"This would probably be the only property that I would not do a repeat visit going back to Japan. The property itself is not the most convenient to get to, even being near'ish Kyoto Station. It's about a 10 minute walk in any direction to get to any of the trains. That said, that wasn't the worst part. The unit itself was interesting. The tatami floors though were scuffed and dirty.

"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.

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent
"The shower was the most pressure plus most mist function we’ve ever experienced. So much so that we purchased the same shower head a Bic Camera to bring back to Canada in hopes it works the same. The room was spacious and the best a nice size, lobby always smelled amazing on first floor. Great location."
