Nice hotel, very well located, next to the metro station.The rooms are very large and include everything you could need.You can also enjoy free onsen and spa. The only bad thing is that for a hotel of such a category and that it is not cheap, the staff does not know much English… I can understand it from a small hotel but from a hotel as big as the Monterrey….In fact, I don't understand that the staff in the spa/onsen area is the one who understands English the least, the truth is that it meant that we couldn't enjoy the entire experience because there were hardly any signs in English and cell phones are not allowed inside.

📌IG: Dora the vegetarian lion=======The location is very convenient. Get to Karasuma Oike, exit from Exit 5, and walk to the hotel in just 5 minutes.If you have luggage, it is recommended to take the train to Shijo Station from Exit 24 and take the train to the first floor, but the journey is longer and takes 7 to 8 minutes.I checked in in 20231210, and the average room for 2 people only costs more than NT$1,000, which is a great deal. You only need to pay 1,700 yen/time for bathing.Although the room is not very big, it is adequate.You can only take a shower while standing in the bathtub. The bathtub is not very anti-slip. Older people should pay attention to safety when bathing.My stay did not include breakfast because the famous breakfast cafes Smart Coffee and Inoda Coffee are very close.

I feel like the number of customers has decreased a bit, probably because so many hotels have been built.Spa and breakfast not crowdedI was very happy to be able to use the spa freely.I am very disappointed in the behavior of foreigners (Westerners), such as entering the bath suddenly without washing their bodies, and monopolizing the hot spring water.I would like it to be written larger in English.

Hotels on Karasuma StreetThe room is quiet and clean ✨The spa on the 13th floor used to have a fee, but I heard that it will be free for hotel guests from October 1, 2024.It was nice to have a sauna and open-air bath ♨️Smoking rooms 🚬 were located on the 1st and 2nd floors.The morning buffet 🍴 can be eaten on the second floor from 7am.Omelettes and a wide variety of rice balls baked by the staff 🍙The eel, tempura, and mountain wasabi marinated in soy sauce were especially delicious (≧∇≦)bHowever, one thing that bothered me was that when I took the hot spring egg, there was no dashi soup on it💦I wonder if there was soup stock somewhere?Other than that I was very satisfied⭕️

The room temperature and humidity were so high that I couldn't sleep at all. Please allow flexibility in setting the cooling, dehumidifying, heating, and temperature settings of the indoor air conditioner. On September 27th, the outside temperature exceeded 30 degrees, but the indoor air conditioner could not be changed to 25 degrees. Moreover, there are no thick duvets. A hotel where you can get a good night's sleep. Please provide high quality individual service rather than prioritizing profits. This time I will once again state my harsh opinion.

Nice rooms, bathrooms perhaps to be seen again. | Top breakfast, the massage lady is really good. You can't enter the Spa with tattoos, I don't agree but I respect the rule. …
