Review summary for: Hotel AKAIKUTSU – Adult
Positive Reviews
Excellent location
Many guests highlighted the very convenient location—right by Chinatown, close to the train station and Minato Mirai—making sightseeing, shopping and dining easily accessible.
Impressive bathrooms and bathtub
Multiple reviewers praised the bath facilities (private tub, jacuzzi/ofuro-style wet area), calling the bathtub a major reason to stay and describing the bathing area as better than typical hotels.
Friendly and responsive staff
Several guests reported polite, helpful front desk service; staff responded quickly when contacted (for example to unlock doors) and overall provided a pleasant, attentive welcome.
Good amenities and room features
Rooms were noted to be well equipped with toiletries (skin lotion, milk lotion, bathing powder), useful in-room equipment (microwave), and options like extending stays by hours; some guests also mentioned available parking.
Comfortable atmosphere for couples
As a love hotel, many couples enjoyed the atmosphere, found rooms comfortable and relaxing, and appreciated the privacy and value for this style of stay.
Negative Reviews
Auto-lock/exit system can be inconvenient
A common issue: room doors are centrally locked and guests must call reception each time they leave or return. Several found this awkward or even frightening (concerns about claustrophobia or emergency situations), though staff typically unlocked promptly.
Inconsistent cleanliness
Some reviews reported cleanliness problems such as hairs in the bathroom, dusty surfaces, and marks on walls or furniture; guests suggested housekeeping could be more thorough in some rooms.
Aging condition and odors in places
A number of guests noted signs of wear (peeling paint, visible usage marks) and occasional unpleasant smells (e.g. lingering smoke) that made parts of the property feel dated.
Limited parking and restricted in-room facilities
Several reviewers mentioned limited parking availability (only a few spaces) and practical inconveniences like minibars/refrigerators stocked with items that made them unusable for guests.
Language barrier and variable staff shifts
Some visitors noted that staff may have limited English, which can complicate procedures unfamiliar to non‑Japanese speakers; a few also reported less friendly behaviour from night-shift staff.
