5,3/10 Average - Based on 48 reviews
Saint Martin (Adult Only) is an adult-only property operating as a love hotel in Kyoto, positioned for easy access to the station and the Kawaramachi shopping corridor. The property maintains 21 rooms and a 24-hour reception; children are not permitted and guests must be at least 18 years old. Standard check-in begins in the mid-afternoon and check-out is by midday, and staff at the front desk can provide local guidance. The accommodation is set up for short-stay and overnight use with an emphasis on privacy and straightforward service.
Guest rooms are fitted with large flat-screen televisions and video-on-demand systems, complimentary Wi‑Fi, water dispensers and modern shower-toilet units; bath linens and basic toiletries are supplied. The hotel operates an amenities corner offering hair irons, extra shampoo/conditioner and roomwear rentals, and small convenience items such as mobile chargers are available on request. A food menu is offered and overnight guests may receive a morning service option. Facilities focus on in-room entertainment and comfort rather than extensive public areas.
Location-wise, the property is convenient for exploring central Kyoto attractions, with good public-transport links to the city’s major markets, tower and temple districts, and provides a practical base for wider day trips around Kansai. The hotel indicates limited or no onsite parking and therefore recommends using public transport where possible. Time-based plans for short stays, service-time use and overnight accommodation are offered, and staff enforce standard hotel policies including age verification at check-in.
