Hotel Monterey La Soeur Osaka - Osaka

Great western size room and great location for the price. I would stay here again for sure. Big rooms for a family. Very nicely located from the train stations. Very clean and good service.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a very nice hotel, with slightly larger rooms than the typical Japanese hotel. The decor is nice and the room was simple and chic. Really loved the decor. My only complaint is the room we had was VERY DARK even during daylight and we had a view of the buildings roof or something... The location is right off the station and is very convenient. […] There is a Daiei store also connected to the walkway which can take you from the station to the hotel or turn the opposite direction and you will go to Daiei where you can buy groceries, necessities, etc. I would stay at this hotel again, but would ask for a better located room.

Great location near the Osaka Castle, clean room, helpful hotel employees. We will for sure to stay this hotel next time we visit Osaka.

We stayed one night in a triple room. There were two standard beds and a third bed that seemed more temporary. It was more than fine for one of my kids. The staff had already setup a crib for my baby before we arrived. The room was spacious for Japanese standards and had a nice view over part of osaka. He room and hotel were very clean and the beds […] were comfortable. It is close to osaka castle which has a huge park surrounding it. There are a few convenience stores and food options very close. Only small issue is that the staff did not ask if we had parked at the hotel. If I had not asked just before leaving, it would have been very expensive to park without the hotel rate. Read more

It's clean business hotel, but it's a bit small for me.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was a bargain, and I got a free upgrade at check-in which was really nice. The location is close to Kyobashi station, and it feels like a 4-star hotel. Room was clean and roomy, nice high-rise view, and of course there was the indoor chapel on the roof.

We were very pleased with this hotel. We had a triple room, which was nicely furnished. The front desk staff was great. There's an above street walk way from the hotel lobby to the train and subway stations. Plenty of places to eat right around it and several convenience stores. The room was a bit small, but my understanding is that is normal for Japanese […] hotels. Read more

Nice place, not everything in English, but ok. Good staff. One PC in lobby, 100yen per 10-minutes. Close to train station with skywalk to hotel and mall.

Hotel is close to train station. Service is better than anything we experienced in Tokyo. Free wifi and ice. Staff speaks good english and go out of their way to be helpful. Hotel is close to Osaka Castle and shopping. Next time we go back to Japan we are staying at this hotel!

Loved everything about this hotel! spa was fantastic!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Just few minutes walk from the Osaka castle. You need to ride the loop line if you want to get to Umeda or Numba (downtown area). There is a big store (like Wal-Mart) at Kyobasi station. The hotel is clean and staff is very nice. The lounge at the spa is very relaxing at evening.

Good location, room size good, comfortable bed... Restaurants around, good breakfast at walking distance, helpful staff

Genuine Expedia guest review

We're satisfied with Hotel Monterey La Soeur Osaka. The location was great in 10 mins walking distance from JR Kyobashi station. There was a departmentstore Daiei next to the station where we usually boughy some food/snakcs/drinks back to the hotel. A small ramen restaurant in Daiei was great and not expensive (~700 yen per set of Ramen, Gyoza and fried […] rice). It's also close to Osaka castle within 15-20 mins walk and 10 mins train from JR Kyobashi to JR Shin Osaka where we hopped to Shinkansen to Hiroshima and Tokyo. We noticed that we travelled in the opposite direction from the office workers to JR station. The room was larger than we thought as we expected a tiny-standard Japanese room. Front desk service was really helpful. We came in with the early flight arriving KIX 6am. We're at the hotel before 9am and left the luggages, then headed out to Osaka castle and Nara for a day trip.

This was the 3rd different hotel me and my wife stayed in while in Japan. It was, honestly, my favorite. It's walking distance to a train that leads you to the city center, it's walking distance to Osaka Castle, there's a number of places for food and coffee (though mostly chains) in the area but it's not a "crazy" area. Mostly a business location, […] but convenient enough. Free internet in the room (wired, bring a wireless router if you want to use wifi) which is sweet. Much better priced then many places in the area. Not much of a view, room was a little small but not the smallest I've been to in Japan. Very clean room and enough power outlets for me and the wife to charge junk. Overall I loved it. Simple, convenient, well priced. Read more

nice view

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. On the day of checkout, they kept our luggage in storage so that we could go to the castle since our flight didn't leave until 5:30 that evening. The bed and pillows were very hard so if you don't mind a hard bed and pillows then I recommend this hotel. It is very convenient to the JR WEST line which […] was good since this hotel is located in the business district and not a tourist district. Read more

Great deal for the price. Nice business hotel located near Osaka castle. Not that close to main entertainment areas, but subways make everything close and convienent.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Convenient to Kyobashi Station and all trains, with a mall attached and many restaurant choices, this hotel makes a great location to take in the sights of Osaka. Osaka Castle is a short 5-minute walk away. They also have a lovely spa with reasonable rates. The staff are proficient in English, and very helpful.

The hotel is at the Kyobashi JR station, right in the Osaka Loop, so it's very easy to get to nearby cities, such as Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, etc. At the Kyobashi JR station, take the West exit, which connects you to the covered bridge that leads directly to the hotel. The Family Mart located downstairs of the hotel has very nice food and drink selections. […] The room is not very big, but very comfortable and extremely clean. We were very glad we picked this hotel. Read more

Very decent hotel for a very decent price (got the hotels.com 50% sale price). Very satisfy with the rooms we got, they gave us to the top floor with a very nice nite view of the city. The hotel is conveniently located next to the JR station, which is also close to the Osaka castle (walkable distance - 15 mins). Overall, very satisfied with the price […] we paid! Read more

Great Hotel for the money. The attaced, via covered walk way, shops and train station was a big plus. It is also withn walking distance of the Osaka Castel Getting to the hotel from the airport is best done via the airport bus line and and taxi combined. Just ask at the travel information counter on the baggage claim level in the airport.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The La Soeur is a lovely hotel, connected to a train station (via covered walkways) and near a large grocery store. It is within walking distance to Osaka Castle. The rooms are small by western standards, but clean and comfortable. The art deco theme in the lobby, antiques and art collection are worth notice. This is a great hotel for those looking […] for a base from which to take day trips. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

What I did not like: Could not get a late check out without having to pay approximately $25/hour beyond checkout time of 11:00AM. Our flight departed Osaka at 6:00PM. Made for a long day at the airport, adding to our overseas flight back to the US. In addition, there was a possibility that we would have to leave a day early. But the hotel wanted to […] make us pay for the day anyway. Fortunately we didn't have to leave. They obviously do not care about anything but the money. In all of my travels throughout the US and Europe in the past 45 years of traveling, I have never encountered a hotel that wouldn't accomodate changes, one way or another, and forcing you to pay for those changes. The hotel was nice, but I'll look some place else next time. I only recommend it with this warning: Forget flexibility! You're stuck!!!! Read more

This hotel is the only one i would go out of my way to really recommend during our 2 week vacation (we stayed at 4 different hotels during that time). The reason is that the room that gave us was HUGE, even by US standards. We had three in our party, and the room had three double beds and get this, 1.5 baths! We were on the 20th floor, great views, […] two huge windows. Many may find the location to be out of the way, but i liked the quiet in the morning. Subway station was 1.5 blocks away. Many of the Osaka attractions are only about 10-15 minutes by train. There was a McDOanlds and a starbucks one block away. Bonus: A Daiei supermarket across the bridge (about a 10 minute walk) and many japanese restaurants nearby. Read more

Hotel Okura in Kyoto is one of the most expensive hotels we are staying in this trip. It's well positioned and the room and facilities are pleasant. The staff are absolutely outstanding; the most courteous, friendly and helpful that we have ever experienced in our travels anywhere. I would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. The only negative […] is that, like all the hotels in Japan so far, with the possible exception of CNN in some places, the are no English speaking channels on the TV. Parking at the hotel is free for the first time so far. WiFi in the room and lobby is fast and free. Read more

Better than expected for price obviously not 5 star resort but more than adequate for our needs for a comfy bed for the night

Hotel lobby was warm and welcoming. Staff helpful. Only problem is we needed clearer instructions on how to get to hotel after arriving from the JR station.Would be helpful if told to exit from the west exit. Took us quite a while to ask around and figure out.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was only there for one night, but staff were helpful and the location was ideal for getting to the bits of Osaka we wanted to visit. Also has really good transport connections. Main impression was that it was actually pretty good value for money, considering the location and the quality of the hotel. I doubt we'll be visiting Osaka again any time soon, […] but I'd stay there again. Read more

This was the second time I stayed in this hotel, and it's still as good as last time. Apart from its geographical convenience and reasonable price, I wish to also mention that the staff were very helpful. I was urgently requiring a computer do some work in the middle of the night, and turned to the receptionist for help. I thought I was just wasting […] my time asking but in the end they lent me a laptop and work was done. I would definitely be staying in this hotel again when I next visit. Read more

I have enjoyed my stay in this hotel very much. Though if there is anything to complain about, perhaps it was the fact that check in did not commence until three in the afternoon, which I found a little late. Other than that, I can really recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced room in Osaka.

Good location, Clean rooms, Easy to get to from the Osaka Subway (Osaka Business Park).

This hotel was perfect for our travelling party. There were three single beds in our room, one was rather small but I managed to fit in it fine (6 foot 2 inch). The hotel provided all the amenities in your room that you would require. The staff were friendly enough but most did not speak allot of English. They will generally get someone who speaks better […] english to come and confer with you. This hotel is located in the business park area of Osaka and is very close to the Hiroshima Castle and a JR train station. Read more

This place was everything we expected plus more. Big room friendly staff great location. Under cover walk way for the Rainy days from train station.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The location is convenient, near Kyobashi, a major Railway Station on the Osaka Loop Line. I chose to stay here because the hotel is near Osaka Castle, which was the main reason for my stop-over in Osaka. The entrance to the hotel is fairly impressive, but the room was small and not very clean (dusty areas). The (male) front-desk staff on arrival did […] not seem particularly "welcoming", but the female staff at check-out time were pleasant and polite, as one may expect, and get used to, in Japan.

I stayed for 6 nights and I'm extremely satisfied with the this hotel. I had booked a triple room. The room was bigger than expected, given that Japanese hotels are usually quite small.

Of the 3 hotels we stayed in during our Japan 2012 trip this had more space than any. However it was still small by international standards and the beds are always hard. The location was fantastic, connected to nearby Kyobashi station by a covered walkway. This hotel is fairly new and being part of the new Osaka Business Park has plenty of cafe's/eateries […] handy. It is also a short 5 minute walk from the magnificent Osaka Castle (get a night pic). I's easily stay there again if visiting Osaka. Read more

The foyer and reception area look beautiful- very art deco. However, the rooms are rather basic and more 3 star than 4. I wouldn't wish to stay here again.
