Monterey Properties in Osaka

When we first arrived, we went through the wrong entrance, and the front desk staff came down to meet us. The location is excellent; you just cross a pedestrian bridge outside and you're at the subway station. The service was fantastic. We were even more pleasantly surprised when we entered the room—it's definitely a very spacious room for Japan. We had no problem opening all three of our suitcases. The room facilities are very comprehensive. Every day, housekeeping cleaned the room thoroughly and replenished everything. We will definitely stay at this hotel again next time we visit Osaka.

The hotel's location is truly excellent. We chose this hotel after traveling from Kyoto to Osaka. After getting off at Osaka Station, simply follow the signs for Kitashinchi and walk in that direction. As you approach the end of the passage, you'll eventually spot Exit 43. Take the elevator up, and you'll see a drugstore. The hotel's front desk is on the 2nd floor, accessible via the alleyway to the right of the drugstore. The hotel offers amenities like ice, coffee, a microwave, and a lounge area. They also provide a generous supply of disposable toiletries. It's conveniently located within walking distance of shopping areas. Taking the underground passage is cool and only takes about 5 minutes. Walking above ground might actually be quicker, though it can get a bit hot. For directions to the Kansai Airport Limousine Bus: Exit the hotel, turn left onto the main road, and walk for two blocks. Then, cross the road and continue straight. After you see the Daimaru department store, turn left again. This will lead you to the bus stop for Kansai Airport. The ticket costs 1800 JPY. The location I mentioned is the initial boarding point for the bus.

The location is excellent; Namba Walk is right downstairs, and the airport limousine bus stop is next door. The room is also quite spacious. If I had to pick one inconvenience, it would be the long queue for check-in at 3 PM, which caused a slight delay, but everything else was fine. The staff were very polite, especially the uncle who helped store luggage.

The room itself was decent. Finding it for the first time can be a bit challenging. The hotel lobby is quite small and located on the 8th floor, while the ground floor is a parking lot – just go straight in, don't be put off by the entrance. I didn't get breakfast, so I can't comment on that. I was out early and back late every day, mainly just using the room for sleeping, and for that purpose, it was perfectly adequate. I'm not sure if I missed hanging a sign or what the reason was, but the room was cleaned daily.
