- Compact rooms — Rooms are described as cozy but can feel cramped, especially for those expecting more space.

7.5Verified guest“The location was a real drawback. It's not right by JR Tennoji station; you have to walk quite a way down the street. Even with direct trains to key spots, it wasn't worth the effort. The rooms were cozy but felt a bit cramped, with no view, and the bathroom was just passable. Service left a lot to be desired.”
