Top Kobe Water Science Museum Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast spread was amazing room was spacious , very close to the train line. Staff was excellent and helpful in English."

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing"

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"Close to a train station"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Excellent Location, and Helpful Tips We had a very good stay at Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE Osaka and would happily return! Location: Fantastic! Hotel sits atop a huge shopping complex with easy train access, a restaurant floor with plenty of choices, and basement access to a grocery store, McDonald’s, and a pharmacy. Despite the hotel’s size, elevator waits were never over five minutes. Breakfast & Service: Good variety at breakfast of both Eastern and Western fair, with staff efficiently managing crowds. Check-in was quick, English-speaking staff were helpful, and housekeeping was excellent. The Room: Our standard double was quiet but tiny. Fitting luggage was a daily game of Tetris! Ask about luggage storage for empty bags if staying several nights. Blackout curtains were excellent, outside noise virtually nonexistent, deep tub was great for soaking. A Few Tips: Bring your own pillow! The hotel’s polyethylene-filled pillows were uncomfortable for us. We bought replacements at a nearby home store. The combo washer-dryers were small and left heavier items very damp. We used a coin laundry five minutes away by taxi and had clean, dry clothes in about 90 minutes. Bring plenty 100-yen coins. The hotel does offer a reasonable laundry service if you wanted to use that instead. Arriving before 3 p.m.? Expect a crowded lobby as guests wait for rooms. Bottom Line: Excellent location, convenient transportation, breakfast, and helpful staff make this a great Osaka base."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Close to train station and universal studios. Good-sized bedroom and has a 7/11 close!"

ART HOTEL Osaka Bay Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staffs are very nice and helpful, especially the lady her name is Dozono. I also enjoyed the view at night. If I have friends planning to go to Osaka, I would love to recommend this one!"

Kobe MerikenPark Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"The lobby was spectacular and the elevator super cool. Breakfast was very good. Lots of different options. The view was really nice looking over the harbour. It’s a bit far from any shops or restaurants but the park land around the hotel is lovely. The only thing I really didn’t like was the cruise ships that dock alongside. The engines run all night, sometimes the music is loud and obnoxious although it didn’t go late. But it meant I couldn’t sit on the lovely balcony. But if you don’t mind being a bit far out from the centre it’s probably quieter than the main area of the city."

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

8/10 Good

"The room was older but well maintained. The staff was nice. It opens out onto universal citywalk, which was great. I would recommend"

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

10/10 Excellent

"I made this reservation for my family so they could enjoy Universal Studios and they loved the hotel. It was clean and breakfast was amazing."
