The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

An official Universal Studios Japan hotel about a minute from the park and CityWalk. Rooms for four rely on two twin beds plus extra beds, or bunk beds on higher floors. Akala Buffet Dining serves Japanese and Western food all day, which saves a trip out after the park.

Best room for four

Deluxe Room Bunk Bed, superior floors. Bunks give two children their own space in a room rated for 4–5.

Good for

Families whose whole trip is built around USJ, including those with babies.

Think twice if

No pool, and the room-for-four layout uses extra beds rather than four full beds; little beyond the park nearby.
