HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

8/10 Good
"The hotel was very clean, modern and super close to universal studios. They also have a ticketing office and large buffet. I just wish they would have assisted me with my luggage. They had luggage carts but I was stuck having to take it up to my room. Also, the coffee shop did not open till 8:00am, so I had to wait to buy my coffee."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent
"we very much enjoyed our stay with this hotel, and we could not have asked for a better location being steps away from Namba station. we were in walking distance to everything! there is a 7 Eleven right in the building, laundry facilities that are 24/hr and each load to wash and dry is 600 yen - which is very affordable for hotel laundry. The buffet was fantastic! the rooms are tight, but not uncommon for hotels in Japan in general, but they have a seating area right outside 7 Eleven so if you're an early riser in your travel group - you can leave them to sleep. Rooms have blackout blinds - which we appreciated. Very happy with our stay overall! My only complaint was that I paid through Expedia and we got buffet with our hotel cost, but when I went to check in, which is all automated through kiosks, it asked me if I wanted to add breakfast for approximately 3000-3200 yen/person, I declined because I checked my reservation and I had it included. When I got everything printed to get access to our room, it printed my breakfast tickets, I am unsure if I had of said yes to add breakfast if it would have charged me twice? That is why I don't love the kiosk check in, even if it is faster. I asked to check in with an agent but they would not let me. small matter but worth mentioning for anyone who adds breakfast through expedia."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed despite that I have visited many hotels all over the world. I will surely stay there again if I travel to Osaka again. The staff are very courteous and respective (not unexpected from Japanese culture), they are very helpful and professional. The cleanliness of the hotel and facilities is unrivalled. The location is perfect for me and the family because it is devoid of hustle and bustle of city centre life but not far by train to any location in Osaka because a train station is just about 3 minutes walk across the road from the hotel. It has water view if you want that serene view in the day or evening or while eating at the dinner restaurant. It is also a stone throw from some of the key tourist locations such as ferries wheel, Osaka aquarium, Universal studio city etc. A free ferry will take you on a 3-minute journey from the hotel area to the ferries and Osaka aquarium and others. You can also walk to the Osaka Universal studio city from the hotel. Overall, I recommend the hotel because you will get value for your money."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good
"We booked this hotel 6 months ago and asked for a quiet room. They put us next to a family with a constant crying baby in and out of their room and balcony banging around. It amazes me that they had 6 months to manage our request!! However the room itself was really nice and an amazing outlook over to the sea. The breakfast was average. We did go to the roof Terrace twice for a drink and found the head bar man unhelpful and unfriendly. We asked to try the house wine which comes by the glass before ordering but were faced with a rather direct and blunt ‘NO’ which we found awkward. Not a great experience and the hotel ultimately misses out on business."

"Hotel is good love the location. The breakfast buffet is somewhat awful and I would certainly skip especially for the price they charge. Lots of food options around right out the door. Beds were not very comfortable and pillows were rocks. Other than that great location would probably try one of the other hotels next time but it wasn’t bad and would stay again for sure. They won’t let you check in early either 3pm and it’s a big line as everyone is just waiting…"
