    I chose this one as I couldn't find any business hotels in the area. The experience was good. The price was right. The hotel staff was very friendly. And the breakfast was delicious. They would bring breakfast every morning on time and ring the doorbell. There was one small problem for me as I was a business traveler. I had to bother them by calling the intercom several times a day to open the door. I sincerely apologize for that.

    It was adequate for the night. If you can deal with having to ask to be let out of your room.

    . Location was not what I was expecting. The hotel culture was not what I was expecting. Never heard of a love hotel before thought nothing of it when I booked. The check in and check out was not what I was expecting. Being locked in the room was a total not expecting. Was not comfortable with this. I felt my freedom to come and go was crushed. Not happy with that. Limited English by the hosts made it difficult. Cleanliness of the bathroom was not very clean. Mould in the grout and around the shower door.

    Location was close to aquarium and Lego land which was why I wanted to stay in the Area. Should have stayed near the station and got a train. Didn't do research on the train line when I booked. Spacious room and facilities were comfortable. Great view. Was a quiet area. Change from the city which was good to be able to walk around and not feel like you were bumping into everyone. Food court down near the water. Room service options were good however both items I wanted were not available. Breakfast was good.

    It's a place for adults, only. I do not recommend bringing children, although it says it is permitted. They keep you locked up in your room to prevent you to go out without checking out every morning. To get out, you must call the front desk and ask them to open the door for you. Then go to the 9th floor to pay for anything you've used in the room during the previous night and, finally, take a different elevator to go out of the building. The front desk is 24/7, but they are not very helpful if you need to leave your luggage, use the phone, or receive a delivery. You have to do everything on your own.

    1) molds in the bathroom 2) can't leave the room without calling the front desk to unlock the door. What if there's fire ? 3) I double locked the door and the staff was still able to open the door from the outside. I guess it was just for a show

    1) they didn't ask to photocopy my residents card and no bs during check in 2 ) check out was at 12 3) the hotel was close to the station and bus stop 4) spacious room 5) English channels 6) drinking water in the room 7) face pack and eye pack 8) room had its own "vending fridge" supplied with beer 9) breakfast served in the room 10) the food was not expensive at all

    This hotel was terrible and we were scared for our lives. They LOCK YOU IN at night and even after delivering breakfast the door is locked again! The lift you come up to your room is then locked and you can't go back down. It is set up like a sex worker hotel with items of that nature in the room plus gambling machines? Wierd. Absolutely not suitable for children. Very strange and scary hotel. Think twice before booking.

    There was nothing I liked about the hotel. The food was good but no restaurant. You have to eat in your room.

    It is a love hotel. I went with my family and a 1 year old son. it was embarrassing. I expect Booking. Com to mention that somewhere in the description. Also it was extremely expensive during the golden week time which added salt to my wound.

    They lock you in your room without telling you in advance. There is no key provided, this is their policy which is kinda ridiculous. They NEED to let people know CLEARLY this is not a regular hotel but a love hotel and people WILL BE LOCKED in their room with no fire exit. This experience is honestly pretty traumatizing, they even block you from exiting the lobby and the block off certain elevators. To go outside, you have to give them 10,000 yen. I am not kidding.

    Nothing positive - I was afraid for my life here and booked another hotel wasting money but my life is worth more

    Comfort room smells bad. Not foreigner friendly since staffs doesn't speak english. It shouldn't be listed on agoda since tourists use that to book decent hotels. Not love hotels. Everytime you need to go out the room you need to call the lobby to open the door for you. Very inconvenient.

    All the above

    Tricked into this hotel room by my wife, during a typhoon. The hotel is a bit creepy, and you are locked into your room until you call the non English speaking staff, and have to find your way out, since there is one elevator for exiting the hotel.

    Warning to guests- your room will be locked from the outside. we couldn’t leave our room for 2 hours after banging, calling and trying to communicate with the staff to let us out. rooms smell of smoke, staff don’t speak any English. would not recommend.

    This hotel was probably in top shape when it was built circa 1970. It was intended as an upscale resort hotel. However, somewhere along the way it, instead of updating it, it was aimed "down market" and became a 'Love Hotel'. Tacky and tatty. Yuck. We moved out after one night.

    The breakfast was delicious.

    music is played on speakers all through the night. you need to ring front desk to leave your room- you cannot exit at will! we were shocked to say the least. lifts slam shut on you while you are still entering them. extremely dangerous. it is an adult hotel, but the listing description did not indicate that clearly.
