8,2/10 Excellent - Based on 61 reviews
Hotel Alpha is an adult-only property in the Iizaka area that operates as a compact love hotel in Iizaka, offering a straightforward, privacy-focused stay for couples. Rooms are air‑conditioned and fitted with flat‑screen satellite TV and Blu‑ray players, while private bathrooms include bidet toilets, toiletries and hairdryers; guests report that many rooms feel spacious and that some units offer extras such as massage chairs and in-room laundry conveniences. Onsite facilities extend beyond the rooms to include a sauna, karaoke, 24‑hour reception and room service, and the property provides complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout.
Practical details are kept simple: standard check‑in hours begin in the mid‑afternoon and continue until midnight with check‑out around noon, and the house policy restricts stays to adults (minimum age typically 19) with no children or pets permitted. The hotel maintains private parking on site and accepts major credit cards, and breakfast and in‑room dining are available as supplemental options. Staff availability and a discreet arrival process are emphasised for guests seeking short‑term stays or overnight privacy.
Located within easy driving range of central Fukushima and the region’s hot spring district, the property is convenient for visitors exploring nearby onsen neighborhoods as well as regional attractions such as lakes and wildlife parks roughly 30–35 km away and an airport one to two hours by car. Its combination of in‑room entertainment, modest leisure facilities and practical services makes Hotel Alpha one of the practical love hotel options in Fukushima for adult travellers looking for privacy, convenience and straightforward amenities.

Tobacco/smoke smell in some rooms
A number of guests reported a noticeable cigarette or smoke odor in the room, which affected comfort for non‑smokers.
Remote / inconvenient location
Several reviewers mentioned the hotel is isolated or far from the town/onsen area, often requiring a taxi and making walking to nearby attractions difficult.
Overt 'love hotel' style can feel awkward
Some guests were surprised or uncomfortable because the property strongly presents as a love hotel, including entry procedures (needing staff to open doors) and in‑room adult items, which may be unexpected for first‑time visitors.
Occasional maintenance or equipment issues
A few reviews noted minor problems such as weak shower pressure, older upholstery (couch cover), inconsistent bath temperature, or difficulties purchasing certain in‑room items.
Minor comfort and facility quirks
Other occasional negatives included narrow parking, rooms feeling a bit cold in winter, and small cleanliness oversights (e.g. snack crumbs) mentioned by isolated guests.
