Hotel Monterey La Soeur Osaka

Although it's a bit of a walk from the station, there's a covered walkway directly connected. It was a good choice to stay here, as it's close to Osaka-jo Hall and Kyobashi Station, and also has a large public bath (hot spring). The room was spacious and comfortable. The convenience store on the first floor was very easy to access directly by the hotel elevator, so I didn't have to walk outside.

I stayed at this hotel in Osaka a few years ago and was really impressed by its convenient location. The front desk staff were just okay, but the room itself was quite spacious. I didn't book breakfast, but there's a convenience store downstairs which was super handy.

I've stayed at Hotel Monterey La Soeur Osaka multiple times before, and I chose it again this time. It was just as wonderful as I remembered.

The breakfast exceeded my expectations; they had my favorite wagyu beef, ice cream, a variety of drinks, fruits, and even snacks that could double as souvenirs. However, the room felt a bit cramped and dated. For instance, there was only one chair and a small table, making it difficult to eat takeout. The TV wasn't mounted on the wall, which made the space feel even narrower. If there was a long sofa by the window, it would prevent guests from having to sit on the bed immediately upon entering the room. During checkout, I realized I had been misled by the hotel package. I thought I needed to purchase a specific bathing package for the hot springs, and that this package didn't include breakfast, requiring me to pay extra for it. In reality, all guests could use the hot springs for free. It took about 2.5 hours on the day of checkout to sort things out with the platform and get a refund for the overpayment. There's a chapel inside the hotel, which would be perfect for newlyweds to hold a reception.

Very clean, the hot spring ryokan was comfortable. I'll choose this hotel again next time.

The entrance was clean, and the staff were friendly. I was also happy with the wide range of amenities, including a selection of shampoos in the public bath. However, it was a shame that the refrigerator in the room was dirty, and personally, I found the bedding to have an unpleasant smell.

Booked this hotel for an event at Osaka Castle Hall! It was super convenient – just a short walk away, close to the station, and there were tons of restaurants nearby. The hot spring was hot, but it had an open-air bath, which was great. It got really crowded after 8 PM, but overall, it was a good experience. I'd definitely stay here again for my next fan event!
