Negative Reviews
Payment and booking process can be confusing
A few guests found the payment/check‑in procedure (kiosk/contactless style common at love hotels) unclear—this led to misunderstandings about credit‑card billing and highlighted a need for clearer booking.com notes and on‑site instructions.
Maintenance and equipment issues
Several reviews mentioned small maintenance problems such as weak or intermittent air conditioning, water pressure and hot‑water issues, a shower spray that didn’t perform well, malfunctioning kettles/water servers and some TV or appliance faults.
Occasional cleanliness oversights
While many found rooms clean, some reviewers reported lapses like sticky floors, leftover items (e.g. gowns) or tissues under furniture, and missing basic items such as enough hangers or towel rails.
Smoke, odors and insects in some rooms
A number of guests noted tobacco smell or other odors in rooms and a small number mentioned insects around outdoor jacuzzi areas, which affected comfort for non‑smokers or sensitive guests.
Adult‑themed aspects and location limitations
The property’s adult/’love hotel’ nature means some in‑room adult items may be visible unless staff are informed; guests also mentioned the remote location with limited nearby convenience stores and the need for a car or taxi to reach the hotel easily.
