I stayed three nights, and my experience was wonderful! I booked a room with a city view, and it was so pretty! The room was clean and roomier than some of the other hotels I booked while in Japan. I have no complaints :) Safe travels!

This place is amazing. This place was built in 2025, so everything is brand new. It is close enough to Universal Studios Japan, but not in the middle of the large and loud crowds, as well as close enough to get into the other areas of Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto. The breakfast was top notch. I recommend ...

Check in was easy. When we went to our room on 10th floor, the door was left ajar which was odd. The room had 2 double beds and a projector so we could watch Netflix and Disney+. The only source of heat seemed to be a small room heater. We were there Dec.25-28 so definitely needed it. I travelled ...
