One of my favourite hostels I’ve ever stayed in. Ken the owner is super nice and has made the place extremely comfortable for guests. Free laundry, free towels, free bottle of water each day and many other luxuries are available. Everything is clean and the rooms, kitchen and lounge are all great. Located in a peaceful neighbourhood but still has all the conveniences of shops and restaurants and is easily accessible by train to and from anywhere you want to go.

As a cat lover, this was an amazing experience. But also to experience a ryokan. The sleeping area was comfortable and we might have an idea of why many cats prefer boxes to sleep🤭 We were just a little bit too excited to sleep tightly as we could miss some action with the cats. You can choose when you would like to have one private hour with all cats. We chose right after the closing time on the same day of our check-in as we couldn’t wait any longer to meet the lovely felines. All cats have been strays and are being well taken care of at this place. Each character is respected and they have enough space to retreat. The staff is very nice, kind, and attentive, and even though English skills were lacking, we could communicate well. The sleeping area is clean and has a lot of nice amenities. The bathroom was very practical and well thought through. We recommend staying here without hesitation and would love to come back again one day and buy something from the souvenir shop to support these cats and the facility. This is one of the few places where the cats' well-being is taken care of. Their work is ethical; you can even adopt a cat after some process.

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.

    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.
