Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

Oriental Hotel Universal City

8/10 Good

"Great place close to USJ. Just be careful of the lifts… they shut very quickly and don’t stop"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Modern smart hotel with great breakfast and good facilities. My room was Japanese style, so small, but had everything I needed. Great value"

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Brought my staff for a business vacation and they were satisfied with the hotel and its location."

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"The room was much bigger than my friends and I expected! We were pleasantly surprised to find that what we thought would be a standard hotel room was actually an apartment with a full kitchen and balcony. Having all that extra space was amazing! The location was also very convenient, especially for visiting Universal Studios, with a train station nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here!"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a very good hotel, very nice, good location, rooms were well maintained, breakfast was excellent. The only problem we had was the bathroom. The wet room and tub allowed nowhere to leave anything hanging dry. So you needed to place your change outside where there’s no door for privacy when you step outside. Then there’s very little hooks to place towels or clothes. May be minor to some people, problematic to others."

Hotel Keihan Universal Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff! Very close to Universal City Station and Universal City Walk. Loved the room we had which was 4 low beds."

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"The staffs were top notch. Very friendly and accommodating. Great help with booking us a taxi. The room was spacious with a great view. Love the location for Universal Studios & City Walk."

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

8/10 Good

"Great property and excellent value. Breakfast was odd. food was not very close to what is on North American menus. Other than that we had a great time. Close to the park and drinks were really good."

The Singulari Hotel & Skyspa at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"Would like to stay again."
