"We had a lovely time here! We were travelling by public transport, and this spot is a little of out of the way, but they sent a shuttle to the train station and it was easy to arrive. It was not clear from their website that the restaurant would not be open for dinner, and the closest restaurant by foot (other than McDonald's) was a 30 minute walk away. That was no problem; we had a nice walk, a great dinner, and really loved the onsen!"

"Beautiful peaceful ryokan with the full Japanese experience. We loved both of the bookable bathhouses- great after a chilly day in the Deer Park. The kaiseki dinner in your own private adjoining dining room was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were all very lovely. Highly recommend. "

"Incredible location, minutes from kiyumizudera. Definitely take advantage of the great bar and cafe on site. We didn’t have a chance to check out the restaurant but it smelled great. Best part was walking through Gion at the end of the night to get back."
"We had a great stay at Hotel Universal Port. The hotel was very nice, clean, and exactly what you’d expect from a well-run theme park hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the rooms were well-kept and comfortable.
Amenities were a bit limited, but that’s understandable given the location and the high number of guests. One feature we really appreciated was the luggage storage—being able to store our bags after checkout for free was a big plus. There is a ¥100 deposit, but it’s returned when you bring back the key.
We also enjoyed how close the hotel is to the ferry, which made our trip to the Osaka Aquarium much faster and more enjoyable compared to taking the train. While there is a short walk to Universal Studios and the nearby shops, it’s very manageable and actually helps keep the hotel area quieter despite being so close to the park.
Overall, a very convenient and comfortable stay, and we would definitely consider staying here again."
