"Lovely breakfast with lots of choices. We also appreciated the airport shuttle after a late flight and a return trip the next day. The convenience store was very handy on the 2nd floor."

Odysis Suites Osaka Airport Hotel
"Room is quite spacious for what it is but don’t expect anything fancy. This is a convenient place for layover, that’s it. No extra. It is a station away from the airport. That’s the main selling point. Actually, it’s the only selling point."

HOTEL UNIVERSAL PORT VITA
"The hotel is very clean and friendly staff. Unfortunately the beds are the most uncomfortable. Super hard and the pillows are so hard. That was the only problem. If you use the laundry room. The dryers take very long to dry."

Hotel Keihan Universal Tower
"Totally overpriced, staff look like they don’t really care, rooms need to be refurbished urgently. Parking the most expensive I’ve come across at ¥3,500. Dinner buffet was good but options limited. I won’t stay again."
