Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Excellent Location, and Helpful Tips We had a very good stay at Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE Osaka and would happily return! Location: Fantastic! Hotel sits atop a huge shopping complex with easy train access, a restaurant floor with plenty of choices, and basement access to a grocery store, McDonald’s, and a pharmacy. Despite the hotel’s size, elevator waits were never over five minutes. Breakfast & Service: Good variety at breakfast of both Eastern and Western fair, with staff efficiently managing crowds. Check-in was quick, English-speaking staff were helpful, and housekeeping was excellent. The Room: Our standard double was quiet but tiny. Fitting luggage was a daily game of Tetris! Ask about luggage storage for empty bags if staying several nights. Blackout curtains were excellent, outside noise virtually nonexistent, deep tub was great for soaking. A Few Tips: Bring your own pillow! The hotel’s polyethylene-filled pillows were uncomfortable for us. We bought replacements at a nearby home store. The combo washer-dryers were small and left heavier items very damp. We used a coin laundry five minutes away by taxi and had clean, dry clothes in about 90 minutes. Bring plenty 100-yen coins. The hotel does offer a reasonable laundry service if you wanted to use that instead. Arriving before 3 p.m.? Expect a crowded lobby as guests wait for rooms. Bottom Line: Excellent location, convenient transportation, breakfast, and helpful staff make this a great Osaka base."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel a unos minutos de dotombori buena ubicacion muy bonita vista a la ciudad"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff. Nice size hotel room."

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"Great value, close to Universal Studios Japan (on train stop or 15min walk). Our family of 5 was very comfortable there, it was clean, spacious, and the kitchen area and laundry were great to have. Automatic check in process was smooth (we provided our passport info as requested ahead of time) and the included set breakfast was large (western or Japanese option) which is great since we travelled with tweens/teens."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Close to train station and universal studios. Good-sized bedroom and has a 7/11 close!"

ART HOTEL Osaka Bay Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staffs are very nice and helpful, especially the lady her name is Dozono. I also enjoyed the view at night. If I have friends planning to go to Osaka, I would love to recommend this one!"

Hotel Keihan Universal Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing in helping with tickets and luggage forwarding especially Diana who speaks English. Walking distance to multiple convenience stores, pharmacy and train station."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"The lobby was spectacular and the elevator super cool. Breakfast was very good. Lots of different options. The view was really nice looking over the harbour. It’s a bit far from any shops or restaurants but the park land around the hotel is lovely. The only thing I really didn’t like was the cruise ships that dock alongside. The engines run all night, sometimes the music is loud and obnoxious although it didn’t go late. But it meant I couldn’t sit on the lovely balcony. But if you don’t mind being a bit far out from the centre it’s probably quieter than the main area of the city."

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

8/10 Good

"The room was older but well maintained. The staff was nice. It opens out onto universal citywalk, which was great. I would recommend"
