Positive Reviews
Spacious rooms and large bathrooms
Many guests highlight unusually large rooms for Japan, with very big beds and roomy bathrooms that allow comfortable stretching out and a good night’s sleep.
Unique in‑room amenities
Rooms often include extra features such as a jacuzzi/hydromassage, private sauna, karaoke system, massage chair, large TV, kettle and microwave — amenities that made stays memorable for many visitors.
Clean, comfortable and well equipped
Multiple reviewers praised the cleanliness, comfortable beds and that rooms are well stocked with toiletries and basics, giving a feeling of good value compared with standard business hotels.
Good location, river view and parking

Helpful staff and smooth service
Reviewers reported friendly, accommodating staff, fast check‑in/out and inexpensive breakfast delivered to the room, contributing to positive overall experiences.
Negative Reviews
Smoking smell and room allocation
Several guests noted cigarette odour in many rooms and that smoking rooms are the default; reviewers recommend requesting a non‑smoking room in booking comments to avoid the smell.
Dated or aging decor
Some found the hotel’s style and furnishings a bit old or ‘time‑capsule’ vintage — acceptable or even charming to some, but a drawback for those expecting modern decor.
Limited natural light/windows
Because of the property’s origin as a love hotel, certain rooms have few or no proper windows, resulting in limited natural light which some guests found less appealing.
Occasional maintenance or operational issues
A few stays reported problems such as a non‑working jacuzzi, air‑conditioning faults or confusing door/key instructions; these appear intermittent but affected comfort for some guests.
Connectivity and language limitations
A minority experienced difficulty connecting to Wi‑Fi and noted front desk staff often had limited English, which may make communication or technical support harder for non‑Japanese speakers.
