Friendly hotel but not for tourists
Posted 17 Apr 2017
Pros: The staff are all welcoming and always ready to help. The price is competitive if you're on a budget and rooms are a good size.
Cons: The "mood" music playing 24 hours a day is too loud if your room is off the reception area as ours was. Also the bed was very hard.
Location: It is in a quiet location with only similar type hotels nearby. It is a 10/15 min walk to the station and a further 10 min journey to central Kyoto.
Staff were welcoming and eager to please. However this hotel is not geared up for tourists. There are no instructions for TV or any gadgets in English and, as this is a love hotel, you're wary of touching anything for fear of what you may be buying! There was also a vending machine in the room with no explanation as to the contents. The hotel needs to decide who they want to cater for and set up accordingly. Free breakfast is provided which is brought to your room. The 24 hour "mood music" and screens advertising the various rooms are too loud when your room is directly off the reception area.

Reasonable choice in expensive Kyoto hotel market
Posted 14 Apr 2017 on HotelsWe were happy to use it as a place to sleep over while exploring Kyoto during the day. Clean, comfortable small hotel. Not many options to have a snack in the area.

Nearest train station is Takeda which is a short walk away
The hotel food is great
Jacuzzi was an added nicety

Great room and bathroom
Posted 14 Aug 2016 on HotelsAs others have mentioned, it's a love hotel (you can even watch adult movies in the TVs by the lobby), but it's probably one of the biggest rooms (if not the biggest) you'll find in Kyoto. The shower itself is a whole room. The bed was a bit hard but surprisingly, we rested very well and had no backaches whatsoever. Breakfast was great, but make sure you reserve it the night before, as it is an in-room breakfast. Lots of different products to use (condom included). The only downside is that it's located in a strange area and not walking distance from the station; best choice for us was to take a taxi to and from the hotel.

Caution - this is not a tourist hotel
Posted 23 May 2016
Pros: The room was very spacious and very clean. The bathroom had a huge tube and high-tech shower. There are TV screens everywhere.
Cons: Although the personnel tries to be helpful, they do not speak English.
Location: There is nothing to speak of in this area; however, you are 800 meters from a subway.
I thought this was urban-spa type of hotel .... I was wrong. It's a Japanese Love Hotel - for couples looking for time-out and, or, a hideaway. The staff does not speak English, nor are they geared to provide any kind of tourist information, in fact, they remain discreetly out of view so you can go about your business without anyone seeing you. The room is clean, huge and full of all the necessities for love (you just need to understand all the Japanese instructions). This hotel is located in an industrial sector, which makes the walk back from the subway at night somewhat intimidating. I only recommend this hotel if you are looking to spice up your vacation with a love get-away, where you are planning to stay in your room.

Good location near Takeda train station and subway
Posted 7 Apr 2016
Pros: Excellent rooms.
Cons: Maybe food.
Location: Good to get to Kyoto. Easy access for the rest of Japan.
Was not aware of the type of hotel resort when booked but everything was professional. It was more like a Travel lodge in the UK .

Nice hotel with good conditions
Posted 18 Nov 2015
Pros: 60" TV in the room
It was out of expectation with the price I paid. I love the 60" TV in my room and all the facilities are almost brand new and this also is a quite new hotel and good for couples
