Had to call an engineer as light fittings in the bathroom were hanging down and lights flickering. Sprinkler was just fitted as a hole in the ceiling. Tv would not work (couldn’t even switch it off). The sound of children shouting down the corridors first thing in the morning and at night was not appreciated.

Best hotel at universal
The hotel was fantastic, as soon as you walk into the lobby area there is a lovely smell. The area is beautiful with a view of the pool, there is a huge tv screen to the side with seating area where they play music videos. The lobby toilets had a seating area in them with a separate make up area too. The room (7th floor rock royalty king size ) was incredible. The bed is the biggest I’ve seen, and the pull out sofa bed is easily a double size. There are coffee/tea facilities with shower over bath, all lovely. Being on the 7th floor meant you had access to the private lounge which served breakfast and snacks throughout the day with drinks reception in the evening. The pool area is lovely, we only went at night as only stayed one night for the express passes, however, they play music through the speakers underwater and play films in the evening too. Nice bar and restaurant area although we didn’t order anything during our stay. We’ll definitely be back!

Great hotel in an amazing location
We stayed here for two nights with our two children and it was fabulous. We made the most of express passes and early entry to enjoy the parks butoves being able to pop back and use the gorgeous pool. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommended.

Not worth the extortionate price tag. RUDE STAFF
My daughter’s clothes, room pass card, and money were stolen from her sun lounger. Bearing in mind there were no sign posted lockers or any visible. You need to take your room key with you as it gives you access into the pool area. 3 members of staff I spoke to about helping me locate it and none were helpful at all. In fact the manger was down right rude. The guy on reception when I went back the following morning to see if the items had been handed in said. “ you know times are hard nowadays. People will take opportunity’s to take stuff, you win some you lose some “. Absolutely disgusting!! Bearing in mind she had just spent $27 on the lanyard and holder to hold her pass as you need the room key card to access all your park extras so not only did she lose her belongings and her money she lost them I eh she also spent on the items. I will not stay here again. The hotel is beautiful but if you look closer the carpets are stained and dirty.

Tired and poor service
The hotel staff were not the friendliest, even to get basic service out of them you had to tip. The room was never cleaned before 5pm despite us asking for earlier cleaning and we agreed late check out but a maid came knocking to remove us from the room at 11am. Second time staying disappointing to see standards slipping- if it weren’t for the staff express passes we wouldn’t stay again

4/10 Fair

We usually love our stay at Hard Rock but this was a little disappointing. We requested a quiet room, however we were put in a room directly above the big air conditioning units which ran all night. We could sleep with ear plugs in, so didnt request to move but having requested a quiet room we were a little surprised! The room itself was also a bit tired looking and shabby which again is unusual for Hard Rock.
