Guest House mii, hotel in Osaka

Attractively set in Osaka, Guest House mii has air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace.

Guest House mii is a fantastic place to stay in Osaka! The location is simply unbeatable—situated near two metro stations, one of which offers easy access to Osaka Castle and Umeda Station. Namba is also within walking distance, though you can conveniently hop on the metro to get there as well. The staff truly stood out—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. Their helpfulness made my stay even more enjoyable.

Cat Spa & Cat Ryokan by Neco Republic Osaka, hotel in Osaka

Ideally located in the center of Osaka, Cat Spa & Cat Ryokan by Neco Republic Osaka has air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge and a bar.

We loved how kind and friendly the staff were and the pure experience of it. It was a traditional style layout, and we hadn't realized you actually book the entire room. The facilities were clean and it was so fun to just watch the cats play and sleep and exist. The location was amazing, easy to walk 15ish minutes to major Osaka locations.

    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.

    Very clean, well presented rooms. Had the family room which was a good size for 4 adults. It would be perfect for families with kids that want a cheap stay. Check in is all self managed. Once we had checked in on the tablet, the receptionist called to confirm we had all the room details, great service. Communal area and balcony was very clean and usable. Didn’t hear any other guests. It’s thin line between hostel and hotel. Very close to all the main markets too.

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.

    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.
