Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"If you like a fantastic breakfast, this is a wonderful place to stay. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. Our room was comfortable and it is located as an easy walk between Yodoyabashi Station and Osaka Station. The location is perfect for those not craving the wild lifestyle. Its calm. My only regret was that we did not use all the hotels amenities until the last part of our 5 night stay. The onsen was good, and there is a tea and coffee bar on the second floor with the best teas I have ever had. Laundry facilities took ¥100 yen coins (easy if you do not have an electronic wallet)."

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Rise Osaka Universal Bayside. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed to feel at home after a long day exploring Osaka and Universal Studios Japan. The location was fantastic, especially for anyone visiting Universal Studios Japan. It was incredibly convenient and made getting to and from the park easy. The hotel itself was modern, stylish, and very welcoming. The bed was comfortable, the room was well maintained, and everything was exactly what I hoped for. After spending the day at USJ, coming back to such a comfortable room was honestly perfect. The staff were also friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations, and I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Osaka. Highly recommended, especially if you’re visiting Universal Studios Japan!"
