Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals may be a problem.
- No private bathrooms in some rooms — Twin and loft rooms share bathrooms, which may not suit everyone.
- Not the closest to central Osaka — Although near USJ, it's about 7 km from Tsutenkaku Tower, so sightseeing in central Osaka requires a longer trip.
