HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT VITA

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property right by Universal Studio. Very short walk to the Universal City Mall area and right by the train station. Room is very clean, but a little bit tight when you have 4 people in it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely book here again if we ever get the chance to return to Universal Studio."
