Hard Rock Hotel is one of my favorite properties in Orlando!!! It’s beautiful and staff is beyond friendly!!! The only thing I was unhappy with, was the cleaning, it was not so good. And they need to change there pillow to better quality pillows. Softer!

Ivone

United States of America

The staff was great! Very helpful and always had a smile!

Kristin

United States of America

The best thing about this hotel is the location and the express pass. The pool is great after a full day walking around universal and they have a nice brunch on Sundays.

Celine

United States of America

From the moment we checked in, our experience was top notch. The room was clean, comfortable and cool and only a 5-7 minute walk to Universal Studios. Every hotel staff member we connected with was kind and made sure we had everything we needed. And the pool area...OMG. So nice and super fun. Unlimited Express Passes were included in our stay, so if value is a concern for you- look no further! They allow you to pre-check in as early as 7am so you can get your passes and head to the parks! We had to make a change in our reservation due to Hurricane Dorian and the hotel accomodated our needs without question. We will always choose to stay at Hard Rock when we visit Universal going forward.

“Overall an excellent stay. An expensive hotel though.”

Pool was disappointing because it was shallow throughout. It would have been nice to have had some deeper sections. Room service was very early in the morning and since we had late nights at Halloween Horror Nights during our stay this was inconvenient. Check in was noisy as they had construction in a nearby area and was not the best first impression of the hotel. We booked an Uber and left our car on International Drive because of the insane parking charges. I find it very odd that a hotel should charge it's guests to park their cars on a daily basis. I feel that you would encourage more business if you provided free parking.
Rooms were superb, the hotel was clean and within walking distance of theme parks.Excellent architecture of the hotel and great decor and memorabilia throughout.

We had booked for our 40th Wedding Anniversary, but unfortunately for us, there was building work going on inside the hotel, so you actually couldn’t hear yourself think with the noise of the pneumatic drilling, which went on from 9am to 5pm
The Hard Rock speaks for itself, and is a lovely hotel
