Hotel Seagull is the walk to an Osaka ship. Our pins put it about 0.1 miles from Tempozan, and the hotel’s own FAQ settles what the booking sites argued over: 18 parking spaces at ¥1,650 for the night, check-in from 15:00, check-out at 10:00.
It scores for the distance and for serving breakfast in the building, and that’s all. There’s no pool or communal bath, the night’s parking isn’t cruise parking, and the ¥1,100 breakfast figure is what children pay.
Ask the desk two things before you book: the adult breakfast price, and whether it will hold bags after the 10:00 check-out.
Book it if
- Your ship sails from Osaka and you want to walk to it
- You’re landing in time for the 17:10 bus to Tempozan
- You’re driving in the night before and want one of 18 spaces by the Kaiyukan
Look elsewhere if
- You want dinner or a drink without going out
- Your car is taller than 2 m and the hotel lot may be full
- Your ship sails from Kobe
