Repetiría seguro, lo que sea love hotel no importa
Pros:

Que la gente se olvide que es un love hotel, las habitaciones son inmensas por lo que es Japón, está muy bien ubicado y tienes todo lo necesario. No es para los que van a ser mimados por el hotel y atención al cliente, es para los que valoran confort y calidad de habitación a muy buen precio

Cons:

Nada, todo me gustó

An exceptional stay with beautiful amenities and outstanding service!
Pros:

I loved everything about this hotel! The room felt classy, the outdoor garden hot tubs were amazing, and the towels and toiletries were all fantastic quality. The staff were wonderful, and the room service was the best I've ever had.

They held our luggage until our evening flight so we could explore the city for a few more hours, which made our last day so much easier. We also arranged a luggage transfer ourselves, and the hotel accepted our bags and had them waiting in our room before we even arrived, which was incredible.

Everything about our experience at this hotel was fantastic. Truly a wonderful stay!

Cons:

My only complaint was the small trash cans. Since public trash cans are hard to find in Japan, we often brought trash back to the hotel, and the bins just weren't big enough.

Beautiful interiors and thoughtful details, but extremely small rooms and uncomfortable beds take away from the overall
Pros:

The property is absolutely beautiful, with stylish, modern interiors and thoughtfully designed rooms. We stayed in two different rooms, and both were aesthetically pleasing, especially the bathrooms and beautiful bathtubs. The location was easy to find, and the self-check-in process was incredibly simple. Although we never saw the staff, as they operated behind a partition, everything ran smoothly. The rooms were generally very clean and exceptionally well-equipped with thoughtful essentials, including toothbrushes, hair ties, toiletries, and even a hair straightener, which was a pleasant surprise. I really appreciated the attention to detail and overall presentation of the property.

Cons:

My biggest disappointment was the beds. The mattresses were extremely hard and uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. They also didn’t appear to be fully covered or properly dressed, with portions of the mattresses exposed, which I found unappealing from a cleanliness standpoint.

The rooms are also EXTREMELY small, with virtually no storage space for clothing or luggage. Even opening a suitcase was challenging. There is a small entryway where luggage can be placed, but doing so makes it difficult to move around. I would strongly recommend packing very light.

Despite booking a nonsmoking room, I noticed a faint lingering cigarette smell. I also found a few hairs in our first room, although the rest of the room appeared clean. There were no notable shared amenities or views, and considering the limited space and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, I felt the price could have been more competitive.

The property has so much potential, but investing in thicker, more comfortable mattresses and properly fitted bedding would make a tremendous difference. Those improvements alone would make me much more likely to return.
