“Hostel Familia” - Family luxury life Near umeda

They had a great kitchen to cook and a great set of beds in each room.

A rare place in Japan that can accommodate 3 adult couples (3 bedrooms, 3 toilets/wash basins, 2 showers - one with a tub). A good kitchen and a generous supply of tea/coffee, some condiments, etc. A dining room/table that can sit 6 adults comfortably. It was perfect for us (3 adult couples) to spend 3 comfortable nights.What we REALLY appreciated once we started to stay there is the convenient access to several train stations all within 10-15 min walk (which is a normal distance to a nearby station in Japan). Depending on where we went, we could choose different stations/lines all within easy walk. That made our movements so easy. In case someone wants to rent a car in the area (as we did), there’s a Toyota car rental shop near one of the stations (15-min walk). Finally, it was a breeze to catch Shinkansen (one stop to Osaka and from there just another stop to Shin-Osaka). Last but not the least, the host, Akira san, was always responsive to our queries, including simple/silly ones we shouldn’t have bothered him with.

The stay was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was well thought out and clearly explained. The host was very communicative and helpful with anything we needed. The space was super clean and included everything from cooking oil to water to teas and coffee. I would 100% stay here again the next time I come to Osaka. The home was easy to find and very close to a subway station and 24-hr grocery store. Very quiet and safe neighborhood.

I traveled with my parents and aunt and there was plenty of room for the four of us in this rental. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the space as well as all of the amenities. There were three bedrooms (with multiple beds in two of them), 3 toilets, 4 sinks and 2 showers. Our host also had slippers, tons of towels and toothbrushes (we didn't need them but nice to know they were available.) In the kitchen there was plastic wrap and foil, plenty of dishes/silverware and mugs/glasses. He also provided 8 bottles of water - so thoughtful. We thought the neighborhood was great. Plenty of school kids and and adults walking around in the morning. There is a delicious bakery 4 blocks away as well as a Starbucks. Seems most other coffee places don't open until 10-11am. The Starbucks opened at 8. There is also a 24 hour grocery store around the corner. This place is about a 10 minute walk to the train station. Would definitely stay here again and I would recommend to my friends and family. Oh one more thing, our host also provides pick-ups/drop offs to the train station. I forgot and didn't set up a ride to the train station with him, but he learned we were going to the station and offered to take us. He was able to drop what he was doing and take the four of us with our 6 bags and 3 backpacks at the last minute...again, soooo thoughtful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
