Very convenient location if you’re looking to go to USJ. It’s very easy to navigate. Has a cute vibe too with lots of anime, game, and other merch. It’s a little out of the way of your planning other activities in Osaka. Staff weee nice and friendly. Almost all locations were very clean but I felt a little uncomfortable with all the hair in the shared bathroom.

We really enjoyed J-Hoppers and even booked an additional 2 days. The staff was very friendly, the facilities were clean and well stocked and the common area was comfortable. It was in a great location for Universal and Osaka trips, my brother and I would highly recommend this stay.

Probably one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. Absolutely loved the layout of the beds and love how your belongings can be stored in your little space behind the curtains. The overall cleanliness of the place is very good as well as you would expect from Japan ❤️ Only disadvantage of this place is its location is quite faraway from a convenience store for food.

家族で個室を利用しました。 照明のシェードに積もったホコリが気になりましたが それ以外は清潔で快適でした。

Family Mary not too far, but there is nothing else around the hostel. The train station is not too far either, and going to Universal is one station away. Room was perfect, I had plenty of room for my suitcase.

This hostel is only a good option if you go to universal studios. Even if you do go, the atmosphere was very boring and the guy with the man bun behind reception needs lessons in manners and customer service. He was very rude.

J-Hoppers Osaka Universal is a wonderful Hostel. I loved staying there. I connected easily with the staff, had enough space in my bunk bed for me and my luggage and the common room was very comfy. There were many people who were always in the mood for a chat. Simultaneously it is also very easy to have some me time. The staff is exceptional and always willing to give some tips for the area. I will be coming back. Thank you!

The best hostel option if you want to go to Universal Studios or if you have a JR Pass and ride the Osaka Circular train. It is very clean and the bathrooms and restrooms were always available, didn't have to wait. Big common area with a good kitchen.
