestly didn’t hear a sound at night, which made for some great nights of sleep! The cleanliness of the entire place is top-notch. Everything—from the dorms to the bathrooms and common areas—is spotless and well-maintained. But the real highlight of this hostel is the common room. It’s not just a place to hang out—it's a creative space filled with musical instruments. Guests are welcome to play, and the hostel even organizes jam sessions, which are such a fun and unique way to connect with other travelers. What made it even more special was that the owner, Kazu, and his father joined in the music-making. It created such a warm, communal vibe. Kazu himself is an incredible host—super friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat. He’ll help you with anything you need and has great recommendations for local restaurants that are just a short walk away. If you're visiting Osaka and looking for a place that combines comfort, cleanliness, and community, this is the hostel to book. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town

A lack of available accommodation pushed me to stay in the 20 person female only dorm. I usually avoid large dorm rooms and was dubious about my stay; however, I ended up being pleasantly surprised. The beds were comfy and private due to the design. And while there was not much space in room, there was a baggage storage area, and even a little seating area. The owner was fantastic; offering me loads of advice and help when needed. The shared bathroom was a bit out the way being on the ground floor but there was a nice female only space which was very pleasant- hairdryers, straighteners and curlers were available to use.

Everything! I really like the security of the place too. The atmosphere of the shared common room is super friendly and welcoming. Super relaxing, too. The staff are all brilliant and lovely. They really go above and beyond and take pride in their hostel/ hotel. I couldn't express how grateful I am to have met these lovely people. This place really helps alleviate some stress from the hussle and bussle. Women's only section is super cute, too, both the dorms and the bathroom! Cosy beds, and you get 1 clean towel every day, provided you leave it where they ask so they can replace it. It's a great place to meet some great and interesting people, too, and have great conversations. I definitely recommend staying here. Initially meant to stay 3 nights, but upon arrival and feeling the atmosphere, I extended my stay. A cancellation to happen to come up when I enquired about extending as the women's only was fully booked. The location is great too everything is in walking distance and there are plenty of rickshaws who will offer to show you around.

The owner is very helpful, friendly and professional. He's also a great mucisian and often joins guests in jam sessions in the common area. Don't worry, the music can't be heard in the rooms at all. The location is absolutely perfect for Osaka. It's right in the middle of important sights, popular areas and shopping districts. A metro station is very close by and there's plenty of good restaurants and convenience stores around. All this and somehow this particular street manages to be quiet. The capsule rooms are comfortable and spacious with good amenities. There's even power plug converters directly in the walls! Overall this is one of the best and most memorable stays I've had in Japan. I will definitely return here the next time I'm in Osaka.
