Top Nara Prefecture Hotel Reviews

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."
