forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.43 out of 5 (2,256 reviews). Many guests mention that the hotel is close to both Universal Studios Japan and the station, so it is easy to come back even when everyone is worn out from playing. The hot dogs and pancakes in the Welcome Lounge are a hit with children too, and many reviews praise the breakfast buffet. Some guests are also glad of the luggage storage before check-in. On the other hand, one review says that sharing a combined bath-and-toilet unit as a family of 4 was a little inconvenient, so having the toilet and bath in the same room may bother some guests.
