Overall Rating

174 out of 191 HostelBookers customers said that they would recommend 'Guesthouse U-en'

Guesthouse U-en is a renovated Japanese traditional house with cafe and bar downstairs, a good location within walking distance of Osaka Castle, and Kyoto, Nara, Kobe! Our house will be your "home away from home"!

We are an old Japanese guesthouse located in the center of Osaka within walking distance from the JR Loop and the subway station (N19). The ground floor of this building was once a printing factory, and the upper level was a family home. We hope you enjoy the traditional atmosphere of this rustic Japanese home.

You can relax at the large lounge room & cafe place downstairs. If you wish to experience what is a real traditional family home, this is the best place for your stay in Osaka.

-All rooms have Tatami mats with sleeping Futon (Not western style beds)
-There used to be just one small shower room but we have another new clean shower room!
-All rooms are non smoking. There is a smoking area downstairs at cafe space.
-Guest rooms are on the 2nd floor but there is no lift.
-Restrooms are shared and separated on the 1st & 3rd floor.
