Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent
"I initially had a poor impression of the hotel due to slow internet but it turned out to be temporary. The staff was very responsive and the hotel clean and very quiet. Because the hotel is in an entertainment area, restaurants tend to be expensive but there is a building across the main street in front of the hotel that has dozens of restaurants offering varied and affordable fare. My experience of the hotel and its location (within walking distance of Osaka station and major department stores ) was overall excellent."

"Phenomenal views of Kobe Port from the balcony and the night views are absolutely stunning. We took the West view facing the ferris wheel and enjoyed all the light shows in the evening. The hotel is a bit dated but no complaints at all. The free shuttle bus from Sannomiya station is super convenient. There is also a Family Mart within the hotel (closes at 11pm). The location is prime as it's a 3 minute walk to the Kobe Port Tower."
