Initially this property was not located where I thought, the property is more in a working industrial area on the water. The area is not loud nor did it hamper our stay, we just accommodated by having to go down an extra station to Universal. Unit was clean & comfortable.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Rise Osaka Universal Bayside. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed to feel at home after a long day exploring Osaka and Universal Studios Japan.
The location was fantastic, especially for anyone visiting Universal Studios Japan. It was incredibly convenient and made getting to and from the park easy. The hotel itself was modern, stylish, and very welcoming.
The bed was comfortable, the room was well maintained, and everything was exactly what I hoped for. After spending the day at USJ, coming back to such a comfortable room was honestly perfect.
The staff were also friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations, and I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Osaka.
Highly recommended, especially if you’re visiting Universal Studios Japan!

I love the property and the location near a local train station that connects to Universal Studio and downtown Osaka. The apartment is larger than any hotel I could have found in the area for the price. I will definitely be using this rental next year when I return to Osaka if it's available during my vacation time.

For anyone planning to visit Universal Studios this place is ideal! Close to a transit station, only 1 stop to Universal or could walk there (15-20 mins walk). Vending machines for drinks and ice cream in the lobby area. Self Check in is done through a tablet, no customer service reps there so be aware that it is unlike a traditional hotel that way. Didn't get a chance to try the hot springs (note that if you have tattoos you cannot enter, and also not allowed to wear a bathing suit). We also really enjoyed the breakfast!
