"It is a simple ryokan which shows how it used to be. Very serene and quiet place with a small but beautiful onsen (hot pool and outside rockpool). Right there he walk to the Buddhist temple along the Kansii River starts. A most outstanding forest walk with many Buddhist features along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and that 2 hour walk."

"Such a beautiful place to stay! The Kaiseki experience and the traditional Japanese setting, we loved it! Staff is very friendly and even helped us to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Not to mention the amazing views while you are soaking in onsen. "

"For most people it’s a once in a lifetime experience as it was for us.
Good food, the onsen was not so good, ceremonies, which due to our lacking Japanese we couldn’t understand. But all in all a great experience.
It was rather cold in the temple. "

"This traditional Japanese Inn is thoroughly modern with excellent facilities, rooms, Michelin quality food, and helpful staff. We want to call out ‘Mikki’ who was super kind and helped us with any language barriers we had. The entire restaurant staff was amazing and we are grateful to meet the chef. The onsens were also wonderful. A room here with breakfast and dinner included is an excellent value."

"The reception staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman who tended to us last night. He was very patient and especially helpful to our multiple queries and tried his best to help. We were very grateful for his sincerity in wanting to help. Recommended us to a wonderful place for dinner too which we enjoyed tremendously. The view from our room is fantastic! Thank you for everything! "

"Room was great, staff were very helpful. Hotel configuration is such that there are a set of about 10 steps that cannot be avoided, even though there is an elevator. That means that luggage has to be hauled up the steps.
Staff were very helpful, we arrived in two groups. Second group after the kitchen closed. First guest had to go to Kansai airport to pick up second group. All missed dinner. Hotel was very understanding and did not charge us for that dinner."

"Location : around 7-10 min walk to the nearest station Namba. 3 min walk to Lawson. 10 min walk to takashimaya shopping mall.
Room: don’t expect the room in big city like Osaka will give you a spacious room. At least for me it is reasonable size for a solo traveller
Breakfast: free breakfast. The quality and variety is better than I expected even though it is free of charge.
Staff: nice staff
Highly recommended for budget traveller "
"this accomodation was our favourite during our 3 week trip to Japan. we were amazed by how nice our stay was, the inside was immaculate and kept clean and the staff were so friendly our entire stay. Our room was so spacious compared to all our other stays it was definitely worth upgrading to the bigger room as we had so much room and in the bathroom with the shower as well. location was also very convenient with the entry for the train station being right next door. could not recommend this place enough for anyone looking for somewhere in Osaka!"
"This hotel was amazing! We absolutely loved our stay and it was the standard by which I measured all the other hotels on my trip throughout Japan. We stayed here for 5 nights.
When we arrived, I was immediately welcomed by the staff and received my room expeditiously. The hotel itself is beautiful and very conveniently located above a major metro station, although I never heard any trains from my room while I was there.
The room itself was very comfortable! We had 1.5 bathrooms and were on the top floor! I don’t remember which room option I booked but this one was very comfortable. It felt like a small apartment. The beds were comfortable, you have control of the thermostat, the bathrooms were great.
The breakfast was excellent! We did 2 days at the breakfast buffet- one day had the steak, the other day didn’t so I’m not sure why, or if the steak was only a special thing for their New Years price (bc it was more expensive that day). But regardless, it was an excellent international breakfast in a beautiful ballroom both days and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
So yeah! Truly, no complaints about this hotel, they are top tier and we really enjoyed the stay. Thank you hotel Grasmere Monterey!

"For how much this hotel costs I was really blown away by how luxurious it felt! It was well worth tge price at a great value. There are hotel clothes and slippers available in the room that you can wear around to the lobby, spa, and breakfast. The room itself was spacious and I had a fantastic view! I also had a chance to try the public bath on the roof and it was so relaxing! The surrounding area is also worth exploring. I wish I had more time to spend here and will definitely book again on my future trips."
