"There is not too many amenities, but I did enjoy the free coffee and wine that you can purchase at the hotel in a little wine machine.The rooms were very nice and the hotel have a grocery store nearby and restaurants nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly worth the splurge. Large rooms, awesome amenities, good location. The onsen was a godsend after walking 20k steps a day. You must be fully naked, and they provide covers for medium and small tattoos. Free ramen at 9 pm was cool, although we only took advantage of it once because we always had dinner right before 9. The tatami floors and being in socks all throughout the property was kinda cool, but sometimes hurts when your feet are hurting from walking so much. The rooms have everything you need, and the little grab & go ice cream was a nice treat. I wish the bed was softer, but I found that all the hotels I stayed in (4) had beds that were too hard for my preference. Hotel staff was super nice and very helpful. My favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at, would highly recommend."

"The place is convenient in namba. The location is a little off the common stations but it is pretty good once you get used to it. I like the hotel and things are new. The breakfast is ok and it does have some interesting Osaka flavors. The staffs are extremely friends and helpful. For example, the phone map does not give a good recommendations to the airport and the staff has recommended an even better path for me going to the airport. The travel is easier and time saving. Overall, I like the hotel and I can stay there again"
