    Missed the comments that this was a love hotel. Bed and pillows were uncomfortable. There was a fan that very loud and we couldn’t access the controls.

    Convenient location to Ikebukuro station.

    Love hotel - solo female travellers beware; very comfortable hotel with amenities and good service
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Economy Double Room

    As a solo female traveller, it was quite scary hearing weird grunts when i walked to the elevators and past other rooms, and there was loud banging at night from other neighbouring rooms. The ad didn't say this was a love hotel, so I unwittingly booked it because it was a great price. The location is convenient, as it is near the station, however beware of walking around late at night and being approached by men (I was solicited by a local man in the area on my way back to the hotel from Don Quijote). The rooms do not have natural lighting, so doing my daily makeup was a bit difficult.

    A lot of amenities, very clean, spacious, comfortable bed, good customer service. Nice hotel if you're going as a couple or a solo male traveller.

    The bed was very stiff, the room was smaller than what is shown on the pictures, and the bathroom window’s caulking was missing so bugs kept coming in.

    It was in a great location, near the station and by lots of restaurants, bars and shops.

    Not clean enough, as it was a love hotel I expected to be very, very clean and there were hairs in the floor. I did not like the bed, it has like a thin mattres on top of the normal mattres and the thin one was the one covered with sheets. Pictures were not accurate to reality, the small was small and there were no hangs. Maybe ok for some hours but not for a long stay.

    Location was ok but there are two hotels with the same name in the same neighbourhood and this one does not appear in gmaps. Amenities were good, personnel as well.

    It’s an adult hotel, they do not do room cleaning daily like other hotels. You’ll have to inform the front desk if you would like room cleaning. The location isn’t exactly convenient for the places we planned in our itinerary.

    The room is very big for a hotel in Tokyo. They have facilities that other hotels may not have, e.g. KTV in some of their rooms. Their staff also do try their best to communicate with us via translator.

    Not very clean. I found pubs on the ground near the fridge. Very tiny room it’s hard to move around and I’m not a big person I’m only 5’2” but felt it’s very small space.

    Very convenient location and great value for money if you can look past the fact that it's a love hotel

    Good value for money. It is not really a love hotel in my opinion, just an hourly normal hotel. No adult accessories or anything. For Tokyo, the room was very spacious. It is a bit far from the station but still very convenient.
