Hotel Chocola Gose (Adult Only)
6,6/10 Good - Based on 56 reviews
Hotel Chocola Gose (Adult Only) is an adult-only short-stay property located on the outskirts of Gose in Nara prefecture. The property is aimed at couples seeking discretion, with a discreet entrance and ample on-site parking. Reception operates around the clock and room service is available, so arrivals outside typical hours are accommodated. Public spaces are intentionally limited; the operation focuses on private, self-contained stays rather than extended communal facilities, and the venue is not intended for families.
Guest rooms are compact and practical, each typically fitted with air conditioning, a refrigerator, microwave, electric kettle, flat-screen TV and hairdryer, with toiletries supplied. Many rooms include a jetted bathtub or hot-tub style bath and in-room entertainment systems; selected units offer extras such as massage chairs, bathroom TVs or mist-sauna features. Rooms commonly provide in-room video-on-demand libraries and basic refreshments, which supports short romantic or overnight visits prioritising comfort and privacy over extensive hotel services.
