We stayed at the hardrock 2 nights and really enjoyed it. Easy to get to Universal. Clean and nice rooms. The only complaint was slow service at the pool. (could be the time we went November) More

My family and I just got back from a fantastic weekend at Universal Orlando. We stayed in a garden view room on the 6th floor of the Hard Rock Hotel.Check in was quick and easy, and all of the staff were friendly and helpful the entire time of our stay. The room was a nice size with comfortable beds. We... More

Ive stayed at this hotel 3 times now (2008, 2009 and 2011) and think its starting to lose a bit of its edge. 2009 and 2009 I was blown away by this place but I think they have suffered from not keeping up the high standards you should expect from the prices they charge. Last visit the towels had holes... More

Just returned from five days at the Hard Rock at Universal, and can't say enough good things about our stay. We were two families, totaling 3 adults and 3 children. Hotel is about 25 min from the airport. We rented a minivan, because we also did a day trip to Legoland (another review, but a great time). Upon arrival at... More

Total buzz, from arrival and best valet service possible to cool rooms, superb lobby, brilliant Velvet Bar and the greatest pool. Everything is absolutely brilliant. Top tip hire a cabana for a day by the pool it is the ultimate decadence! More

Stayed here in April 2011. Great time to go as wasn't so busy and weather still great. The rooms were nice and clean, perhaps a little small. We had 2 double beds and four people (2 adults and 2 children) so could be a little cramped. The service around the pool was excellent - waiters/waitresses walking around and constantly checking...

I was a little scared about this property after reading some reviews of cockroaches (I live in absolute terror of cockroaches!!), but we had a lovely stay here. The hotel was lovely and access to the parks was very convenient. Furthermore the rooms were clean and service was prompt. The only reason I didn't give the property 5 stars is:... More

Our family stayed at the Hard Rock Orlando the week before Thanksgiving and had one of the most memorable family vacations yet. We are experienced travelers. We've stayed at All Inclusives, 5 * hotels, and Super 8's...and everything in between. This Hotel has everything you could ask for. Yes, it's more pricey than most (drinks and food are expensive, but... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for my birthday recently and can honestly say that we really had a great time. We chose this hotel because of its links with Universal Studios,and the early access to the Harry Potter rides. It did not let us down and although it may be expensive the service we received was superb. From the... More
