Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

8/10 Good
"The hotel is well located for easy travel to and from Kansai Airport. Namba train station is right next door for train connections and there's also a bus terminal that connects the airport directly (50 minutes). The rooms are very clean and you get daily supplies of complimentary water, tea/coffee and espresso machine too. Multiple elevators for easy access, I was on the 28th floor which offered a great view of the city night and day. The bathroom is great with the button controls and the power shower is great too."
