Top Kobe Water Science Museum Hotel Reviews

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very large, clean, and had wonderful amenities. I wish they had a larger selection for breakfast. They only had 2 pre-set options, no extras, no à la carte, no substitutions. Otherwise great stay!"

Candeo Hotels Kobe Torroad

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing!"

The Singulari Hotel & Skyspa at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"While the room wasn’t incredibly spacious, the space had been used well in terms of design and furniture— my personal taste is not loving a shower-over-bath for comfort (particularly after a long day walking with sore legs) however that’s not a deal breaker for me. Friendly staff, and great amenities as well as an awesome location both for public transport access and access to universal studios"

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for a 5 night stay. Easy to travel around to other day trip destinations. Surprisingly the sounds from the trains were barely noticeable. Room was comfortable with nice views of the Bay."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Near shops and restaurants."

Oriental Hotel Universal City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, excellent location near USJ."

Hotel Monterey KOBE

10/10 Excellent

"clean and cozy. It is located in the middle of the downtown"

ART HOTEL Osaka Bay Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were spacious and super clean. We didn’t eat in the hotel as lots of options in the shopping centre outside. We had an issue with the safe on the last day and they were there to fix it within minutes. Perfect place to stay."

Hotel Keihan Universal Tower

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked this hotel! Super close and convenient for Universal and some fun family rooms with bunkbeds that the children loved. We would definitely stay again."
