Review summary for: Hotel Chronos -Adult Only
Positive Reviews
Unique, well‑designed themed rooms
Multiple guests praised the hotel's creative, fun and varied interior design — rooms described as ‘wild’, interesting or like a mini‑experience, which many found enjoyable for a night or couple stay.
Spacious rooms with good amenities
Reviewers frequently mentioned large rooms with comfortable double beds, separate sitting areas, large shower/bathrooms and extras such as hot tubs and plentiful in‑room amenities.
Friendly and helpful staff
Several guests noted staff were patient, accommodating and made efforts to communicate (sometimes using translation apps), helping resolve issues despite language limits.
Good value for a short, novelty stay
Many reviewers felt the stay was good value for the experience — especially for one night — praising price versus what the themed rooms offered.
Breakfast and parking options appreciated
Guests liked the breakfast (often served in‑room or with simple options) and some highlighted free/available parking directly outside the room.
Negative Reviews
Confusing check‑in and door access system
Numerous reviews reported an unconventional arrival and keyless system (phone or call to staff to unlock doors). This was confusing for many, sometimes leaving guests locked in/out until staff responded.
Language barrier for non‑Japanese speakers
Multiple guests found it difficult the staff often do not speak English; the arrival/payment/departure procedures and door operation were not clearly communicated to non‑Japanese speakers.
Remote location and limited transport convenience
Several reviewers said the hotel is quite far from the city centre and main attractions, requiring long walks, multiple buses or metro plus walking, which may be inconvenient for tourists/backpackers.
Cleanliness and maintenance concerns
Some guests reported issues such as stains, dust, used tissues found in rooms, insects, taped or broken fixtures and occasional lapses in housekeeping, indicating inconsistent maintenance.
Comfort and safety issues reported by a few
A minority of reviews mentioned problems with temperature control or air conditioning, weak Wi‑Fi, smoke smell in rooms and one report of a potentially unsafe lamp setup—these issues caused discomfort and safety concern for those guests.
