Taishi Hotels

"Quite near to transportation, even though it’s on a busy road, you won’t be annoyed by the noise. There’s buffet breakfast provided with Japanese cuisine and western food."

"Perfect location to and from Kansai airport! Easy reach to many restaurants in the area! Check out time is a little early (10am?), most hotel check out is 11am in USA!"

"Our stay at Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka was disappointing and did not match the upscale image shown in its marketing. The room was much smaller than expected based on the listing, and it felt very cramped. Several amenities were poorly designed. The laundry area was essentially the size of a small cupboard, forcing guests to crowd together and wait in line with barely any space to move around. The elevators were also slow and often crowded, making it frustrating to get to and from our room. The beds were extremely hard—easily the most uncomfortable we encountered during our trip—and we woke up with back pain and body aches. The shower was also disappointing. The shower head felt cheap, with poor water dispersion and inconsistent pressure. The temperature controls were extremely sensitive, where even the slightest adjustment could make the water suddenly too hot. Service was also lacking. Staff were not particularly helpful when we needed to exchange money for the laundry machines, and there wasn’t even a coin exchange machine available. On top of that, the hotel charged roughly double what other hotels charged us for luggage transfer services. We stayed at several other hotels during our trip, including three-star properties, and many had better facilities, friendlier service, and better value. Ironically, this was the most expensive hotel we stayed at, yet it offered the least comfortable experience."

"Breakfast buffet wasnt included but was the best i had in Japan! Nice big rooms and a comfy bed"

"convenient location"

"Great location, staff fantastic, view from room fantastic, overall great place to stay. Just not as good as a few other places we stayed in Japan! "

"Perfect location and beautiful room. We were walking distance to everything. The breakfast was amazing and worth adding. The staff was great and we loved the gym. The restaurants and bars had gorgeous views. I would stay here again. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the hot tub was a part of the spa and required a purchase of the spa package to utilize so we didn’t get to put our bathing suits to use. But I probably read the site wrong that’s my fault."

"Great location, short walk to Dotonbori and the Shinsaibashi shopping area. Grocery store located right under the hotel as well as access to the metro. "

"APA hotels are always clean. I have never had an issue. And the staff is always extremely professional and friendly! This particular APA is very close to to so many places in Osaka and super convenient metro stations close by. Highly recommend."
