Hotel Seagull

I stayed at this hotel because they offered a very affordable plan with Shuttle Service to Kansai Airport for an early morning flight. After spending two nights in Shinsaibashi and moving from the Expo, I found navigating Osaka's many transfer routes from JR Bentencho Station with large luggage a bit confusing. I ended up taking the JR train to Kansai Airport. Although I successfully transferred at Rinku Town to reach Iharanosato Station, I made the mistake of not exiting through the ticket gate during the transfer, which required fare adjustment. Since fare adjustments couldn't be made using Mobile Suica at unmanned stations like Iharanosato (though card types are accepted), I had to settle it later with JR East after returning home. I'm still unsure if there was a fare adjustment machine on Rinku Town's platform or if exiting through the gate was necessary.The hotel was conveniently located along the road, with a Don Quijote store open until 10 PM nearby. Despite being budget-friendly, it offered spacious beds, well-equipped amenities including a refrigerator and kettle with tea, making my stay very comfortable for one night. However, traveling from central Osaka to Kansai Airport felt quite far.

I booked a last-minute deal as I had an early morning flight from Kansai Airport. The Hotel staff were very kind, and I had a pleasant stay. I will stay here again when using an early morning flight.
