Top Gokurakuji Temple Hotel Reviews

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."

karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Thumbs up for me ! Staff was helpful"

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"We had the spacious room, which lived up to its name! The room was great, very generous amenities in the room, and the breakfast buffet was enormous! We loved this hotel. It was super convenient for USJ, and a great view across the water. Highly recommend."

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

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"Very good room, lots of space for our family of five. The separate rooms was a nice change from most family room style in Japan."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Phenomenal views of Kobe Port from the balcony and the night views are absolutely stunning. We took the West view facing the ferris wheel and enjoyed all the light shows in the evening. The hotel is a bit dated but no complaints at all. The free shuttle bus from Sannomiya station is super convenient. There is also a Family Mart within the hotel (closes at 11pm). The location is prime as it's a 3 minute walk to the Kobe Port Tower."
