Sango Vacations from ￥29,733

The staffs are very friendly and helpful. They spoke English and provided recommendation and direction. Not too far from food district area in Namba

Beautiful property and so convenient and close to Kyoto station. Breakfast was very delicious. One criticism is that even with the Expedia VIP benefit there was still a 2000yen charge for the spa which felt unfair considering the cost of the stays here

Rooms need to be updated. Carpet many stains…

Located just right outside Universal City Station and Universal Studios Japan itself, this is one of the best hotels you can stay at if you're planning for a trip down to USJ. It can be on the pricier side, but if you treasure your sleep and want to be right outside the gate just as it opens, this is your definite go-to for lodging. Also helps that your bed is just a 5-10 min walk away from the gates after a long day of queuing and walking (and of course playing) at USJ! Our feet and back were aching, and it was a relief we could rest up without travelling via train again. It was also a nice touch to have breakfast the next morning waiting for us downstairs. Amenities are great, you've got your usual heated toilet seat with bidet, good hot shower and tub, aircon and all. Pillows could be better, but all the staff there were great. Breakfast was good too. It was a continental breakfast with some japanese dishes. Free flow drinks and ice cream. There was a kids section at the buffet that had all kids would ever want, fries, spaghetti bolognese and some other fried stuff (no veggies HAHA) and these tables were thoughtfully lowered, so that they could help themselves to them. A very nice touch. All in all, will be back again for our next USJ trip when the Donkey Kong land opens

Hotel is located 3-5min walk from Daikokucho stn, wh is 1stop away from main shopping area Namba stn. Can also walk to JR Imamiya stn on the JR osaka loop line to take to USJ via Nishikujo st. Big, spacious room with comfortable beds, washer.
