"Great spot for staying a night or two directly in the Nara Park. This allowed us to get up early and have basically the whole park to ourselves before the tourist groups arrive. Would definititely recommend it!
The room was nice and clean, the staff was friendly and the location was perfect."
"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, took us a bit to find it but that was only because we had to figure out the labyrinth of tunnels from the train station. Appreciated the fact that it had laundry facilities. "
"Given the price, this is a great place to stay, breakfast is good, location is terrific! Close to the train station, close to many of the main Osaka attractions, close to where most day tours depart, close to food, clubs, bars and anything you may need. The only minor thing I didn't give 5 stars for conditions and facilities is that the bed and pillow were a little too hard, I understand this is kind of a budget stay but if these could be changed for a softer mattress and pillow, this would be by far the best place to stay in the area."
"The hotel was lovely, the room was a nice size and the buffet breakfast was great. The most exciting part is the convenience to the metro station. It was right at the top of the stairs, which made it extremely convenient to get to any destination in or around Osaka. I highly recommend this hotel!"
"I love staying APA chain hotels. The staff is always friendly and the rooms are always clean. They provide many amenities, I especially love the spa. They also have a quick way to check in and out. I will stay in this chain every time I go to Japan. =) They made my experience in Japan so much better! Thank you APA hotel!"
"Amazing room and so spacious for Japan. Very easy to walk down the road and jump on the train to get to all the locations we needed to.
Very simple check-in and check-out process which is great."
"Enjoyed our time at this property as it had everything along with all of the amenities. As a family of 5 the late night ramen from 9 to 10pm was a hit! I was able to use the onsen 2 times during our 6 night stay (got back too late from universal and expo) and found it good. One large pool along with a small cold pool. Best time to go was during the ramen experience as there was little to know people in the onsen at that time. Hotel provided all of the toiletries that were needed (towels, comb, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner and body wash). Hotel also provided next day transfer services to our next location (Hakone) and the prices were quite reasonable. "
