hotel · Bay — Universal Studios
Hotel Universal Port Review
A large hotel at Sakurajima 1-chōme in Konohana-ku, a four-minute walk from the park entrance.
Best for
Families doing the parkEarly entry, and going back to the room at middayAnyone who would rather not carry a tired child across a city
Why it stands out
The four minutes. On a park day with children that is worth more than any room in the city centre.
Main trade-off
Everything else in Osaka is a change at Nishikujō. The area scores 5.5 for transport, the lowest of the seven, and 5.0 for food.
Why we recommend it
Best for the park gates
Our pick for the Bay because it is four minutes on foot from Universal Studios Japan, which is the only thing this area is for and the only reason to stay in it.
