Excellent location ”
Excellent location within 2-3 minutes walk from the Universal Studios Japan entrance gate. The accommodation and breakfast are ordinary and straight forward, but the convenience was superb. If you stay at the Park View room, you’d enjoy the nice view of the park from above as well.

It’s ok”
This hotel is right in front of the park, perfect access to universal city and all it’s shopping and restaurants. It is old, the facilities are quite average but ok for a night after the park, good sleep and view to the park. This is of the few hotels in Japan that did not offer complimentary water bottles.

Pleasant stay at Hotel Kintetsu Universal City Osa”
I was planning a holiday for my family in Tokyo and decided at the last minute that we would include a visit to Universal Studios in Osaka for our 4 year old daughter. So as not to deviate too much from our Tokyo itinerary, we decided to spend only one night in Osaka ie. take the early shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka to be in time for the park opening in the morning, spend the whole day at the park, and return to Tokyo the following day. It was therefore important to find accommodation that was close to the park so as not to waste valuable time commuting from the hotel to the park and back. We were therefore very pleasantly surprised to find that Hotel Kintetsu Universal City was literally a stone's throw from the park - it took just 1-2 minutes to take a pleasant walk from the hotel doorstep to the park entrance! That wasn't only the plus point - the room was also very spacious and came with free take home Universal Studios toiletries. I will most definitely stay at this hotel on my next visit to Universal Studios, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Nearest hotel to Universal Studio Japan”
During our stay, my son told me that if we are visitting USJ again, he want to stay at this hotel. I would recommend this hotel to those who want to enjoy themselves at USJ. Since you can buy admission ticket at USJ counter on ground floor. I got discount from buying express pass from being guest of this hotel. You need to recheck this special rate again from USJ's web site under Benefit of staying at Official Hotel of USJ. One more thing, this is the only hotel that equipped with in room Safe box. My other 2 didn't have. Hotel officers hardly speak English but they are very willing to help in everyway they can.

Great location. Clean room. Right across USJ. ”
We searched for a hotel that's good value for money and near USJ. And we hit the jackpot! It was just a stone throw's away from USJ. The room was clean, and the view was great. It was quite an old hotel but very well maintained. The staff was very helpful and accommodating too. We had a great and memorable stay there. We will definitely be back. And of course, we will recommend it to family and friends.

A perfect place to stay”
If you're quite on budget but still want to stay in a hotel that is very near to USJ, this is the best place for you. A few minutes walk and you're there. I love how friendly the staff are. They even help us to get the room we wanted since our agent messed up our booking. The place was accessible to almost all shops and you have variety of choices of food resto. The place was so clean and staff were very accommodating. The only difficulty we had was communication. Not all can speak english so may want to learn to speak a bit of japanese. I would like to stay there again if ever we visit japan again.

Everything is fine except for the cleanliness in breakfast restaurant”
Location is great. It's just in front of USJ entrance. The hotel theme is cute. The staff is good, explanation is clear. I stayed for 2 nights so I can have breakfast in both international restaurant and Japanese restaurant (which is OOTOYA). Inter bf is interesting, various food are offered. But then I found that the soft-cream spoon has some yolk stick to it. Then I checked every single spoon and found it dirty. That's terrible. So I change to OOTOYA in the next morning and everything is okay. I suggest the hotel improve the cleanliness of the restaurant.

Great value, and large space.”
The hotel is big and look great,even it is an old type look and aged. Its room is much larger than most Japanese hotel, so if you are not looking at a newer or fashioned hotel, then this one will be the best buy.

Universal studios hotel”
Right in front of the main entrance of USJ. The only disappointment I had was they were giving me a smoking room when it was clearly indicated on my booking details that I booked for a non smoking room because have a child.
