This is my hopefully comprehensive overview and review of the Hard Rock Hotel Orlando at Universal Orlando Resort.
Within this review, we'll be covering location, transportation, resort amenities, pool area, room tour, dining (the Palm, the Kitchen), the pros and cons. I'll also be comparing to Universal Orlando's other competing resorts, such as Loews Royal Pacific and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel.

Personally the “full service” hotels can’t be beat at universal, but really it’s worth it if you are a family of 2 or more and plan on getting express pass at the parks this is actually a cheaper option.

We love the Universal Orlando Hotels. As much as I obsess on Disney World, Universal hotels are better, have bigger rooms, better dining options and priced more affordable. Obviously, The Hard Rock Hotel is higher priced but it has amazing perks. The best perk is that Express Pass for the parks. Hard Rock is incredible but I can't say it's my favorite though of the premier Universal hotels. It seems much louder than other premier hotels which is probably expected for what it is. When I think of Hard Rock I think loud music and amped up but I do want some quiet time on vacation sometimes. Great review as always. You do an amazing job covering everything.

Absolutely loved this hotel. We booked for 1 night during our September stay, right before the hurricane. Those 2 days of express passes were invaluable. It wasn’t as pretty or luxurious as Coronado springs, but it was great for the memorabilia, the gym and pool were great. Also the location so close to the parks were definitely an advantage over Disney hotels.

Our favourite hotel - absolutely love it. Great staff, fantastic atmosphere and perfect for the parks.The Kitchen's breakfast buffet is a wonderful start to the day and the pool area and pool bar are great to spend some relaxing hours. The memorabilia throughout is great for a wander and a few photos too. Overall....with the inclusive unlimited Express Pass...unmissable.

Cafe: The cafe inside is NOT a Hard Rock Cafe. This is located in CityWalk (& both shop + cafe are participating locations for Unity Rewards). A stay is, though.

Although way above what I am willing to spend, if I had the budget I wouldn't mind staying here. The restaurants look great, (good on the food pictures, BTW) and the rooms, even the lower priced one, seemed to a little more upscale than some of the other deluxe type resorts you see at theme parks (yes, I am looking at you Disney). Great video.

Have to disagree about it not being kid/family friendly, we were there in Sept and it was full of familys, our kids love it there and made friends around the pool easily. The pool bar has food ideal for kids young and older too, Plus theres an ice cream bar. There was plenty of young kids there in Sept having a great time, the pool is fab for them. We had just come from a Disney hotel and our kids 10 and 5 liked that hotel just as much and have requested it again when we go back.

Had three nights at the Hard Rock last week with family. Thought it was an amazing hotel. Beautifully maintained grounds, swimming pool. Standard twin queen room was clean and well presented. Proximity to parks was the clincher though. It’s a five min walk to universal studios/city walk/islands of adventure.
