GRAND HOSTEL LDK Osaka Shinsaibashi

Short walk from the hostel used by Intro Travel for after their tour over. Also the subway train stairs on the same street/block take you straight down to the train that 4 stops later is at a main station where the airport train leaves from. Very short walk if raining. Also short walk to many arcade covered walking streets with lots of shops and places to eat Toilets and showers always clean. Always one free as plenty of showers. Great water pressure, not and cold water. Dorm beds have curtains they are like pods, have a safe that fits a laptop and things that size, but not a bag. Comes with a key. Often encounter staff cleaning. Would stay here again if in Osaka.

3-3-26. It was okay. Bed was old twin size in my dormitory, building seemed old and out of date, not a bad experience, just not a great one. 4 out of 5 star

The room smelled a little weird but otherwise was in a super convenient location by a little cat cafe, the staff were very nice, and the hostel itself was super cute. Would recommend for a short term stay :)

The room was clean and in ok condition. We had a private room and bathroom but weren’t allowed to eat in the room which isn’t on the information anywhere. The bed and pillows were abit hard but it was clean. If say it’s what you pay for.

Stayed for 5 nights, get a change of sheets halfway through. If staying in Osaka, definitely can’t beat the price and amenities available to young travellers.

Clean facility, friendly staff, and convenient area that is walking distance to shops, restaurants, and train station. Would highly recommend.

Close to everything. I will say, the hostel requires you take your shoes off at the front and put it on a shoe rack and itn

The staff were hospitable and loved the amenities provided!

The rooms are small but the common spaces are clean and very nice. The staff was very helpful

Great place. I highly recommend.

It was warm welcome from every staff. 😊

Our family (2 adults, 8yr old son) stayed in a private 2 double bed room for 6 nights in March 2025. We were extremely happy with our experience. The room was very spacious and the bathroom/shower rooms were wonderful. I would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to small families. There is a shared lounge and kitchen which we utilized to cook additional veggies as we found it lacking when eating out. There are two induction ranges and pots of water come to boil very quickly. The kitchen tools were sufficient for our needs. We found the staff and other visitors to be pleasant during our stay. There is luggage service but the company used does not ship to every location so you will need to confirm via shipping website. We were able to use this service to forward luggage to our next hotel in Tokyo with no issues. Impressed and loved our stay here.

Overall very good. Recommended heartily to one and all.

The kitchen was nice and it was very clean overall. However, this is not a social hostel at all and they have one event a week. It’s really hard to get to know anyone here. Also the mattresses and pillow were extremely uncomfortable which made it hard to get a good sleep. Also, the pods aren’t sound proof at all so you can hear if someone is climbing onto the bed above you. The location is good and convenient.

Great place overall near all the fun entertainment!

The staff was wonderful and check in process went very smoothly. The dormitory was quite clean and quiet throughout the night. I wish there had been a better option for luggage storage rather than just a corner in the side of the room. In a central location that made it easy to explore!

Good hostel. Highly recommend.

Great service and very helpful even after hours.

The common area was big and spacious. There’s also an elevator served up to level 7 which is great as we were having many luggage. Room was big and clean for 5 of us. The only con was that there isn’t any wardrobe to put away our clothes.

Overall it was ok. But the comfort of the beds was horrendous. Literally got maybe 3 hours of sleep. We are crosscountry backpackers and are used to sleeping on the ground with campings pads and honestly it was about the same as sleeping on those. It was barely worth the money per night.
