Top Sawa-no-Tsuru Museum Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well stocked. Super helpful staff."

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a residential neighborhood and is only a 5-minute walk from the train station. It is beautiful, clean, and spacious. The bathroom has a washer, but no dryer. You have to hang your clothes on the clothesline on the balcony or in the bathroom and turn on the bathroom fan. It takes at least an hour and a half for your clothes to dry in the bathroom. We were there in August, so our clothes dried fastest outside. It was a great experience for us. The only thing I didn't like was that they served the same two breakfasts every day. It's not bad if you’re staying for a weekend or less than four days, but it’s not ideal for those staying more than a week unless you don't mind eating the same thing every day. The staff was very respectful and welcoming."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"A bit of a skyscraper, modern, well located hotel in the Umeda district. Good for getting around. The hotel is a bit souless, which starts from the moment you check yourself into the hotel. The rooms are tiny no room to swing a cat, but rooms are comfortable, clean, with good bathroom and Japanese mini bath. It is a popular and busy place, but room was quiet. Great view from the 21st floor. Good value for a couple of nights."

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT

8/10 Good

"We arrived late to check in to our room from our flight. Check in process was simple and easy. The only issue we came across was not having many food options due to how late it was and our kids have allergies. Very easy and convenient walk to USJ and City Walk. The building is a little bit old but they do maintain it well and it’s clean."

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT VITA

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great and location to USJ"

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing onsen with true mineral waters, so relaxing after a long day. Close to free ferry over to the Osaka aquarium and directly across from the train station and Universal Studios"

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"

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"
