Rakuten STAY URBAN Osaka Higobashi

Fantastic location! Everyone heads to Higobashi, and there are so many great restaurants nearby. Plus, it's generally very quiet.

Considering the incredibly low price, the room size was more than enough for one person. It was a pleasant surprise to have a separate bath and toilet, which is rare for a business hotel. I was also happy to find the 'Pillow That Doesn't Need a Sheep' (Hitsuji no Iranai Makura), which I'd been curious about after seeing it on social media recently. There's a shared lounge on the first floor with a coffee maker and water server, which I made good use of every morning and evening during my two-night stay. It was also a great help that they stored several of my bags after check-out until the evening. The front desk staff were very kind. It was a typhoon day, and there was a possibility that the bullet train wouldn't be running the next day, so I asked if I could extend my stay. They cheerfully looked into it for me, which I really appreciated (although the bullet train ended up running, so I didn't need to extend my stay).

Convenient location, close to the train station and many attractions. The staff spoke good English.

The room was clean for the price, and the bathroom was more spacious than I expected. They had a good selection of amenities, so I'd like to stay here again. There were a lot of manga in the common area, and I wish I had more time to read them next time. This trip, my schedule only allowed me to sleep here.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much given how incredibly reasonable the accommodation price was, but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean it was, exceeding my expectations. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were also polite and pleasant. For this price and quality, I'm extremely satisfied. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely like to stay here. It was a hotel with excellent value for money!

It was very clean and the amenities were excellent! I would definitely love to stay here again when I come back to Yodoyabashi!!!!

Overall, it was clean and I felt comfortable using the facilities. I was happy to have access to a free coffee machine and a 'pillow that doesn't need sheep' (referring to a comfortable pillow that helps you sleep easily).
