Hotel Monterey Osaka - Osaka

Within 5 minute walk of Osaka and Umeda stations. A lot of restaurants within ~15 minutes or less. Great value compared to prices of area hotels.

Stylish, comfortable room with adequate space for Japan. Would definitely stay again especially since price was reasonable for this level of hotel. Area has French pastry shops (great for breakfast).Level of English of the staff not very good so had to figure out logisitics of touring by ourselves.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice, older hotel. Excellent French restaurant, resaonable for lunch. Very convenient to train station once you find the hotel. Staff have limited English skills.

The hotel has a good location, the room is very clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was very cozy and clean and I loved it, it's kind of European style but I enjoyed it. I only think some people might not like the quaint style and walls in our room didn't have spanking new paint but everything was really clean and organized. The staff was wonderful, really friendly and helpful and I had a fantastic time there! Oh, the fridge […] was great as well, it was ours to use-they included some water but you could take it out and fill it with your own items...no charge for removing items like in some hotels. Lovely!

This is a quirky hotel, seems to be mostly catering to local wedding trade. It is made like a European castle, complete with a stone wedding chapel in a atrium on the 8th (!) floor. Staff has little English, pricing policy seems quite variable. There are few conveniences for business travelers and the closest are in JR Osaka train station a few blocks […] away. Western breakfast is available, but not stellar and, of course, overpriced. There is a Starbucks 50m. away across a plaza, though they do not open very early. Better choices in the area for a Western business person are the Hilton or Ritz Carlton, though more expensive. In a similar price range is the Hotel Vista Premio Dojima. Nice modern little hotel located near many amenities. Also has a great little jazz club on the ground floor. Read more

I had to stop at Osaka to go to a consulate on the way back from an overseas trip and had a lot of work to do on the Internet. I chose the room just for its comfort and free Internet access but it didn't work at all (yes, I used the LAN cable). The staff person was ice-cold when I tried to explain it and didn't believe I hadn't used the LAN cable. Yes, […] I used the LAN cable! I was devastated. The inconvenience this caused me can't even be fathomed. Not one apology from the staff. Unbelievable. I would stay here again though, as it is a charming hotel otherwise. You just can't expect to get online or else you need to allow a lot of time for getting the Internet fixed. Read more

This hotel is within walking distance of Osaka Station; however, you need to have a map to find it because it is not on a main street. My smart phone's GPS was not precise enough to guide me from the station to the hotel and, when I called the hotel, they had difficulty giving me directions. So either locate it on a detailed map or take a taxi! As others […] have noted, the rooms are quite small, similar to a cruise ship cabin, but mine was clean and had a nice bathroom. My room overlooked the train tracks, which was disappointing, and I thought it would lead to a noise problem at night, but the thick shutters on the windows worked well to keep the sound out. The buffet breakfast was expansive (and a bit expensive) with a big variety of Japanese and Western food that was of good quality. I would recommend this hotel, but try to negotiate for a larger room, which I found out from a Japanese colleague you can do, but this was after I had already checked in. Read more

Great experience. Clean, great design, a place to stay for many nights.

Our experience is great. The staff is very helpful, especially a young man named Takada. He is very fluent in English, gave us help with setting up our Internet access and has great humor. We would stay there again.

Everything about this hotel was excellent--it was clean, comfortable, and beautiful. Only two small problems: 1) we stayed in a 3-person room which we booked online with hotels.com, and the room we received was clearly a two person room (two twin beds) with an additional bed crammed into the otherwise spacious (for Japan standards) room. The room itself […] was gorgeously decorated and clean, but we had hoped that booking a 3-person room would mean a slightly larger-than-normal room. 2) the location was great, very close to the main Osaka train station, but like everything in Japanese cities, you must walk. We confirmed the location with the help of an online map of course, but it was a bit of a walk from the station out the Sakurabashi Exit and down a long corridor of shops from there. No problem for Japanese, but some members of our party were not accustomed to the walking, especially with luggage. Taking a taxi was an option, but seemed a waste considering the short distance (for taxis) and expensive cost. The small wedding chapel in an open-air courtyard on the 6th floor (rooms were located above that with windows facing the courtyard) was beautiful and we even randomly saw a wedding party on the weekend. I would absolutely stay there again and would recommend it without hesitation to others. Read more

Older style hotel; funky elevator. Very convenient to Sakurabashi gate of Umeda Station and Herbis Bus station.

I have stayed at the Monterey before and remember it much more fondly than my experience this time. Perhaps because I booked a single or a discounted rate, I got a room that was barely adequate. The service seemed perfunctory. I did not get a good feel this time and will not return.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We needed a good hotel to stay at close to the JR rail station. This was perfect! It was clean, easy to find and charming. There's a full-size church on the 8th floor - crazy? The room was clean, the beds were comfy and everything was pretty easy overall. Thumbs up!

Genuine Expedia guest review

First time in Osaka, I was glad that I choose this hotel is very close to Osaka JR station.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is just walking distance to the train station. The front desk people are very helpful and pleasant. The hotel room is clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The elevators, rooms, and decor of the entire hotel remind one of a mid twentieth century New York hotel. The standard room itself is small and the features resemble a typical Japanese "business" hotel, with the exception of the bathroom, which has a deep (Japanese style) and long (Western style) tub with the Nuevo trimmings on the faucets, as well […] as a Japanese "washlet" style toilet.

Montery Osaka is conveniently located 5 minutes away from JR Osaka station. There are hundreds of restaurants near by.

Great hotel. Staff was friendly, excellent English, very helpful and accommodating. Not a great area for nightl;ife, but close to main station, so convenient for travellers. Rooms are small, but not overly so. Highly recommended. Great value.

room was so small, unbelievable. checking out time was 11am, so I asked to change to noon, but they required &10 more for extra one hour. really small. every american might complain to this hotel for small room space. they delivered Japanese news paper to my door even I am not good at reading Japanese language. they knew I am American for I checked […] in showing US passport.

This hotel is clean with many comforts, no need to over-pack toiletries, all is available. Staff helpful with day-planning. Convenient to subway and JR station on the Osaka loop line (all major attractions) and the airport bus. There is also a Starbucks next door! Milk is not a standard item, but easily purchased at a vending machine/convenience store […] in the rail station. Broadband available, rent laptop from reception (no email cafe nearby). Read more

The building is architecturally significant (at least compared with most modern hotels in Japan) and it retains old charm inside, while being also impeccably modernized. The service is extremely high quality even by Japanese standards. The location 5 minutes walk from the all-important Umeda (Osaka) railway and subway terminal and the surrounding restaurants […] and shopping makes it real value for money. The only drawback is that rooms are really small - but it is hard to expect more room size given the location. The Japanese restaurant in the hotel was also very good quality. There is also a French restaurant but we didn't try it. Overall very highly recommended. Read more

The hotel is right in the thick of things, but it's somewhat hard to find. When I asked for directions no one ever told me the same way twice. lol. I needed the hotel business card and map so cab drivers could take me back to the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotels facilities are good, but its location is not close to downtown.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Monterey Osaka is a little past its prime. I'm told the Japanese like it and I think they like the "elegance" and sort of southwestern Spanish look for weddings. But for an overnight stay you can do better for the price in Osaka. I was there because my previous hotel, which I liked a lot, was booked up. And when I returned to Osaka I went to another […] hotel. Read more

This hotel was very nice and I belive a good value for the money. Very quite and comfortable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were on a high floor with a great view. Other than the Aeon plaza, about 10 minutes walk, there wasn't much else to see within walking distance, but we chose this hotel because of our flight the following day. The free airport shuttle was a good service, though at restricted times. Overall we noticed during our time travelling in Japan that all hotels […] are very strict about check-in time starting at 3pm and not a minute before. Even if the room is available, they will still not let you in bfore 3p.m.! Read more

The location was really good and you could walk quickly to the train station and restaurants. Also a few good entertainment areas around the station. The hotel was a more classic style but in new condition, had all the extras to make the room nice like a air purifier and humidifier.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is a bit outdated and the room is quite tight but very clean. Front desk staff don't seem to know much english and power plug converter isn't available for loan like all the other hotels i've been to, however the hotel location is super convenient. Only a short walk to the Umeda subway station, shops and food places. Other train stations are […] also easily accessible by foot. We were travelling with a 1.5 year old baby and we find it super easy to get around from the hotel. Highly recommended! Read more

Great location - only a couple of minutes from Osaka Station, near shops and restaurants. The hotel is a bit old and our room was small. But, it's not a bad choice if you want to be close to public transport and amenities.

the room is v small but as i went there during the golden week, i have limited hotel selection that are available.and also the sad thing is there is no free wifi, only free LAN internet

We stayed 6 days and fehlt very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and provided even extra support. It's a rare case to find a hotel those days, where you can open the windows, here you have it! In the basement there is a convenient store that's more then useful for out of time snacks. The computer rental in the house is uncomplicated and provides […] a fast computer, 10$ for 24 hours only. Actually, the buses from both Osaka airports park within short walking distance . but the best is yet to mention: The mattresses of the room are excellent, we slept so well! Read more
