The Pax Hostel — Hotel in Osaka

Truly a home away from home... you might not want to leave!

Having spent 10 days here, this is what I have to say:

Very cozy, homely and original interior. colorful, soothing, latin influenced yet japanese efficiency

The staff is extremely helpful, professional and amicable at the same time, a nice personality, authentic and relaxed vibe.

Very clean

Rooms are cleverly compact, clean, cozy

Perfect mix of privacy and socializing.

a true sense of calm and peace

rooftop access

has everything you need, you can get towels and washing machine (for a small fee)

living area has a record collection, and people can be the DJ with the available laptop.

residing on the corner of a very lively, authentic and charming neighbourhood. Easy to find a peaceful area and to go find life at the same time. Authentic stores, restaurants big and small, izakaya's, everything less than a minute away

likely to meet people from everywhere around the world. Seems to attract soul-searching individuals.

Tsutenkaku tower right there in view!

a few minutes away from several metro stations

close to a park

hearing the history behind the name explained by Saki is just wonderful.

very safe area even if this area is considered the most dangerous place in Japan. You just might see some weirdo's but this makes it all the more authentic.

it has one of those fancy japanese toilets!

oh yeah and there is a slide! from the upper floor to the living area :D

with all of this in mind the 23 euros/25 dollars per night...

My Husband and I took our honeymoon to Japan and we were able to travel to many cities and towns. Since fancy expensive hotels aren't our thing, and we love meeting new people from all over, we love staying at hostels. We happen to find The Pax prior to our trip and booked immediately. We were very please with the reviews we had read prior and it looked like a fun, hip, and energetic hostel. Fast forward, we are now back at home and we can't help but to think about the Pax often and how wonderful of a time we had! Reminiscing of when we first walked in the doors, we were greeted with smiles and such amazing hospitality. I can't rave enough about The Pax and how much we enjoyed our stay. Our favorite aspect were the amazing staff. Hiro, Shin, and so many others were so very kind and welcoming. They even took time out of their work schedule to mingle and really get to know us. It made you want to stay friends with them forever! The sleeping arrangements were comfortable and I felt safe and secure in our shared quarters. People were respectful and everything felt clean and organized. If you like adventure, wonderful people, hip and hippy-like environment, then stay here. My husband and I will be back and can't wait to walk through The Pax doors again :) Oh!!!! and one of the many perks are the live shows they do in their lounge area! Talk about awesome musicians and energy!! We miss you Pax!!!...
