This is my second time staying at OEH. The first time was 2 yrs ago.
Both times were good.
Great people are running the place and great people come to live and/or volunteer here There`s a very nice atmosphere. It can be very social at times but also, one can always find a quiet spot to focus on personal projects.

The kitchen has everything including plenty of cupboard and fridge space. There are 3 showers-there`s never a problem with having to wait or hot water..
The rooms have a comfortable bed or bunk beds and a desk, as well as good storage/cupboard space.

The house is cleaned daily except on Saturday and Sunday.
There are 3 coin operated washing machines and 2 dryers.

The walk up the hill with heavy luggage can be a challenge but it`s uphill only for about 7 min of the walk from Hirakatashi Station. 

I enjoyed some nice walks around here and recommend the plum tree grove near the main shrine.

Enjoy!

Nice people, nice house

I came to OEH as a volunteer staff in exchange for accomodation. The tasks required are incredibly easy to complete which feels like you’re not really working at all! You get plenty of time to yourself which allows you to travel in between Osaka and Kyoto (~20 min by train). The community is awesome, I ended up spending most of my time just hanging out with local residents, watching movies and playing games. Also the house staff are very helpful and they make sure you are well looked after. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back!!

Amazing people and incredibly comfortable

My friend and I stayed at Osaka English House for two weeks in the summer of 2019. As others have attested, OEH's location in Hirakata is very convenient for exploring the Kansai region; Kyoto and Osaka are both a 20-30 minute train ride away, and we were also able to visit Uji and Nara easily. The OEH staff are friendly and accommodating, and the many facilities (lounge, kitchen, dining room, laundry machines, etc.) make for a comfortable stay. As work exchange interns, my friend and I helped with posting flyers, daily cleaning, chatting in the lounge and the like; we felt we were thus able to meet great people in OEH and elsewhere in Hirakata while still having time to go on touristy excursions. Wonderful experience and we'd like to come back some day!

Awesome two-week stay

I have not been here long and so far it`s been so much fun. There are the staff members who are really nice and helpful and at the moment there are 2 highly entertaining foreigners living here. The Japanese residents I have met are super fun and dedicated to practicing their English. They are generous with helping one practice Japanese or with introducing the language and culture. I am looking forward to the rest of my week-long stay. I recommend coming to enjoy yourself while learning and sharing at the Osaka English House!

Funnest stay

I stayed for about a month in Osaka English House and this was probably one of the best places i could've stayed in the Osaka / Kyoto area. 
It only takes about 20 minutes by train to get to both Osaka and Kyoto. On top of that there is plenty of things to do in the Hirakata area. 
The house itself is awesome. The house had both International and Japanese residents who formed a little community. There was always something to do in the house and there was always someone to welcome you home after going out. 

Rooms are clean and have everything you need. 

Would recommend!

Great, friendly and extremely convenient!

We had a really good stay at OEH! They organized a BBQ and a curry one night which was perfect to meet Japanese people! The location of the OEH was perfect, 20min form Kyoto and 20min from Osaka. This place is specially good for long stay! The staff is really friendly!

Excellent location and good events!

Great place to stay! We really enjoyed our time here and are coming back when we are in Japan again. The people are the cherry in top here. So nice, eager to help and teach you some Japanese. The place is perfectly located between Osaka and Kyoto and also Nara is only an hour away. 
The showers are clean and there is even a bath. The kitchen is well maintained and everybody helps to keep it clean. In the lounge you can have a nice chat or just hang and watch TV.

great place, amazing people

If you are traveling around Osaka or Kyoto area this is a perfect half way point to stay. Access to either of these cities is really easy and everyone at Osaka English House is awesome! Very friendly and will help you with whatever you need. The quaint city of Hirakata holds some hidden gems as well. Everything is within walking distance along with the train station that can get you to Osaka or Kyoto in less then an hour for around 500 yen. I stayed here for about a month in the hostile style rooms downs stairs. Private and clean, very nice and relaxing place to stay. I miss being in Hirakata!
