The room was massive, very stylish and a lot of fun! Significant bonus points for the large jacuzzi with mood lights! I hope to book through this hotel again next year, if they'll have me again!

Wonderful hotel!
Located at the heart of Kabukicho, Nearest subway at Shinjuku Sanchome which is about 10 mins walk. Room is spacious relative to a lot of hotels around Shinjuku. Love the ambience and lighting. Service staff are polite and the manager is able to converse in English. Would love to stay again in my next visit!

Great experience
It is a love hotel, but was the most well appointed room I stayed in on my two week, four city trip to Japan. For the price and the experience of staying in Kabukicho I very much recommend it. Only negative is my bedding smelled a bit smokey.

Right in the heart of Shinjuku
Although we booked it because it was an ‘adult’ only hotel, it is clearly aimed at adult activities, not because they don’t allow children. It wasn’t clear that it is a hotel where most of the guests pay for rooms by the hour, not day. However our stay was pleasant and the room we had was very clean and had all amenities you’d expect (plus extras!).

Tokyo, I wanted to stay close to the gay area and I felt like for the amount I Paid for I should have received a much better hotel. It was rated 4 stars, my personal openion it was at best a 2 star hotel, super small rooms small bed uncomfortable and a total turn off turning in the room key each time you leave the hotel

A perfect location, in the Shinjuku district. Plenty of night life outside the door, ten minutes walk to Shinjuku Station. A love hotel, but great quiet rooms, no busy lobby, no kids. Not for a family trip, but great for couples. Lots of personal amenities.

Fun comfortable good value hotel
At check in we were handed our room key and advised that there were complimentary chopsticks and sake in the room. The room is more spacious than most hotel rooms in Japan, it is sound-proofed, luxurious and very comfortable. It is very good value for money. We had a lot of fun with the karaoke machine and two microphones. We enjoyed the separated jacuzzi and the ability to make it a steam room, and we put on the colourful lights on the jacuzzi. The Shinjuku area is an entertainment district. We walked to and from Shinjuku-Sanchome metro / subway which is not the closest metro station (but still close) because we arrived Tokyo Station on a Shinkansen bullet train, took the Marunouchi metro line 8 or 9 stops to Shinjuku Sanchome station. Using Shinjuku Sanchome station meant we did not need to change metro/subway lines. Some reviewers have complained here that they did not realise this was a Love Hotel. Did they not read the description of it properly prior to booking? Did they not read reviews? We booked knowing this is a Love Hotel, and chose it for a whole quirky “Japan” experience, and for a bit of fun karaoke in comfort of our own room, and a dash of luxury on our final night in Japan. When we checked out, we left our luggage and walked around Shinjuku for a little while, before returning to collect our bags. Wifi was very good too.

Large rooms with spas in the party end of Tokyo .
The largest rooms for the price in Tokyo. Since Japan has whole families in tiny apartments they have these Love Hotels for some privacy. Very classy and stylish with huge beds, a spa/sauna with tv, a kareoke machine, and tasteful adult movie options or New Releases for free. Room service is reasonably priced. Everything is waliking distance or a short subway trip away.

Amazing Experience!
My very first Love hotel stay and it was by far the best stay ever compared to all the hotels I've stayed in Japan!! The room is huge! The amenities in the room is overflowing and you could even ask for a better quality items to be sent to your room on loan. Whatever you need they have it. Location wise it's very happening and near a train station. Would love to come back again in the future and check out their other hotels under JHT group.

Excellent Hotel, "adults only" is no problem
OK, yes this is a no-tell motel for the locals. But just get over that idea and it's a really remarkable hotel for a great price in a good location. When I checked in (at the notoriously frosted glass teller's window) and the staff realized that I was a real American tourist actually staying at the hotel, they all came out to great me enthusiastically. The rooms are excellently appointed, the bed was typically Japanese harder than normal, but still quite comfortable. There is a separate seating area couch and table and a kareoke machine. The amenities overflowed (creams, shampoos, etc. and also a good bottle of saki to welcome you). The room had a large TV and a great sound system which you could play music. The lighting was pre-programed for many different moods. But what makes this win hand's down is the bathroom. A huge tub with a spa feature, a television for the Spa and this room also served as a shower area and a steam room (there was a separate room for the kimode with all of the necessary Japanese toilet "features"). After a long day of walking 10's of kilometers, relaxing in the spa/steam room and watching sports on TV was fantastic. The only thing that's weird is that there is no closet and only two small doors to store your clothes. There are two hooks with bathrobes and hangers. Obviously, it wasn't designed with the idea that you might stay for more than 3 hrs, This is an excellent hotel for a solo traveler or for couples.

Convenient and nice hotel
We booked this hotel for location that close to Shinjuku Kabukicho and bed choice of Queen bed (other places are Twin or Full) even it said Love Hotel. So, we originally expect a iffy hotel with lots noises. Turn out it was surprisingly nice and clean with no noise (sound proof) hotel. All staffs are friendly and have 1-2 staffs speaking English (so useful!) and provided us with a free bottle of champagne and 2 free bottles of water. Inside have a good sofa with coffee table and spaces are spacious comparing to Japan standard hotels. Lots of amenities from regular hotel stuffs and lots perks such as face mask, bubble bath, hair spray/gel, even samples like toner/lotion. It was only 3 min to Samurai museum, 5 min to famous Robot Restaurant, 6 min to see Godzilla head and close by King Kong, 10 min to Shinjuku station and 8 min to Shinjuku-sanchome Station and of courses lots restaurants, shopping and bars. For us from US and lack of japanese speaking, it is very convenient hotel to walk around. They also provided us free luggages storage services after our check out so we could go Imperial Palace without our international big size luggages. It was really hard to find lockers to store big luggages from Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka areas. They also have karaoke machine, small bar, fridge, sauna and jacuzzi but we didn't use any since busy sightseeing outside. They don't provide breakfast but you can find lots family mart or 7-11 to get some. Will come back if visiting Tokyo.

No Tell ... Motel!!!
Ok, I booked this hotel because the it was middle of the road price. Unlike the $700-$1,000 per night western hotel chains. It said Adults only, and i was thinking great, then kids wouldn't be running up and down the halls. Turns out this is one of those hotels where you and a "friend " could be free to get your super freak on in a sound proof room with free porn..... not judging,,to each his own. Just not what we were expecting. needless to say, the bottle of febreeze type spray beside the bed, just screamed yucky.

Excellent stay
This is a great place to stay. Room size was big for Japanese standards, very comfortable bed and lots of free toiletries. Staff spoke good English and was very welcoming on arrival, and provided us with a free bottle of champagne. Everything was super clean, appears brand new. We couldn't fault the place. Would definitely recommend.

Not what foreigners might be expecting
This is very much a hotel designed to be booked by the hour for couples to enjoy some alone time. I was trying to stay near some friends in Shinjuku for about 8 days and it was one of the only places that had rooms available online. The staff were lovely and tried to do what they could to make it feel like an actual hotel that foreigners might be used too. Culture shock.

Great hotel if you overcome its quirks
Most of my friends and colleagues are still shocked I stayed at a Japanese love hotel. I must say that it is a viable alternative if one overcomes its inherent quirks. First, one never sees the receptionist face to face. Think of a bank teller counter, except the glass partition is opaque. So all you ever see is the hand that gives you the room key. Speaking of the room key, whenever you leave the hotel, you must return it to front desk. When you come back, you ask for the key back, even if you are gone for a 10 minute 7-11 run. The room, hallway and elevator all reeked of cigarette odor. Be forewarned. Now the pluses. The room is huge by Japanese standards and comes with every amenities you will need. It even had a karaoke machine! All the VOD movies are free. Place is located in the middle of Kabukicho and less than a 10 minute walk to Shinjuku Station.

I think it’s good stay experience here, very kind clerks that actively help me with putting my luggages! When I went to this hotel, i was wet due to raining outside, the clerk proactively gave me towels and umbrella for free! Really nice and kind! I would suggest that you can stay this hotel yourself or with your friends! although it’s a motel and only for adults but the experience was good for me! Big room and nice clerk, own bath area, really good!

Nice big room with a large TV and vod. Spa and steam sauna and karaoke machine. This is our second stay here and we love. Make no mistake this is a love hotel and as such can be rented on an hourly basis. We stayed for a week this time, you don't get the same amount of amenities any where else in the same price range.

Big rooms and private sauna
We had no idea what the meaning of adult hotel meant when we booked this hotel. We were happily surprised though when we arrived to the hotel room, having our own sauna, bubble bath, tv in the bathroom, spacious room and a tv with a great selections of movies (Not just R-rated). The room was very clean and the staff super nice and helpful. The hotel is in the busy district Shinjuku that offers you food, party and shopping just outside the door. I would recommend this place for everyone who would like to put an extra goldline to their visit.

Dormire a kabuchiko
Questo Love motel (per coppiette ed amanti benestanti) è situato nel famoso quartiere di kanuchiko (il quartiere detto "a luci rosse" di shinjuku). Si trova in jna posizione strategica a 10 min a piedi dalla stazione di shinjuku ma lontani dal caos e dalla folla. È una struttura di medio alto livello con tutti i comfort che ci si aspetta da qiesto tipo di motel (vasca idromassaggio doppia, doccia separata, sauna, tv enorme), le camere sono molto ampie anche per le valige piú grandi (aspetto da non sottovalutare in Giappone). Il personale è estremamente gentile e disponibile anche per compiti che non gli competerebbero ( ci hanno aiutati a spedire le valige all hotel successivo compilando per noi le richieste scritte solo in giapponese). Una struttura consigliata che benchè leggermente più cara della media vale il prezzo pagato.
