Top Kobe Animal Kingdom Hotel Reviews

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."

Hotel Monterey KOBE

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice room, good breakfast, helpful staff."

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"

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

8/10 Good

"Ideal for universal studios. Complimentary laundry detergent and in-apartment washing machine was very welcome. No children or tattoos in the spa (fairly typical, but worth noting). Overall we had a great stay here and would certainly use again if we were to return. This is a serviced apartment in a residential area."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"."

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."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Live this hotel, the view, the staff, how big it was and close to the park. In front of the station super convenient. Don’t get a taxi from there though because the hotel called in a taxi for us and told us it was going to be 4,000 yens and gave us a receipt but the taxi charged us almost 8,000 yens(on our way their). One taxi driver wanted to leave my parents in the middle of the road because that is were the 4,000 had marked, and kept insisting for them to get off even though my parents were like its okay we will pay the remaining just take us to the hotel ( on their way back)."

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, 5 mins walk to Umeda train station and next to great restaurants, bakery, Lawson convenience store and 7 eleven very close by. Provided clean towels everyday. Helpful staff, excellent service. Room size for one person with minimal luggage. Provided toothbrush, toothpaste, hair comb, hair tie, shaving razor, shower cap. Cotton swabs etc."

Hotel Keihan Universal Tower

8/10 Good

"The rooms were a bit outdated but we upgraded our room to a suite with a fantastic breath taking view of the harbor and city lights. The staff were amazing and friendly with excellent customer care. The highlight for me was the hot springs onsen and steam room after a long, tiring day and was opened until 1am which was perfect. The lowlight was guests have to pay an entrance fee. The breakfast buffet was very delicious with a high variety to choose from. The location was perfect and I highly recommend this hotel for all the amenities, wonderful customer service and fabulous views. The upgraded rooms were very large, spacious and just beautiful!!"
