La Posada del Viajero

Two-pearl La Posada del Viajero Hostal is a basic option with a top location just a few blocks from Plaza de Armas and the cathedral. There are no frills here and it’s tricky to find, hidden down a shabby alley. Inside, though, the off-street location gives the property a secluded feel, and the bright interior courtyard is a nice place to kick back. There’s a laid-back atmosphere and guests use the kitchen facilities when the daily free buffet breakfast is finished. The hotel is popular with groups thanks to the larger rooms, which can have three and even five beds. Alternatively, La Casona de Rimacpampa has a similar rustic style and might be preferable for those traveling in by train, as it’s a bit closer to the station.

Osaka Guesthouse Nest

The two-pearl Osaka Guesthouse Nest is a well-maintained modern hostel in the Tennoji ward within a short walk of the Tennoji Zoo, Abenobashi Terminal Building, and several train stations. With only 32 units, the feel is intimate, and the atmosphere is friendly. A communal kitchen is available for guests to cook meals, and a coin-op laundry, public computers, and lounge with a TV round out the property’s features. Regular private rooms, Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats, and female-only and mixed-gender dorms are available, and all have AC, free Wi-Fi, and utilize shared bathrooms with showers. The hostel’s sister property, Osaka Guesthouse Hive, is identical in quality, but it’s closer to the Umeda business district and to Osaka Station.
