There was a minion on the first floor at the front desk, which was very cute.This time, the children had a great time in the party room. The bath and toilet were separate and no shoes were allowed in the room, so I was able to relax.But a tick? I was bitten in more than 8 places by...It was my first time to be bitten like this while staying at a hotel, so I was quite surprised...I think it's quite a negative point. I think it's difficult, but I would like it to be improved.I was expecting Disney quality from the staff, so I was disappointed. It wasn't good or bad.

Stayed for 3 nights from 14-18 Oct. Very near to USJ yet quiet enough for a good night rest. There is a counter for tickets sales at the hotel lobby as well. Staff are very friendly and helpful! Good view of the amusement park. In-house coin laundromat available.

The hotel is a little dated but the excellent service, good maintenance, clean rooms, high quality toiletries more than make up for it. It's a short 5min walk to USJ, JR station and City walk.

A fun space from the lobby in collaboration with Minions 😀The cafe was also dinosaur themed and as a REX fan, it was fun for me and my kids too 🦕In the morning, you can not only have a buffet, but also take out food at a cafe or buy food from a convenience store, which you can do while preparing in your room.Separate bathrooms and toilets are really good if you are traveling with children!The washing area was not too small even for children, and it was nice to be able to relax in the bathtub. When I wanted to wash the bathtub when I changed the hot water, I didn't have any tools, so I had to use the same thing I used to wash my body, which was a bit of a problem.The coin laundry can sometimes be crowded depending on the timing, but if you choose the time, you won't have any problems.I thought the detergent was automatic, but it didn't seem to be the case, so I bought it in a hurry and put it in. I thought that automatic detergent injection would be more helpful when using the detergent after getting tired from playing in the park.Although it wasn't on the park side, it was nice to be able to see the ocean from the room. Every time I went, I could only see the buildings unless I was facing the park side, so it felt very open and comfortable.The hotel had an official shop, a convenience store, a cafe open from morning until night, and was within walking distance of the park, so it was well worth staying.I would like to stay in a collaboration room next time.

I went to this hotel just because of the location so I could go to Universal Studios early in the morning, and the room was spacious, friendly, and nice. My child loved that the lobby was decorated with Minions. The room condition was good at a reasonable price compared to downtown Osaka.

The service from check-in to check-out was very courteous, and the room was very clean.Since this time we only had breakfast included, the breakfast was so delicious that I ate to my fill.I would like to use it again when I stay in Osaka.Although it's not too bad, the bed was a little hard and my body hurt when I woke up.

The reception staff are friendly, the room is quite large, the bed is very comfortable, the toilet opens and closes automatically, the bathtub is large and clean, the massage service in the hotel is very good, I will choose a longer time next time.It only takes five minutes to walk to Universal Studios, and you can also visit the shopping streets along the way. I will choose this accommodation next time I come to visit.
