Very cozy hostel with everything you need located in a quiet area but not far off from the city centre. The host is also welcoming and has great recommendations. Definitely an awesome hostel to come in contact with other travellers and enjoy Osaka. 10/10 would come back.

By far the best and most memorable place we stayed during our visit to Japan!! As a group of 4 we got the whole place to ourselves. The bed capsules were spacious and the futons were warm and comfortable. Being able to see the cats through the glass at night was a wonderful experience. The bathroom and shower area were wonderful, very clean and equipped with the best amenities. With your stay you get a free entry to the cat cafe durning business hours or before opening or after closing if you prefer to be alone. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, and the cats were well taken care of and very playful. It's important to point out that this is one of the few places in Japan that takes good care of the cats and acts as an adoption agency as well, other places are not ethical. I cannot recommend it enough!

Please note that I’m quite a pedantic person, and a hostel is the last place I would want to stay at. When I saw Hostel Chillax’s listing on Booking.com, I was immediately drawn to the place. I’m travelling Japan alone for the first time, and wanted to find somewhere affordable and conducive to meeting new people. Upon arrival, I was immediately greeted by the friendly Nori-san, the proprietor. I hadn’t realised that I had accidentally booked a female-only dorm, much to my disappointment in myself. Nori-san was understanding and gracious, and offered me a private room for the night until a bed in one of the other dorms had freed up. His hospitality and generosity is world-class, and his proficiency in English made communicating even easier with my very limited Japanese. As for the amenities: I am somewhat a germaphobe, and was worried about the bathroom facilities before arriving. However, upon seeing the shower room and toilet, I was pleasantly surprised and extremely relieved at the cleanliness and orderliness. The staff were all helpful and approachable, and made me feel immediately comfortable in my lodging. The location is perfect, and only about a 10-minute walk to Dōtonbori district. The terrace out back overlooking the river is a beautiful little spot to read a book and sip on a beer while watching the hustle and bustle of the city. The hostel is decked out in reggae memorabilia, and there’s always some great music playing in the background. There’s even an NES console in the living area! The vibes were immaculate. Thank you so much Nori-san for allowing me to stay in your wonderful establishment, and many thanks to your staff for their help. If I could give the place 6 stars, I would! Next time I return to Osaka, I will definitely be staying at Hostel Chillax, hopefully for even longer!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

It was my second time staying here. Great location, friendly staff and very cheap. Previously I stayed in a superior capsule and I was surprised at how much space you have. This time I stayed in a standard capsule in the female dormitory and the bed area is quite spacious. The facilities are also very clean. I would definitely give this a go if you're going to Osaka for a short stay.

Best hostel in Osaka for meeting new people, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The receptionist was willing to go the extra mile, he even shared his dinner with us. Late checkout was possible with no extra charge, the receptionist was willing to wait for me for a late check in, nice terrace and benches outside reception as well as kitchen and common parts. Beds were clean and comfortable had a good sleep, dorm was quiet at night, good AC. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for good value for money

Very backpacker hostel vibes. Place is basically run by volunteers, this isn’t a bad thing but just know what to expect. Kitchen is good, common area easy to meet people. Super cheap, overall a decent stay, although personally wouldn’t be my first choice.

Extremely cheap backpacker style accommodation especially considering that it is private rooms rather then bunk beds. Futons are surprisingly comfortable. Common room seemed to be quite busy most nights if you are the social type. Pretty good location, 15 minutes or so from Namba Station. Easy enough location to get around. "Poorer" area so provides an interesting and different look into Japanese life, always felt safe though. Several convince stores nearby to buy water and a breakfast bento on your way out sightseeing.
