Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

Overall good hotel with a few issues. First off, clean hotel with friendly staff. Amenities/rooms are clean and of good quality. The breakfast buffet was good and I really enjoyed my breakfasts. Good location too. Many restaurants and familymarts close by. One issue that bothered me is that you can access the hotel and your room only via three elevators. During peek hours you may have to wait for a long time. Finally, the noise. I stayed at the 15th floor and the noise from the street was no issue. However, for two nights I was woken up by the noise coming from upstairs. I ended up sleeping with earplugs.

We stayed there because we needed 3 beds in a room. Our son graduated the college in Tokyo and traveled together as family. We wanted to visit Osaka Castle and see other part of town. It was a very nice hotel and fun location.

It’s my first time to Japan and I stayed at Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka for 4 nights. Everyone from the front desk to room service and room keeping was very friendly and respectful. The hotel also super convenient. Shopping, transportation and restaurant are all around. I am very pleased and has a wonderful time here. I will return very soon with family this time. Very much appreciated all the staffs. Would highly recommend this hotel for your stay if you in Osaka.

Lovely staff. We were able to drop off our luggage before check in. We asked for two rooms close to each other when we arrived a little early. When we checked in they had arranged rooms side by side, this helped our family enormously. Rooms were good size and very clean. Hotel is walking distance from Osaka station, we were misdirected by google maps going through underground area and went to a different station that wasn’t necessary so be aware and try walking above ground unless you know where to go.

Everything is good, value for money, love the underground passage that we can enjoy while walking to the hotel and the exit 11-43 (with escalator) is just right in front of the hotel, super convenient! The room is perfect with large two beds. Public bath is just ok, not spectacular vs other hotels (ie.dormy inn). Public bath is not big (for women, it can contain around 8 persons max) , so highly recommend to avoid the peak hours. Steam room is ok. This is the best hotel in our trip. Highly recommend for family.

Staff cleaning the rooms did an amazing job! Room was always cleaned on time and towels changed. Hotel is near Umeda & Osaka station, making it easier to travel to places like Osaka castle & Dotonbori. Toilet was small but had everything you will need. Staff was polite and pleasant to interact with. Note to those travelling with children or teenagers: some yakiniku restaurants near the hotel do not accept customers below the age of 20.

This is an amazing spot!! Across the street is the famous street with bars and restaurants and shops. Great location for single bar hopping people. We were traveling with kids. It was still a great location with a pharmacy down stairs and a great BBQ place across the Alley, Gozan, you must try this place. The hotel room is bigger than expected and very clean. Definitely recommend this hotel for family and for single travelers.

Very handy to osaka station 10 min walk over ground our under ground family mart supermarket down below hotel loads of bars and restaurants all within walking distance

Great location since it’s near to multiple train stations. Lawson and family mart are right inside the building. Room is clean and decent size. Nice stay!

Super convenient Lawson’s, literally few feet from the hotel - convenient store with yummy bakery items, frozen foods, snacks, drinks, bathroom, microwave, even counter with seating area we always used while we had our breakfast before heading out to explore. Lots of restaurants nearby! Also hotel is located a few feet away from a subway exit/underground passageway that leads directly to Osaka station. The receptionists were super nice, no trouble checking in or out, even left umbrellas in the lobby for the clients to borrow on rainy days. Hotel also has coin laundry and an onsen (which we regrettably didn’t have time to try), but the coin laundry included dryers and was cheap and easy to use, no additional detergent needed. Only downside I can think of are the thinner walls - kids next room over woke us up with their banging every day, and early in the morning. Overall, would recommend if you need a place to stay in Osaka!
