Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka
Loved our stay in this hotel, very clean, has heaps of amenities, breakfast selection was great and the onsen with steam room is the best! The male one has a dry sauna which obviously we couldn't try :). Overall very happy and would definitely stay again in the future!

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
It was an excellent place to stay as it is convenient to go to the other place we plan to go. Mostly require only 30min travelling time, even to Universal Studio Japan. The room is reasonable bigger than other hotels, clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama
The hotel itself was very clean! The staff were nice and the room was big compared to others we stayed in. Bathroom was spacious and the beds were nice! We did not like that this was the only hotel that charged us a nightly tax but outside of that I don’t really have many complaints. It is VERY close ...
