Great hostel, loved the hosts and staff. I feel like other travelers can sometimes make or break the hostel experience, but I felt like everyone was quite respectful of each other and overall had good vibes during my time there.

We had such a nice stay at Pax while in Osaka. Moka greeted us warmly upon arrival, sat us down and explained the rules of the hostel. She is friendly, kind and made us feel right at home! The hostel rooms, kitchen and bathrooms were extremely clean. Hank was great to talk to and provided us with guidance and local suggestions. The bahn mis and coffee were delicious and the overall vibe of the place was cozy and welcoming. We met other travelers and everyone was friendly. Can’t wait to return some day!

Cozy and welcoming!

My stay at PAX started with a welcoming staff who carried my luggage up to my room and also Introduced me to the local area and provided me maps and suggestions. PAX is a relaxing space with records and a slide you can enjoy! WiFi is Strong and the beds are comfy. I highly recommend this hostel!! It’s about a 5 min walk to the subway. Thanks for a great stay! Much love ~Michelle~

Perfect stepping off point in Tsutenkaku

Easy to find hostel with a cafe and record place down the bottom that serves really great coffee and such yummy food! I had the vegetarian banh mi two days in a row and it was so nice. Oishi! Check in was easy and the reception offered to take my bag up the steps to my room which was really nice. Really friendly and easy going staff, mainly Japanese and good English (I will learn more Japanese for my next visit I promise!). I was in the female dorm and the bunks were quite private and comfortable with a lock box, a little shelf, a light, a plug and some hangers on hooks. I had a little trouble getting up and down the ladder cos my fat thighs kept getting stuck, not sure why the wood goes up so high cos I found it a little unwieldy with my uncoordinated body hahaa. The bed was comfortable but got a little warm in the middle of the day when I slept in cos I was next to the window but it wasn't really an issue. All the facilities are very clean and well looked after. Only one shower in my area but I didn't have a problem accessing it (luck, perhaps?) and there is a very cheap onsen close to the hostel. There really wasn't much to fault whatsoever and they were really kind to me about a massive stuff up I made due to a change in my circumstances so I recommend this place wholeheartedly. Other guests were very nice too. Thank you!
