"My wife and I had a wonderful stay for 3 nights during our time in Kyoto. Mr. Yoneda reached out to me several days in advance of our arrival with check-in information along with photos to show clear directions from the train station to the house. He greeted us when we showed up, explained all that we needed to know about the house and ensured that all of our questions were answered. The accommodations in the home had what we were looking for in Kyoto: a traditional Japanese-style townhouse...

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, easy to get to everywhere with trains downstairs. It rained a few days while were we there but we had no problems because the trains were downstairs and we also travel through the underground walkways. Very convenient with tons of restaurants nearby and a supermarket downstairs that had everything. The room was very clean and the AC worked great. I look forward to staying here on my next trip to Osaka."
