Backstage Osaka Hostel & Bar

leuk klein hostel. met een leuke lokale bar met leuk personeel.

It’s a bed

The hostel was clean and all the staff were lovely but there's no common area or lounge besides the bar which is only open ftom 18:00 to 2:00 so the whole rest of the day you either need to be in your bunk or out somewhere. It was a little frustrating to have nowhere else to go when at the hostel besides the room.

Ok place to stay for a couple nights

Great comfortable hostel. The pub is very charming and the owner has some great advice.

Despite not being a bar person, Backstage Osaka Bar & Hostel is easily one of the best hostels I've stayed at. Its super close location to Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, DenDen Town, and other parts of Osaka means that there's plenty of things to do with only 10 minutes of walking. The hostel part is far enough away from the bar that you can barely hear bar patrons at night when they're being loud, and can't hear them at all when they're quiet. The bed & blanket was also very comfy.

By far, my favorite hostel to stay in Osaka !

David, le gérant est super ! L'endroit est très agréable, je n'y suis resté qu'une seule nuit, mais j'ai adoré ! J'y retournerais avec le plus grand plaisir !

Don’t stay here. There are no locks on the doors, nowhere safe to put your valuables and it’s not clean. There is one toilet, sink and shower for 12 people and the beds are so thin you get barely any sleep. The ‘air conditioning’ is 2 fans so the room is super hot and smells damp. The shower door doesn’t reach the floor and the shower door ‘lock’ is an old key chain. I asked for a refund and never heard back. Didn’t feel safe as a solo female traveler

Solid hostel but fairly basic. Daniel is a really nice guy. Met plenty other solo travellers here and it’s nice that there is a bar downstairs. Mattress was quite hard and dorm room was a bit stinky like.

This was my first time in Osaka and this location is great! Short walk or subway ride to all the fun areas. Would definitely stay here again! Staff were great and nice to talk to.

great place

Hostel room was extremely small with nowhere to put bags. There were no lockers for storing valuables ands people could just walk through the bar. The bathrooms were extremely dirty, and not cleaned well enough. The rooms themselves were so cramped and the entire hostel smelled like vaping. The staff was more concerned with smoking cigarettes and playing video games than doing things around the hostel.

Nice hostel for the price and does the job!

The hostel is a great place to connect with other travelers, I always stay here 💜

I don't have a lot to say : I arrived at 00:30am and left at 10am. I chose this place just for one night in between travels. But the staff was friendly, and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean. So, nothing to complain.

Una gran decepción, la cama extremadamente incómoda, no me dieron opción de cambiar de cama, me negaron servicios, y además fueron algo groseros, al grado que tuve que buscar otro hostal para mí segunda noche... nada recomendable

Daniel était très sympathique et compréhensif. Bon emplacement pour vivre le nightlife d’Osaka. Nous n’étions pas convaincu du prix par nuit (environ 65$). La circulation d’air n’était pas au top, ce qui n’était pas l’idéal avec la chaleur de l’été au Japon. Les deux éviers étaient complètement bouchés. Nous étions dans un dortoir avec des gens sympathiques, excepté un adolescent qui voulait constamment se battre. Les matelas et l’espace étaient assez minces et re...

This is my second stay in Osaka, and both hostels have been disappointing. The room was unbearably hot with inadequate AC, especially during summer. There’s no AC in the hygiene areas, so I’d sweat immediately after showering. Staff doesn’t show up until 3pm when the bar opens, and the owner seems more focused on the bar and his friends than the guests. He also stayed in the dorm, walking around in his boxers smelling of cigarettes. Completely inappropriate considering it was a mixed gende...

My friend invited me to stay there because of the bar. The room is very simple, it's more just for staying only. The mattress are comfortable but the shower is small. Beside me and my friend there were only guys in the room but we could meet girls at the bar downstairs. It's clean for Osaka standards and it's cheap for downtown. I recommend for the bar. At night you can hear the street so I don't recommend to people with light sleep.
