Hotel Plantan – Adult Only
7,8/10 Very good - Based on 53 reviews
Hotel Plantan – Adult Only presents a compact, modern option for adult travellers seeking a private stay in Tokyo. Marketed as an adult-only love hotel in Tokyo, the property occupies a low-rise building near major local landmarks and offers practical, no-frills accommodation focused on clean, well-equipped rooms. Its position close to Uguisudani Station on the JR lines puts museums, temple complexes and the broader Ueno area within easy walking distance, making the hotel a convenient choice for short overnight stays and late arrivals.
Rooms are uniformly appointed with essentials intended for comfort and privacy: complimentary Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, heating, a tea/coffee kettle and a private bathroom fitted with a bidet, complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. Public facilities include an elevator and a 24-hour reception desk; housekeeping practices and in‑room amenities reflect a compact city hotel model. Operational rules are clear and consistent with an adult-only policy — minimum age requirements apply, children and pets are not admitted, parties are prohibited, and typical arrival hours fall in the late evening with checkout by midday.
The hotel's interior and service style lean toward discreet convenience rather than luxury, with an emphasis on cleanliness and practical in‑room features. Its street-level access and proximity to local train connections make it straightforward to reach Ueno’s cultural attractions and dining streets after a short commute, while the city airport is reachable in under an hour by public transport. For couples or solo adults looking for a straightforward, discreet overnight base near central Tokyo sites, this love hotel offers predictable amenities and easy access to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Negative Reviews
Love‑hotel format with restricted hours
This property operates as a love hotel for many bookings: check‑in is typically late (around 9pm) and the standard checkout is midday (12pm). This is different from a regular hotel and some guests were surprised by the limited hours and the need to pay for extra time.
Daily checkout policy and no baggage storage
Several guests reported that even for multi‑night bookings they were required to check out each day and could not leave luggage at the property, which is inconvenient when travelling and forces use of lockers or extra handling.
Language and communication challenges
A number of reviewers experienced difficulty communicating with staff due to limited foreign language ability; some relied on translation apps, which made interactions harder.
Inconsistent cleanliness/noise reported by some
While many praised cleanliness, a few guests reported the hotel was not clean or not calm, and some noted they could hear door/noise—indicating occasional variability in cleanliness and noise levels.
Limited or basic in‑room amenities for some guests
A few reviewers mentioned shortcomings in amenities—missing items like a humidifier, a small bathtub, and basic or low‑quality toiletries (e.g. combined rinse‑in shampoo) which some guests found unsatisfactory.
