Mad Cat Hostel Osaka & Bar in Osaka

One of our favorite hostels weve stayed at! Clean, convenient location, and full of friendly people, especially the owner Reiko :She gave us recommendations and became a good friend even in our short stay there. Not to mention the 2 handsome cats, Maru chan and Kogo chan. Cant wait to return!

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.

とんでもないぼったくりゲストハウスです。二度と利用しません。あまりに理不尽な負担を宿泊者に『善意を装って』強いる悪質なオーナーが運営しているからです。猫と一緒に泊まり、折角のマットレスと布団を汚したのは私の責任なので謝りますが、弁償代を支払った後で「防水シーツを敷いておけば良かったですね」と言うとは何事ですか？【それなら最初からやっておけ】という話です。オーナーに狡猾さを感じました。愛するペットと泊まる宿泊者が居ることへの想定と準備が圧倒的に足りない。それを全て、理不尽な形で宿泊者に負担させるなんて、ホスピタリティのカケラも無いでしょう。ビジネスの「ビ」の字も知らないでホステルなんか運営するなと言いたいです。大体、店名に「Mad（狂った、狂気じみた）」という単語を使っている時点で、この店のヤバさに気づけば良かったと思います。そこは私のミスです。皆さんも気をつけてください。良いスタッフさんも居ますが、ここの雰囲気は暗いし居心地はハッキリ言って悪い。

大通りに位置するホステル＆バー。珍しいクラフトビールや世界のビールも取り揃えていて、国籍を問わず盛り上がっている。オーナーの女性もとても明るく気さくな性格で人気があるのも頷けた。ホステルの価格もリーズナブルで、比較的遅い時間のチェックインでも対応してくれて良かったです。あと名前の通り看板猫が2匹居て人馴れしています。場所をとらない二輪なら（大通り沿いなので盗難等は自己責任のもと）お店の前に置かせてくれたのも嬉しかったです。

リビングの日帰りプランで利用させていただきました。阿倍野までの距離も近く、観光にも便利な拠点かと思います。

最高すぎて、居心地よすぎて、帰ってきたら鬱になるくらい素敵な場所。自分にとってはすごく大切な居場所です。

Friendly English speaking staff!

素敵なオーナー夫妻さん、かわいい2匹の猫くんと大橋くんが迎え入れてくれます。なぜか、地元に帰ってきた感じがして、心地よかったです^^皆さんの地元もここにあるかもしれませんね。。。最寄り駅は別にありますが、天王寺も歩ける範囲なので、たいへん便利です。阿倍野のFisherman’s Wharfこと、阪田鮮魚店さんもすぐ近く。また、併設のバーには、いろんな種類のビールがあります。チェックインであっり乾杯！睡眠前にあっり乾杯！目覚めて4秒であっり乾杯！チェックアウトであっり乾杯！大橋くんはシャンディーガフであっり乾杯！Mad Cat Hostelの皆さんであっり乾杯！また、帰らせていただきます🙇🏼‍♂️

Great atmosphere and good selection of drinks. I came to the bar with my friends and enjoy a craftbeer. Therere a lot of foreign beers, and not the same mexican beer of always (Im talking to you you Corona beer.... instead Modelo negra beer , I love it!!!The owners are so friendly and kind! They speak English and a little bit of Spanish , we had a good chat.If you come to Osaka I totally recommend you have a drink here.

気さくなオーナーさんで楽しい時間を過ごせます。

わかりやすい場所にあります。熊野街道がある松虫交差点が目印猫が2匹ギャンカワです。ネコ好きな旅人さんにはパラダイスな宿です。二段ベットの上段は上り下りが急でこわいので下段をオススメします。めちゃくちゃ安いしちょうどいい広さで快適でした。

Was planning to stay there for one night ended up staying seven nights. The owners are a Japanese couple and they are the nicest people ever. Also they have really nice bar with all kinds of mix drinks and beer!

ゲストハウス。お洒落。涼しそう。ヌコがお出迎えしてくれる。

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!

Very nice and great times to meeting travellers and friends feel like home

とても清潔でリーズナブル。ホテルのすぐ近くにコンビニや飲食店もあり、帰りが夜遅くなっても天王寺から歩ける距離なので、立地も全く問題なく、非常に快適に過ごす事ができました。オーナーのご夫婦がとても親切だし、可愛い猫ちゃん2匹にも癒されました。ベッドには鍵を掛けて使用する事ができる貴重品ボックスもあり、ドミトリーを利用した事がない方でも心配なく宿泊ができると思います。また、1階のバーでは各国のビールが飲めたり、珍しいお酒が飲めます！とても居心地の良い空間でした。大阪での定宿にさせて頂きます！

Great hostel and super welcoming hosts. I really felt like at home during my stay. I highly recommend this hostel (and its cute barif you want to know the real Osaka and its people.

お店の方も優しく、アットホームで居心地の良いBarでした。

何度でも来たい

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 thats more youre 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. Youre 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 "Wednesdays cat." If youre 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 youll hear them chatting in the morning when theyre 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.

Staying at Mad Cat was a delight! Reiko and Toshi are amazing hosts and make their guests feel right at home. The hostel is beautiful, clean and cozy. It is close to public transit as well as convenience stores and there are tasty foreigner friendly bars nearby.

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!

Die Gastgeber sind super nett und die Atmosphäre richtig familiär. Die Bar selber ist auch top, da kann jeder auf einen Drink vorbei

Amazing, clean and comfortable place with lovely owners and a very good location to explore Osaka and surroundings. I will be back one day - I love it and you should stay there!

처음으로 게스트하우스에서 묶엇는데 텐쬬도 너무 상냥하고 같이 묶엇던 사람들도 외국인인데 불구하고 이것저것 잘알려주고 너무 친절했습니다.침실도 특히 화장실이 청결했고 다음애 또 오사카 온다면 여기서 묶을 예정입니다.샴푸 컨디셔너 바디 워셔 드라이기는 구비 되어 있고 타월은 빌릴수 있어 문제 없었습니다 😍😍It was my first oppertunity of guest house. I could borrow towels. And also drink at the bar as well. If I have chance to stay in Osaka I would stay at this place again.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights right after they opened. The private room was simple and comfortable. The bathrooms were very clean! The owners were both friendly and accommodating. I would recommend to any traveler going to Osaka.

とても清潔で、部屋もベッドも広めでゆったりできました。バーも併設されているので、近くで飲んだ時には、最後に一杯飲んでそのまま泊まるのも良いかと。

雰囲気が良い。人が良い。

大阪を肌で感じリラックス出来る時間を過ごせるホステルだと思います。アイドル的なニャンコちゃんはまだまだ新米だけど優しくもてなしてくれます。立地も最高でまた利用するつもりです。

Awesome hostel (and Barin 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.

前日のホステルが人の気配がまるでなく（満室のはずなのに）、対照的にこちらはとても賑やかで楽しかったです。リアル猫ちゃんデビューの日が待ち遠しい。

親しみ易く、大阪をとても感じられる！

ホステルに併設されたBARが最高でした！
