Ok look, I've never stayed at a hostel prior to my stay at Mad Cat, but I'm confident no other hostel will ever compare. The dorm is exceptionally clean with all the conviences needed like a light, privacy curtain, chest with a padlock and power point. The bed and pillow were more comfortable than the hotel I stayed at the night before! The vibes around the hostel are elite! Perfectly curated shared space with great decor, very groovy. The cats Kogo and Maru are icons (and incredibly friendly). The bar out the front creates a fantastic atmosphere for guests, hostel workers and locals who drop by alike. Very social in the best way possible. But most of all, the people. Yoshi, Oscar and Marta are like the coolest people ever, professional at being hostel host people (?) but so easy to get along with. You instantly feel at home. The positive vibes set by the staff infect the guests. Conversation flows freely and it couldn't be easier to make friends. I legit couldn't recommend Mad Cat enough.

Amazing

What an amazing experience! This hostel really exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was super cozy and relaxed, making me feel right at home immediately. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always up for a chat or good tips. The cats Maru and Kogo are also very sweet and friendly. The rooms and common areas were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The location was also perfect: close to everything you need, yet quiet enough to relax properly. I met nice people here and made beautiful memories. Without a doubt, one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, affordable, and social place to stay. I will definitely be back if I get the chance! Thanks for the fun stay and the cozy evenings in the bar with Marta and Oscar as amazing bartenders🤩

Best stay ever

I’ve travelled in 31 countries and stayed in three times as many hostels and this is the best one I’ve been to. If you’re looking to book a hostel in Osaka, don’t think twice and book this one!

A wonderful place to stay. And had so much fun with the staff, and guests and Maru and Kogo obviously

Everything. It was such a beautiful little place to be. Having a bar there was fantastic - listening to sticky fingers with the staff and having a drink while playing uno with other guests! The location was amazing, so many places to eat around and close to stations. The common area and kitchen were great also - getting to sit with Maru and Kogan
