Top Kobe Water Science Museum Hotel Reviews

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"4 beds with in a good space of room"

Oriental Hotel Universal City

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

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!"

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of my favorite accommodations when I visited. It was an entire apartment, so the unit was huge and had everything we needed. It was also very clean. Self check-in and check-out was surprisingly easy and there was some staff on site to assist with questions. The main lobby had vending machines for drinks and food which were very convenient if we just needed a quick snack. There were also yukata available for use that you can pick up downstairs. The restaurant was next door and had an amazing view of Osaka. The spa is also free if you’re staying at the Rise which was a huge win. If you’re using public transport, options were rather limited. It was at least a 10 minute walk to the nearest bus, train station, and convenience store. It’s not a difficult walk but can be a challenge if you have children or (like me) traveling in the heat of summer. Also since there is not front desk staff, it makes it rather difficult if you have any questions about the property."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"They charge you 2000 yen to use the pool 😐 and 3500 to use the gym"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing, you made our first trip to Japan a unforgettable experience!"

The Singulari Hotel & Skyspa at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for one night while visiting USJ, and it was the perfect location. The hotel is just a short walk from Universal Studios Japan and right next to the train station, making it incredibly convenient. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Although we didn't have time to try the skyspa during this stay, it looked wonderful. Next time, we'd love to stay for a few nights so we can relax and enjoy the spa as well. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again."

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at The Park Front Hotel. The location is unbeatable—right next to Universal Studios Japan, making it incredibly convenient. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with excellent views and great amenities. The staff were professional, friendly, and always willing to help. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and everything felt well organized. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka, especially if you’re planning to spend time at Universal Studios. Thank you for a fantastic experience!"

Quintessa Hotel Osaka Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Room size was massive and very impressive with modern facilities. Room and the hotel as a whole is clean, apart from the obvious leak on the ceiling at front desk with visible mold around the aircon. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay!"
