Top Minatogawa Shrine Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Onsen environment is too hot, less enjoyable"

Oriental Hotel Universal City

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect if you’re going to USJ and if you don’t mind taking the train into Osaka. It’s not a very long ride to Namba city or any other major sites around Osaka. The rooms are nice but the bathroom is a bit tight compared to other hotels we stayed around Japan. We would definitely stay again if we were traveling to Osaka. I wish the ac was a bit stronger but it was still very comfortable. There is so much in terms of restaurants and konbinis in the city walk area, you won’t feel like you’re missing out not staying in other Osaka areas. We loved our stay here."

Hotel Monterey KOBE

8/10 Good

"The room was cozy and on the smaller side, but it was clean and comfortable. Towels and amenities were replenished every day, and the pajamas were also changed regularly. I especially enjoyed the showerhead in the bathroom…it felt wonderful and was a nice touch. Although the hotel was quite busy with many guests during the summer vacation, our room was quiet and we were not bothered by any noise. One downside was that the bathing facility on the second floor was always quite crowded, and I often had to wait. There was also occasionally a sewer smell coming from the toilet in our room. Since the room was otherwise cleaned so thoroughly, it was a little disappointing to notice the smell. All of the staff were kind, friendly, and courteous. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would definitely like to stay here again."

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

8/10 Good

"Good acess to the train lines. Use the port behind the hotel to acess the Osaka acquarium."

Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay

10/10 Excellent

"A great hotel to visit. The staff is friendly, the breakfast is good. It's located outside the main city so is a peaceful area."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a fantastic location to base yourself for universal studios japan, with views of the park. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating for us. The rooms were comfortable and modern, providing everything we needed for our stay."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"很好的酒店，出行方便"

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

8/10 Good

"Initially this property was not located where I thought, the property is more in a working industrial area on the water. The area is not loud nor did it hamper our stay, we just accommodated by having to go down an extra station to Universal. Unit was clean & comfortable."

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"We booked this hotel 6 months ago and asked for a quiet room. They put us next to a family with a constant crying baby in and out of their room and balcony banging around. It amazes me that they had 6 months to manage our request!! However the room itself was really nice and an amazing outlook over to the sea. The breakfast was average. We did go to the roof Terrace twice for a drink and found the head bar man unhelpful and unfriendly. We asked to try the house wine which comes by the glass before ordering but were faced with a rather direct and blunt ‘NO’ which we found awkward. Not a great experience and the hotel ultimately misses out on business."
