Hotel Kintetsu Universal City

6-2-68, Shimaya, Konohana-ku

  • Easy access

  • I would definitely recommend Hotel Kintetsu Universal City. It's one of the more budget-friendly official USJ hotels, and its location is unbeatable—the park is literally right in front of you. They offer a delicious buffet with a wide variety of choices, so I'm sure the kids will be very happy with the food. It's an extremely popular choice for families, so it comes highly recommended.

La'gent Hotel Osaka Bay

1-1-57 Sakurajima, Konohana-ku

  • Reasonably priced

  • If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, consider this hotel. It's just a 4-minute walk from Sakurajima Station (the next stop after Universal City) and offers affordable single rooms. The walk to the USJ park entrance is only about 10 minutes. A great way to save money is to eat at the restaurants in Universal CityWalk and book a stay without meals. It's a very economical strategy.

Hotel New Hankyu Osaka

1-1-35, Shibata, Kita-Ku

  • Directly connected to Umeda Station

  • Want a smart way to save on your USJ trip? Consider this budget-friendly hotel. It's not right at the main station, but just a 4-minute walk from Sakurajima Station (the very next stop). You can still easily walk to USJ in about 10 minutes. The real money-saving hack is to book the room without meals and eat at Universal CityWalk instead. This makes your whole trip much more economical.

Hotel Universal Port

1-1-111 Sakurajima Konohana-ku

  • Comfortable

  • This hotel offers excellent access to the park and boasts a wide variety of room types and stay packages. This makes it an incredibly versatile hotel that can cater to all sorts of needs. But it's not just about fun and convenience; they also pay close attention to the fundamentals. The rooms are immaculately clean, the beds are comfortable for a great night's sleep, and the amenities are well-stocked, which is why I highly recommend it for a family stay.

Hiyori Hotel Osaka SuminoeKoen Station

1-2-1 Shinkitajima, Suminoe-ku

  • There is a direct bus

  • Here’s a smart hotel choice for visiting USJ that many people overlook. It's located right in front of Suminoe Park Station on the Yotsubashi subway line. Now, while it's not a super-budget hotel, the price is very reasonable, and here's the secret weapon: the hotel is in a commercial complex called Oscar Dream, which has a bus terminal on the first floor with a direct bus straight to USJ. I think the access is unbeatable for the price. Add in clean rooms and a delicious breakfast buffet, and it’s an easy recommendation.

Hotel A.P

2-12-27 Hotarugaike, Nishi-machi, Toyonaka

  • Cheap and convenient

  • This hotel is a fantastic choice for families visiting Universal Studios Japan. It takes the stress out of getting to the park by offering a complimentary shuttle bus service. You can relax knowing the entire hotel, from the common areas to the guest rooms, is spotlessly clean. Considering all this, it's offered at a very reasonable price, making it a highly recommended option for any family trip.

Sunny Stone Hotel

10-3 Hiroshibacho,Suita-city

  • It's just a short walk from the station.

  • The location of this hotel is its biggest selling point: you're literally a one-minute walk from Esaka subway station. The neighborhood is also great, with plenty of food options and a supermarket right there, which is super convenient. The hotel itself is a solid, no-fuss option; it has all the basic amenities you need and is very reasonably priced. A great find for a convenient stay.

Toyoko Inn Osaka JR Noda Ekimae

2-2-2,Yoshino Fukushima-ku

  • Convenient location if you use JR

  • If you'll be using the JR lines, I think a hotel near Noda Station on the Osaka Loop Line is a great strategic base. It offers convenient access to both USJ and the Kita downtown area (around Umeda). Specifically, I recommend the Toyoko Inn Osaka JR Noda Ekimae. As it's part of a reliable national chain, you can count on it being reasonably priced, secure, and clean. I'm confident you'll have a very satisfying stay.

J-Hoppers Osaka Universal

Shimaya 3-10-12,Konohana-Ku

  • Walking distance to USJ

  • If you're looking for a super budget-friendly stay, I highly recommend the guesthouse J-Hoppers Osaka Universal. While it's a guesthouse, it's in a fantastic location within walking distance of USJ, yet the rates are incredibly reasonable. A huge bonus for those with children is the dedicated kids' play area, which they'll love. The nearest station is JR Ajikawaguchi.

The Day Osaka - Formerly Hotel Lodge Maishima

2-3-75 Hokuko Ryokuchi, Konohana-ku

  • Japanese-style rooms and quadruple rooms available

  • If you're driving to Universal Studios Japan, here’s a smart strategy: I recommend staying at a hotel a short drive away to get a much better deal. This particular inn is a perfect example. It's only an 8-minute drive to USJ, which I think is a very reasonable distance. In return for that short drive, you get to choose from options like Japanese-style rooms or rooms for four people, all at a lower price. They also have paid parking on-site.

Super Hotel Umeda-Higobashi

1-20-1, Edobori, Nishi-ku

  • Cost performance

  • When you talk about popular hotels in Japan known for their excellent value, the nationwide chain Super Hotel always comes to mind. This particular branch, located near Higobashi Station, is a fantastic choice because it offers effortless access to Universal Studios Japan. On top of that, it's also a very convenient base for exploring other tourist spots throughout Osaka.

Simple Heart Hotel Osaka

  • Simple Heart Hotel Osaka

  • I recommend Simple Heart Hotel Osaka; it's a fantastic, worry-free choice for families. The hotel is very clean and affordable, and a huge plus is the complimentary breakfast served from 6 AM to 9 AM. It's conveniently located near Ajikawaguchi Station, just one train stop from Universal City Station, and you'll find it's a popular spot for other USJ visitors too. It's a place where families can stay with complete peace of mind.
