Mad Cat Hostel Osaka & Bar

Met some really awesome people - and cats

- the location is very good, it was very easy to get to many main attractions - it has a very easygoing and welcoming atmosphere. it was so easy to talk with other travellers, and even the staff in the living room, it felt very homely :) - most importantly, the cats are absolutely wonderful !!

nothing to report :)

I stayed here about two years ago with some friends and had a blast. I came solo this time, and was a little apprehensive that it might not live up to my memories because of it. What a fool I was. Mad Cat is an absolute joy to stay at and it's a very large part of why Osaka is my favorite city in Japan. You can really feel the love and passion put into this quirky little bar/hostel/cat café by Rieko and the staff (shout out to my guy Yoshi). The vibes are immaculate, the beds are comfy, the cats are cute, and the people are chill. Stay here and you won't regret it.

I had to leave Kogo and Maru and go back home :(

One of the most social hostels I have ever stayed at. The location is in a quieter part of town but easy enough to reach. The beds were super comfy AND having a kitty shaped icecube in my whiskey at the bar was awesome. It was also cool to have locals pop in for a chat as well, really made me feel welcomed. Thank you so much for everything Rieko, Yoshi, Tim, Oscar, Kosei, Kogo & Maru <3

My stay was too short...
