First room we got had an awful odor. As a pregnant woman I couldn’t handle it so my husband went to talk to the front desk and they were more than accommodating. They switched us rooms right away and upgraded us. GREAT STAFF!
Yes Breakfast was amazing My stay at Hotel Universal Port was excellent and truly family-friendly. The hotel is immaculately clean, spacious by Japanese standards, and thoughtfully designed with fun themed décor. Staff were consistently courteous and efficient, making check-in and assistance seamless. Its prime location near Universal Studios Japan makes it a highly convenient and enjoyable choice for travellers.
Good view, nice and helpful staff, room is good too. We enjoyed our stay very much. BTW, highly recommend their buffet breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was really clean, much bigger than others I stayed at. Universal Studios was across the street a short walk away. Universal city walk was the same distance and many food options nearby. The staff was absolutely amazing, friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.
Room was clean as expected of most Japanese establishments.
Staff was as friendly and accommodating as possible.
The provided buffet was very delicious.
The only knock is that the rooms are outdated. Regardless, clean room, hot showers and a bed by a bayside window is enough for any traveler.
