Launch of “No-Sheep Pillow” Introduction Campaign
You’ll drift off before you can even count sheep… Zzz
So comfortable, it feels like you’re floating on water.
*Comfort may vary from person to person.*
An urban Accommodation offering a refined stay in the Higobashi area, where business and culture thrive.
Enjoy a comfortable, clutter-free stay in a space that blends functional storage with refined design. Just about a 3-minute walk from Osaka Metro Higobashi Station, with direct train access to major areas such as Umeda and Namba. All guest rooms will be fully renovated in February 2026. Thoughtfully designed storage lets you neatly organize your belongings and make the most of the limited space. All rooms feature INOAC urethane bedding to support a restful night’s sleep. Shared Facility include a coin laundry (paid), vending machines (paid), water dispenser, coffee machine, microwave, and more—please feel free to use them.
Perhaps it depends on the Room, but since this was after the rebrand, it wasn’t a futon like in some Reviews; it was a mattress on a raised platform and just as comfortable as a bed. There was also convenient storage space under the bed.The Room was reasonably spacious, and having the bath and toilet separate felt very practical.It’s close to the station, the staff were kind, and I’d like to stay again.
It was a small Hotel with about five Rooms per floor, but the Room was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom and toilet were combined, but it was about 3 tatami mats in size. I would like to stay here again if I have the chance.
