ホテルネオワカバ
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 8 reviews
Hotel Neo Wakaba (often styled HOTEL neo WAKABA) is an adults-only, boutique property that reopened after a renovation in May 2025 with a clear focus on privacy, comfort and in-room wellness. Classified as a love hotel in Ibaraki on major booking platforms, the property operates a late check‑in window and enforces an 18+ policy; front‑desk service, room service and luggage storage are offered alongside complimentary on‑site parking. Public descriptions and guest feedback highlight consistently high marks for cleanliness and staff attentiveness, and several room types are presented — from standard double and twin layouts to suites with added space and balconies.
Rooms are fitted for short-stay comfort and private leisure: standard amenities include air conditioning, flat‑screen television, in‑room refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle, a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, and free Wi‑Fi. A small number of rooms were specifically upgraded during the refurbishment to include saunas (both dry and a single steam/loyly-style option), private jacuzzis and outdoor-bath features; other units offer terraces or balcony access and entertainment options such as VOD and selected audio/visual extras. The hotel maintains about twenty rooms with a mixture of accessible and premium layouts, and some units are equipped for small group use or special occasions.
Practical for motorists and visitors wanting an easy overnight or romantic stop, the property provides secure, free parking including several high‑roof spaces and straightforward access from nearby roads. Its emphasis on private wellness — private saunas, a rooftop terrace with a large jacuzzi in one premium room and quiet, unintrusive service — makes it suited to couples, small groups and solo guests seeking a discreet love hotel experience in Ibaraki Prefecture, while still serving as a convenient base for exploring the wider Tsuchiura area. Guests should note the hotel’s adult‑only policy and the hotel’s specified check‑in and check‑out windows when planning a stay.
