"Rooms very super clean. We stayed in rm. 411 and the outdoor onsen was indescribably amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer shuttle within the onsen area which is super helpful. The onsen experience was amazing. Tho’ a bit pricey, I will definitely stay here again as a treat. The Kaseiki dinner was also amazing. It was a lot of food. Almost like tapas as there are many small portions (11 courses in total). After dinner, another onsen. Out of this world experience!"

Top Kobe Animal Kingdom Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"The mattress was too soft for me"

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

8/10 Good

"Very close to USJ. But no iron."

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."

Oriental Hotel Universal City

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and amazing being so close to USJ"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place in a great location. Clean and nice room. Perfect for our 3 days in Osaka. Staff are helpful, friendly and polite and location was fantastic. Downstairs is shopping mall and restaurants, that was fantastic. Very busy place but not noisy at all. Well worth it."

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."

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!"
