This is a remarkable hostel that does everything right. It’s clean, friendly, cute, and more. You’ll have a blast here. I didn’t meet the owner, but shoutout to Pedro and Yoshi (some of the coolest hostel workers you’ll encounter). Some people complained about the location, but it didn’t bother me.

Loved this hostel! Very clean, friendly owner and manager. The cats are great! The only thing is that the location is not ideal. It's a tram ride to the train station or a 15-20 minute walk.

This hostel was amazing, I’m allergic to cats but I did not feel itchy or sneeze once during my stay. As a solo traveler, this hostel was great to meet other travelers especially the staff. Yoshi and James were amazing hosts and gave great recommendations around the town and even went clubbing with them for a night. They also rent bicycles at a very reasonable price and Osaka is an amazing city to explore with a bike. I would definitely come back to Mad Cat for the amazing people and the two mascots.

The best hostel I've been to so far. The cats are adorable, the atmosphere is cocooning and conducive to exchanges with other travelers. The facilities are good, the kitchen practical and the bed comfortable. There is a small chest that can be closed with a padlock (ready on site or your own). Finally, thank you for this great welcome and this warm atmosphere (almost like at home) 😊
