Hotel Monterey La Soeur Osaka

I stayed here to visit the Egypt Exhibition being held at the Abeno Harukas Art Museum. I had used this Accommodation a few times for work banquets, and since the banquet food was surprisingly good, I assumed the restaurant meals would be as well, so I chose the “Shiromi Kaiseki” for dinner. The dishes served were beautifully presented and truly wonderful, and everything was delicious. Also, they watched our pace—we eat fairly quickly—and brought each course one after another without delay, which impressed us. The staff who served us were also very attentive and pleasant. The front desk staff were courteous and faultless in their service, and we thoroughly enjoyed the bath as well. Breakfast was also delicious; in particular, the freshly baked bread was excellent, and I ended up eating far too much. I would like to stay here again when I have a chance to visit central Osaka. However, I would like guests to wear pajamas only when going to the bath. While drinking coffee in the lobby in front of reception, I was surprised when a young woman came in wearing pajamas. I thought it wasn’t appropriate to come to reception like that. It says “No pajamas in the restaurant,” but it seems pajamas are allowed at reception—if possible, I hope you will reconsider this policy.

The Room was cleaned extremely thoroughly and felt very comfortable, and I was highly satisfied with the attentive service down to the smallest details. The front desk staff were also kind and welcoming, and their thoughtful care left a strong impression. The location is very convenient, and being able to enter the Hotel without needing an umbrella even on rainy days was truly helpful. The Room has wooden flooring, and there were some small scratches showing signs of use in places, but it actually felt cleaner and more hygienic than carpet, which gave me peace of mind. In addition, the Room itself is very spacious; even with two large suitcases opened at the same time, there was plenty of space, making it easy to organize luggage and very comfortable. Overall, it was a highly satisfying stay, though there were just a few small points that didn’t quite exceed my expectations. Even so, it’s a wonderful Hotel that I would definitely like to use again next time.
