HOTEL Lotus Shibuya (Adult Only)
7,5/10 Very good - Based on 45 reviews
HOTEL Lotus Shibuya is an adults‑only city stay in central Shibuya, presented as a compact, discreet property that was previously marketed under a different name. Positioned within easy walking distance of Shibuya’s main shopping streets and transport hubs, it is described as a convenient base for evening plans and short overnight stays. The property operates a 24‑hour front desk and enforces an over‑18 policy, so it functions as a dedicated love hotel in Tokyo for guests seeking privacy and a central location without the scale of a large chain.
Guest accommodation focuses on in‑room comfort and short‑stay amenities: rooms typically include air conditioning, a flat‑screen TV, seating or a sofa, private bathroom with bath or shower, basic toiletries, bathrobes and hairdryer. Onsite services highlighted across listings and the property profile include room service ordered via in‑room tablet, daily housekeeping, complimentary bottled water, and optional yukata rental. The hotel also advertises mood features more common to boutique leisure hotels — private open‑air baths or rentable bathing areas, a karaoke room, and a rooftop wellness space that has been noted as having a sauna and communal footbath — alongside elevator access and free Wi‑Fi.
Operational details stress discretion and convenience: a small reception team handles arrivals around the clock, and the venue typically markets itself toward couples rather than families; children and pets are not accepted. The compact footprint and leisure‑focused extras make it suited to short, private stays where guests want immediate access to Shibuya nightlife and sightseeing. As a straightforward love hotel Tokyo option, it aims to combine practical city access with a selection of private leisure facilities for a focused, adult stay.
