Top Minatogawa Shrine Hotel Reviews

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful stay everything was amazing"

The Singulari Hotel & Skyspa at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, the experience was very good! Room was clean, staff was helpful and location is prime!!!!"

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed despite that I have visited many hotels all over the world. I will surely stay there again if I travel to Osaka again. The staff are very courteous and respective (not unexpected from Japanese culture), they are very helpful and professional. The cleanliness of the hotel and facilities is unrivalled. The location is perfect for me and the family because it is devoid of hustle and bustle of city centre life but not far by train to any location in Osaka because a train station is just about 3 minutes walk across the road from the hotel. It has water view if you want that serene view in the day or evening or while eating at the dinner restaurant. It is also a stone throw from some of the key tourist locations such as ferries wheel, Osaka aquarium, Universal studio city etc. A free ferry will take you on a 3-minute journey from the hotel area to the ferries and Osaka aquarium and others. You can also walk to the Osaka Universal studio city from the hotel. Overall, I recommend the hotel because you will get value for your money."

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."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, just a little small room but we were very happy"

Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay

10/10 Excellent

"I can not believe how beautiful the hotel is and all it has to offer. I wanted to extend my stay in Osaka just for the hotel"

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed on 17th floor facing airport, amazing views, great amenities, a massive hotel with normal big hotel amenities (laundry service only). Comfortable beds and pillows. One downside was walls between rooms super thin, lady in room next door coughed all night long 😞, limited sleep had."

Hotel Keihan Universal Tower

8/10 Good

"Hotel is good love the location. The breakfast buffet is somewhat awful and I would certainly skip especially for the price they charge. Lots of food options around right out the door. Beds were not very comfortable and pillows were rocks. Other than that great location would probably try one of the other hotels next time but it wasn’t bad and would stay again for sure. They won’t let you check in early either 3pm and it’s a big line as everyone is just waiting…"

ART HOTEL Osaka Bay Tower

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Art Hotel. Our double room was spacious enough for two people and impeccably clean. The view from our room was amazing and especially beautiful at night. The hotel itself is luxurious. The lobby is beautifully decorated. It was also very convenient as the hotel was near so many stores and restaurants and Solaniwa Onsen. Definitely would stay here again!"
