THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE

10/10 Excellent

"This is a unique hotel without a front desk, but it didn't stop us from having a smooth experience. They we're able to accommodate our early arrival through electronic communications in advance. The lobby portals are easy to use and the rooms functioned great. Having a washing machine helped us pack fewer clothes. The train station is about 10 minutes away on foot and super easy to navigate for beginners."

Lucky Sun

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Great price for the kind of room you get. Only complaint is that you dont have a room key and you have to call the front desk every time you want to leave the room. Very weird system that I've seen in some love hotels but this one is extra weird. Never been fully locked into the room before. My rooms wifi also just randomly shut off and wouldnt turn back on. But thats probably not the hotels fault. Other than that, great bathroom with lots of space. Room has lots of space with lots of functions on the TV. Good midpoint between Kobe and Osaka with a station 3 minutes away. Staff was wonderful, cheerful, and helpful, even with my poor japanese. Check in and check out was very convenient."
