–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking facilities, so guests arriving by car will need to find nearby options, which may be limited in central Osaka.
- Pets not permitted — The hotel does not allow pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animal companions.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Reception is 24-hour, but check-in is officially from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may need to arrange alternative entry.
- Smoking rooms available — While non-smoking rooms exist, the presence of smoking rooms may affect guests sensitive to odours, despite the hotel's soundproofing and air conditioning.
