Top Kobe University Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"The property was conveniently located near public transportation and within walking distance of many sightseeing attractions. However, I was disappointed by all the extra charges, including fees for the washer and dryer and access to the gym. There was also no iron available in the room. With so many basic amenities costing extra, the stay felt less relaxing and didn’t really give me the vacation experience I expected, especially in such a tourist-friendly location."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"We three persons stayed for two nights in a corner room, room is spacious even though added a bed. Location is convenient. Recommend staying in the hotel."

Oriental Hotel Universal City

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location and convenience to transport from and to other stations along with food hall one floor down."

The Singulari Hotel & Skyspa at Universal Studios Japan

8/10 Good

"This is a nice family friendly hotel steps away from Universal City train station and Universal Studios. The hotel is in City Walk Universal, and it’s the newest one from the few that are there. We loved the fact that you can buy Universal Tickets (including express passes) in a dedicated hotel lobby. This was invaluable because we loved universal so much we all wanted to go an extra day! I terms of front desk staff it was hit or miss whether you’d get a helpful person or one that would do the minimal but overall it was good as long as you don’t take it personally! 😀 Overall it was a very pleasant experience for our family of four which included a 10 and 5 year old. We would definitely stay here again, although next time we will probably try one of the other hotels in City Walk."

Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay

8/10 Good

"I would have liked ice available for the rooms without having to call for. Maybe a small ice machine near water dispenser. The breakfast was superior and the staff was very good and helpful. Mahalo."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is good"

Hotel Monterey KOBE

10/10 Excellent

"エントランスが神戸の街に合っている。三宮の中心部に出やすい立地。"

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is good if not great. The room I stayed is very clean. However, if you take a huge suitcase or more than two, I wouldn't recommend staying there because rooms are very small. I wish that they consider removing the massage chairs from some rooms .."
