I think you can remove amenity=telephone as false positives. Someone copy and pasted the same description to 1500 (!) public telephones in Germany which contains “comfort” and matches the query.

Now your choice is whether you just want to display the map at your position, or if you need offline search or navigation, how much you’re willing to pay, and so on.
