Hotel operators have more lease protections. During the lease period, the internal losses of the property are borne by the operator, and the rent collected by the hotel owner is the net income before tax. On the contrary, the owner of a B&B will face certain depreciation and loss expenses, and the actual return will be discounted.

The government has stricter regulations on hotel construction than residential buildings, and the construction cost is higher than that of ordinary residential buildings, so the selling price is also higher than that of B&B properties.

The guest rooms of this type of business hotel are generally small, and are more suitable for investment and rental purposes, but not for self-residence. If the purpose of purchasing a property is for self-residence, a general B&B property should be a better choice.

Although Osaka's land and property prices have risen in recent years, it should be noted that the secondary market for hotel rooms is not as active as that for B&Bs. If the owner wants to sell the property in the future to cash out, it may take a longer time to sell it.
