Hotel Kintetsu Universal City

I chose this hotel because it's a themed hotel and I wanted to try it out. It was my first time staying at a themed hotel. The decor was very childlike and beautiful. When I booked, I requested a non-smoking room with a view of USJ, and the hotel delivered perfectly. They even gave us a small bag upon check-in.

The room was fantastic! My kids had a blast, and the service was excellent! It's super close to USJ, and the staff at the front desk were very friendly. There are also plenty of great places to eat nearby. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit USJ!

From the hotel window, you can see the queue of people, and it's super convenient to get to the entrance. The staff's service attitude is also excellent; they truly embody Japanese hospitality. They even kept some items I'd left behind in my room and provided extra bottled water. While Japanese service can be a bit rigid, and you usually can't check in even a minute before the official time, everything else was great. It really made me appreciate how hard everyone in the service industry works. If you're looking for a hotel, this one offers great value for money because it's right next to the closest park entrance.

This is my second time staying here, and I can't believe I got two nights for the price of an Atour hotel! The exchange rate really worked in my favor. It's the second closest hotel to Universal Studios, right after the official Universal Hotel itself. The room is perfectly adequate, and it's so nice to be able to come back and rest at the hotel after a long day of playing. Plus, you can eat outside the park – the food inside is expensive and not very good.

This hotel is a lifesaver after a long day, located just 200 meters from the Universal ticket gate, visible right as you step out. The facilities are very comfortable. My only complaint is that the AC vent blows directly onto the bed, and even on the lowest fan speed, it's strong and can't be adjusted, which gave me a bit of a headache after two nights. Downstairs, there are restaurants, a Starbucks, and a well-stocked supermarket. The hotel also gives out sparkly Sesame Street sling bags as gifts. Out of all the hotels I've stayed in recently, this one had the most polite front desk staff. There's also an ice machine downstairs.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! The family room is really spacious; even with four beds, it didn't feel cramped at all. It's only about 200 meters from USJ, and there's a Sushiro right next door. It was perfect – we'd finish at USJ, grab a number at Sushiro, go back to the room to drop off our stuff, and then head down to eat. The timing was just right! 👍🏻

Excellent location, and the prices have been really good lately. Plus, you get discounts at nearby restaurants when you show the small gift you received at check-in.
