Great value, Fantastic location and super friendly staff. Will definitely be returning when I come back to Osaka.

Great location

Was only there for a night and it was a lovely place. Stayed in a private room for 3 and it reminded me of a cute apartment. Friendly staff who were more than willing to help us out. Conveniently next to a train station as well, so really easy to go to other parts of town. Thanks again for everything!

Stefan and Daniel were great hosts. They are friendly, inviting and building a great culture for travelers. Whether it’s your first time in Osaka or you’re a frequent visitor, Backstage is a great place to make new friends. It’s also a bonus that they serve the best expression martini’s in all of Osaka. Thank you guys for your hospitality and retrieving my parcel while I was in Kyoto!

I was assaulted in my sleep in the mixed dorm by someone who appeared to be there with a small group that was buddy-buddy with the bar manager. I'm not suggesting anyone else was in on it, but it did mean I didn't feel safe making a complaint, so I just left alone in tears in the early hours of the morning before anyone else woke up, and continued to have related anxiety for the rest of my trip. Price, service and location were otherwise fine, cleanliness and comfort only so-so. Based on my experience I can't say I would recommend it to solo travellers of either gender.
