ART HOTEL Osaka Bay Tower
The hotel was nicely situated by two trains. It was not in a neighborhood and there was no concierge to help with restuarant and travel arrangements. Many of the front desk people did not speak English and were not very helpful. That was its only big drawback.

We loved this hotel! The minions theming was so fun and it was in such a handy place for universal and city walk. The rooms were a very generous size for Japan and the check in process was very straightforward. I would really recommend if you’re visiting universal Japan!
