Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent
"Good location & nice environment. Would be great if coin laundry is available & room clean-up be more thoughtful, like not repeatedly giving us more & more toiletries that we did not use. Having said, overall speaking it’s still very good. "
