It is an adult "motel", and people may not like the "name". It has funny things in the rooms, but otherwise the amenities are excellent.

Nice hotel with huge, comfortable rooms.
This hotel is quite faraway from Nara city centre/train station but is 5minute walk to a bus stop (maps provided) and McDonald's, delicious Japanese restaurant and convenience store. Room service is provided 24/7 though which makes things easy. The room is HUGE for the price we paid, along with a huge bathroom. This was equipped with more than enough cleaning/hair products. The spa bath and massage chair were the highlight after long days of walking and sightseeing. Would definitely recommend, for both a romantic weekend and as a place to unwind after sightseeing.

The room we had was excellent. Finding the hotel was a bit tricky as the rental cars sat nav would not guide us to where we needed to be. The hotel is excellent if you have a car as it is quite a long way out from anywhere and the local area has nothing to walk to in the evening, but could not fault the room and the facilities...

Excellent value but far away
Excellent place to stay to relax for a couple of days but a bit far off from the attractions of Nara. if you have your own transport then its better.

A Remote Love Hotel
This hotel is a remote area between Nara and Osaka and very difficult to access. The nearest bus station is in about 15 minutes walking distance with a cemetery along the way. I booked it because all the rest in the tourist area were fully booked. When I arrived, I was only to discover that this is actually a love hotel and I went with my family... However, the room size is huge (in Japanese sense) and the en suite bathroom is quite comfy.

Wonderful, would stay again for sure!
Wonderful! Beautiful, clean, didn't smell heavily of smoke and came with great amenities. The only problem is the location is a bit out of the way if you plan to walk. It's off of a freeway/highway. Google maps gave bad walking directions. Hotel gives wonderful tips on sightseeing in a book in the room and methods and prices on coming from the station.

Great experience, bad location. Cycled there
Not near any stations but great service. I rented an electric bicycle and cycled there. My main luggage left it at the station. Jacuzzi was great. So was the projector. Super spacious room. Breakfast served at your requested timing and called when you did not answer. Staff cannot speak much English but helpful. If within the area, will definitely go back. An experience not to be missed, probably try to rent a motorcycle this time

Love Hotel - Research it if you don't know...
This is a love hotel. Most love hotels cannot be booked ahead of time. That being said, outside of being way too far out of town - this is a nice hotel. You will need to be avid walkers/in shape to walk & or catch the bus (train station is about 25 min away walking through a few neighborhoods. Rooms are large and very clean. Plenty of amenities.

LUXURY hotel, not near city
This hotel was a real luxury for us. I've never stayed in anywhere so fancy. The massage chair was a god send, absolutely amazing. Jacuzzi bath is fun. 100 inch projector screen made for a nice night-in watching a movie. Breakfast was a choice of six options, I got the ramen and really really enjoyed it. It's delivered to your room which is quite nice because you can eat without having gotten ready yet. It IS a love hotel so p*rn channels are available but you can obviously just not watch those channels. We read that you are woken for breakfast by your tv coming on with p*rn so we just unplugged the tv :). The hotel is also not close to anywhere so you have to get a ¥2000 taxi there from the train station. BUT they will REIMBURSE you for your first taxi ride out there! Just make sure you ask the taxi driver for a receipt!! If you're staying for one night (like we were) that meant we only paid the taxi fare once (when we left).

Great room and price, inconvenient location
Basically a love hotel, as the ad states, but clean, comfortable, well-equipped room (massage chair, jacuzzi, feather tickler, massage wand, big TV, nice bathroom, and sofa/coffee table). Definitely the most room for the money I found on this trip. The downside is location: very isolated in a not very interesting part of town, way out of walking distance from any sights in town. With a car it would work out alright, but by foot very inconvenient. Taxi is an option but you'll spend as much on taxi rides as you'd save on the room. Also, almost no English spoken by staff, although they were nice and helpful.

A surprising find
Yes this is a "love hotel" that I booked by accident but the room comfort was great. A bathroom with spa that glowed, top quality toiletry products, king size bed, opening window, massage chair. The room was very clean and well maintained. Towels, robes, slippers etc all in plastic to ensure cleanliness- excellent. No food on sight but you can order room service. Staff have virtually no English but did try hard to communicate and also have a program on the computer to enable two way conversation- this was very useful. Great car parking although access is difficult and if you miss the turn off like my husband did twice it will cost you two road tolls to get back there.

Love hotel
The room was big and clean, though cigarette smoke was stinking a little. This is a love hotel. Jacuzzi was great and there were all kinds of hair etc. products available, which was nice. Breakfast was okay. The location is very far from Nara city centre. There is a bus stop a few hundred meters away from the hotel, but it's a bit hard to find. Taxi is the best way to get to the hotel.

This is a love hotel
You need a car to stay in this hotel, which is far from the center. It is an hotel where Japanese couples come discreetly to spend a night. Big rooms with movie projector and big bed, big bathroom with jacuzzi tub with fancy lights and TV screen (with movies for adults only!). The hotel is very clean, good internet connection. No restaurant but you can order food from room service (not good at all). Staff very friendly and very discreet.

Love hotel
Low score and no recommendation because this hotel was not clearly advertised as a Japanese "love hotel". We had no other options that day because of cherry blossom season. If there were other options, I would not stay here: If you can get past the tackiness, the fact that it's inaccessible by anything but a car, and the prominently displayed vibrator, the rooms are big and okay to sleep in. There's a PlayStation, jacuzzi with disco lightning, and a kareoke machine in each room. Which I guess is pretty cool. Fine garden is fine provided you know what you're getting into.

Unbeatable price.
Nothing to complain with the unbeatable price. Parking lot is free. Room is big enough. Shower room is good. Staffs are nice. But the sheet (which covers you) is extreme thick. Maybe for winter or something. Feels hot with conditioner set at 24C. Another thing is that the road out of the hotel is a bit confusing for foreigners. I finally figure out a faster way at the third day which saves 15-20 minutes with heavy traffic. Would suggest the hotel to give a instruction for every guest.
