Schönes Hotel in uU problematischer Lage
Pros:

Austattung und Qualität der Zimmer

Cons:

Lage, booking com verweist nicht darauf, daß das Hotel auch ein Stundenhotel im Rotlichtviertel ist

We did not stay
Pros:

We did not stay at the property.

Cons:

It is a LOVE motel. We found out before check in. We arrived at the motel and told them we would not stay. They denied it but it was obvious. We asked for a refund and negotiated to pay one night even though we didn’t stay.

Pros:

It was actually so great for a tourist stay. Loads of amenity. It totally worked as a travelling couple even though the process for check in feels weird talking to a wall on check in as part of the discretion element.

Cons:

It is a Love hotel, so it has a strange layout that doesn't feel very spacious in the room, and generally it feels cluttered - but it isnt. It just offers a lot.

Pros:

Spacious room, plenty of cosmetics, location is close to Ikebukuro station (Yamanote line is very convenient for site seeing of Tokyo) , plenty restaurants and caffes nearby. You get everything you need for a decent price

Cons:

It's actually "love hotel", which was not an issue for us, but it could be a little bit strange with "anonymous approach" (reception and etc.)

Pros:

Hôtel le plus spacieux de tout mon voyage, parfait pour nos 2 derniers jours au Japon. Nous avions la possibilité de nous occuper de nos 3 valises chacun très facilement en plus d’avoir accès à un confort exceptionnel (baignoire type jaccuzi, lumières d’ambiance, grand lit queen size, des cadeaux offerts pour boire manger et des produits de beauté). Oui c’est un love hôtel mais clairement nous n’avons absolument pas été embêtés par quoique ce soit, pour les touristes c’est clairement le meilleur plan pour avoir quelque chose de grand et spacieux pour pas cher. Mention spéciale pour la réception qui malgré le côté anonyme du lieu est tout de même très gentil !
