Nara Prefecture Holidays

Located just right outside Universal City Station and Universal Studios Japan itself, this is one of the best hotels you can stay at if you're planning for a trip down to USJ. It can be on the pricier side, but if you treasure your sleep and want to be right outside the gate just as it opens, this is your definite go-to for lodging. Also helps that your bed is just a 5-10 min walk away from the gates after a long day of queuing and walking (and of course playing) at USJ! Our feet and back were aching, and it was a relief we could rest up without travelling via train again. It was also a nice touch to have breakfast the next morning waiting for us downstairs. Amenities are great, you've got your usual heated toilet seat with bidet, good hot shower and tub, aircon and all. Pillows could be better, but all the staff there were great. Breakfast was good too. It was a continental breakfast with some japanese dishes. Free flow drinks and ice cream. There was a kids section at the buffet that had all kids would ever want, fries, spaghetti bolognese and some other fried stuff (no veggies HAHA) and these tables were thoughtfully lowered, so that they could help themselves to them. A very nice touch. All in all, will be back again for our next USJ trip when the Donkey Kong land opens

I really enjoyed my stay here. Only issue is that it is a little out of the way from Kyoto station and other more dense areas in Kyoto.

My favorite hotel in Osaka, I stay here every time now. There is a Fantastic food court in Osaka station that’s only a five minute walk. The hotel is New York style, elegant 1930s. So many transportation, opportunities, quiet area. But connected to everything.

Hotel is located 3-5min walk from Daikokucho stn, wh is 1stop away from main shopping area Namba stn. Can also walk to JR Imamiya stn on the JR osaka loop line to take to USJ via Nishikujo st. Big, spacious room with comfortable beds, washer.

The two bed room was nice and had space to walk around easily with two people. Our room window showed a view of the city and got plenty of natural light during sunny days. The bathroom was nicely designed and the floor was made to keep the water flowing down and away from the sink and toilet. The hard material used also allows any residual water to dry quickly. Hairdryer, toothbrushes, comb, cups, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, all provided. You have square magnetic signs that are stuck onto your hotel room entrance door, you can take the appropriate label and stick it onto the square space on the outside of your door to let people know if you are sleeping/wanting room cleaning. The breakfast buffet is a must for this hotel! There are so many good choices of fruits, and dishes. Oranges, grapefruits, pineapples, grapes, mango mixed in syrup, mixed berries, strawberries, cereal, milk, juices (green veggie, orange, apple, pomegranate, and more), toast/breads, fried noodles, salad, tomatoes, dressings, white rice, miso soup, corn soup, runny eggs, hard boiled eggs, tater tots, pork, chicken, beef curry, salmon, cheesecake, and more! The staff are very kind, polite, respectful, and patient. They helped us with our luggage delivery and our 2 small luggage’s cost around ~4000yen including taxes and fees to Tokyo. The washing and drying machines are very nice and using them is easy. Put your clothes in the washer, close the lid and put 3 100yen coins and the machine starts
