Review summary for: HOTEL A La Mode -アラモード-
Positive Reviews
Delicious food and strong dining options
Multiple guests praised the hotel’s food — dinner menu and steak/rice plate described as tasty and better than at other hotels. Several reviews highlight that meals exceeded expectations.
Clean, spacious and comfortable rooms
Reviewers frequently noted that rooms are roomy, well cleaned and the beds comfortable; deluxe rooms have large bathtubs and some guests found the space relaxing and good value for the price.
Friendly, helpful staff and foreigner‑friendly service
Staff were described as kind, helpful and able to communicate in basic English. Guests appreciated attentive service, smooth check‑in/out and willingness to assist with requests.
Good amenities and in‑room entertainment
Many reviews mention complimentary drink bars and toiletries, in‑house movies, karaoke and deluxe features (projector room, bedside massager). Guests enjoyed the variety of free amenities and entertainment options.
Privacy and adults‑only atmosphere
The hotel’s adults‑only / love‑hotel setup appealed to guests seeking privacy: limited contact with staff, breakfast delivered to rooms and a discreet check‑in/exit system were seen as positives.
Negative Reviews
Rooms can be warm in summer / air conditioning weak
Several guests reported that large rooms or deluxe rooms could feel a little hot in summer and that the air‑conditioning wasn’t always strong enough for very warm weather.
Remote location and wayfinding difficulties
Some reviewers found the hotel hard to locate and relatively far from the station; travelers without a car were advised that taxis may be necessary.
Occasional maintenance or comfort issues
A few guests mentioned issues such as a noisy refrigerator compressor, a narrow bathtub in some room types, lack of a seat at the sink, and one report of a dirty massage device — suggesting intermittent maintenance gaps.
TV/settings and access system inconveniences
There were notes about TV language settings being limited (guests relied on Netflix) and the property’s privacy system requiring phone contact with reception to exit (no door key), which some found awkward.
Price and rare serious service complaint
While many felt the experience matched the cost, a few said the hotel is a little expensive and better value comes with higher‑end rooms. One guest reported a distressing incident about being locked in and an unsatisfactory response from management; this appears to be an uncommon but serious concern.
