Hyogo Prefecture Holidays from AU$1,421

Rooms need to be updated. Carpet many stains…

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

Stayed with my wife and 2 kids - Had an amazing time, close to train station and very clean. Excellent service. Not sure why its not a 5 star hotel but it should be!

Very convenient location near the Namba Osaka shopping and food area

The hotel felt like a condo not a hotel. It is self check in & out with the kiosk. As soon as you walk in the small lobby or reception area you are greeted with stored luggages for the day. Like most rooms in the hotel our room was small but comfortable enough and clean. The beds are a bit too firm for our liking. There is self serve brewed coffee & tea on the lobby which is nice. Other needed toiletries are available as well which you can pick up beside the coffee machine. Lots of nice restaurants in the are but they are small restaurants & therefore fill up quickly during dinner time. Hotel is easily walkable to the nearby subway station. There are a few convenient stores a block away as well. I love that there is a laundry facility in the hotel itself. One downfall is that they do not vacuum the hall ways frequently enough, we were there for 5 days & the same dirt/garbage were laying on the floor.
