We stayed there for 3 days 2 nights as a base to explore Kyoto, Nara and Universal Studios because it was cheaper here than Kyoto, and Nara was too small as a base. It was a decent distance to the Osaka station but it didn't really feel that far because you go through a tunnel of eateries with a mall... More

We stayed three nights at Hotel Monterey in Osaka, and the rooms are great, the hotel has an excellent location beside the JR lines. If you are traveling with a JR pass this is a great location. Ask the concierge for information you may need.

We spent two nights in a triple room that was made a triple by introducing a rollaway. It made the room very tight, but manageable. We had a view of the stone chapel built into the center of the complex (apparently it's very popular with Japanese girls who like Christian-style weddings with the white dress and the church setting). We... More

I like the location of the hotel though some others say it is too quiet, next to the hotel there are hearton, ritz carlton, hilton... Shopping mall hilton plaza, breeze breeze are very closed. To reach here from airport is convenient as the limousine stop is at Herbis just a block from the hotel or by JR to the Osaka... More

This hotel is located in nice place because it's close to many train station, especially, JR Osaka station. we decided to choose this hotel because of it. We planned to catch a very early train from JR Osaka station. Before I went there, I'd searched on google map to see how far from the JR Osaka station and I took... More

Was our second time to Osaka & Kyoto- this time was to see maple leaves. This hotel is conveniently located, near the JR station & the subway Umeda station, and traveling to Kyoto, Kobe, Uji takes less than an hour and the subway station is right around the corner. If you take the subway, you can just walk through the... More

The location of this hotel is excellent if you need to be close to the Osaka JR station and the building itself is very interesting but overall we were left feeling underwhelmed by our stay here. Our room was tiny and very dirty, the walls were covered in black marks, the carpet was heavily soiled and the bathtub wasn't cleaned... More

This hotel is located next to the JR Osaka Station, and is incredibly convenient for that reason. It is better than your typical business hotel, and seems to cater to weddings. I have always found deals for 2-night stays by searching for discounts on the various booking websites. Other reviewers have noted it is somewhat difficult to find coming from... More

I stayed here for one night in December 2012 after spending 3 nights at the Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka. A mistake on our behalf led to us having to check in here for one night after some confusion with our booking. Compared with the Grasmere (and all other hotels we stayed at during our trip) this was by far the... More
