Great!

I didn't realise this was a love hotel before booking, and probably wouldn't have booked it if we'd known. What a mistake that would have been apart from the talking point back home. I'm sure there are some seedy ones, but love hotels are quite common in Japan for those that live with parents etc. There was nothing seedy that we saw in the 6 days we were there. The room was enormous, the bed was enormous, the bathroom was enormous and the double jacuzzi bath was amazing. The decor was a bit tired in places and the breakfasts (both Japanese style and Western) were not the best but edible. We had a fridge, massage chair, massive TV, projector and screen, sofa, eating area, and it's up to you if you want to use the vibrator or something from the vending machine. I would quite happily stay here again and recommend it to anybody who's open-minded. We also had free and ample parking and about a 10/15-minute walk to the local train station. Multiple convenience stores around and albeit not too many restaurants, there were many on the walk to the train station.

Spacious with a huge bathtub. Very nice!

I’ve stayed at one of the hotels sister facilities as well We love the large rooms great service Breakfast is not quite up to par and location is a 15 min walk to Takeda station but, it’s all worth it because the facility is great

It’s 15 min daily walk to Takeda station south of Kyoto station It is out of the way but, the room is 4 times bigger than the typical Japanese hotel room for a reasonable price Breakfast is its weak spot besides the location but, If you want a big bed a big bathroom, ours had a sauna and steam room a huge tv good internet It is worth it This is our 3 rd stay at one of the lotus sister Hotels Our go to place in Kyoto If you want to stay near arishiyama Try hotel Sagano I don’t know if it is a sister hotel but same large amenities

10/10 stay at Hotel & Spa Lotus. This hotel was booked for me and my wife's travel to Kyoto during the golden week. Trust me, this is the best hotel in Kyoto with so many amenities, huge rooms, room facilities for food. The bathroom had a jacuzzi with a television! There was a massage chair, huge TV in the room, in-room match tea experience, water purifier and many more. Although they present the hotel as an adult hotel, but it is very safe, comfortable for any couple. The breakfast options were limited, and the hotel was slighly away from the Kyoto central, but with 2 mins of walking there were many 7-elevens and Lawson shops and even restaurants. Compared to expensive business hotels, this was a much better choice and highly recommended. If you want a detailed video review, please check us on youtube: @TheSuitcaseCouple.

Huge Japanese styled suites

The breakfast was amazing and the staff were all so friendly and helpful!

The property is amazing, i was upgraded to royal upon arrival. The room is very large with all aminities u want, (massage chair, jackuzi, sauna, steam, out door hot tub) they provide basic in room breakfast but was not bad. The only problem i had was that the property is far from city center and transportation was not that easy or the best, but i knew this before and was okay with the idea.

I thought this place was amazing - the room was so beautiful and spacious, the customer service was great and I love how peaceful and tranquil it was being in the hotel. The free amenities were enjoyable and I just overall had the best stay at rhis hotel. Also 7-Eleven is just a short walk around the corner where you can grab your late night snacks as well as get your luggage services done. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The staff was very friendly. She didnt know much english but she did her best to accommodate us and we did our best to communicate to her as well. We stayed here for the size of the rooms and the outdoor spa. Yes i know it is a love hotel but that was fine for us. It meant the visitors we quite and so was the area. 15 min max. Walk to the train station was about

Hotel spa and lotus was a beautiful stay and location. We didn't realise at the time of booking that it was a "love hotel" but that didn't make it any less special, it is very respectful, clean and relaxing. There was plenty of toiletries, shamppoo, conditioner, body wash, facial wash, moisturiser, toothbrushes, hairbrush hair clips, razors, cotton pads and cotton buds. There is a beautiful spa bath with bubble bath and salts. There is a big tv where you can login to your own Netflix or Youtube and in our room there was also a massage chair, perfect after a lot of walking every day. We havd a complimentary breakfast and beverage every day with a choice of japanese or western breakfast There was great room service menu with one complimentary drink a day and a fully stocked, reasonably priced mini bar. The staff were very friendly and acoomodating. You give your key before leaving every day so they can clean the room. There is a lovely rooftop bath that you can book for personal use, you can use a pool table, darts and karaoke. there are complimentary sweets and bath salts and kimonos you can wear in reception. there is a train station about 10 minutes walk from the hotel with links to Kyoto where you can get trains to everywhere and is a bustling town with lots to see and do. We got taxis occasionally with the GO app which arrives within 5 minutes of booking for rainy days and when we couldnt get our head around the transport links

Weird vibe

Management is clearly taking steps to improve the quality of the property. Clean and Inviting.

We’ve really enjoyed our stay in the hotel. Everything was excellent and beyond our expectations. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Best accommodation we stayed in when travelling to Japan. Really big rooms, amazing breakfast, and the staff were the kindest. I highly recommend staying here! I definitely for sure will the next time I visit Japan.

This is an excellent hotel for couples looking for relaxation and bonding. Staff were helpful and courteous.

Good ^^

Everyone was very nice and helpful. When checking in knock on the staff door to get their attention as they don’t actively stay at the front desk. Overall it was really nice and understand this is a love hotel but still good!

Fantastic for a couple. It was our honeymoon vacation, and we enjoyed this hotel the most out of all of them. It’s a love hotel. This concept means the staff is rarely seen and the idea is to have a “private” spa all to yourselves. These are uniquely a Japanese concept, so the English is so-so to not at all. But they are extremely friendly and google/Apple translate will get you through what you need. I recommend learning basic ordering vocabulary before you come, just to make it easy though. Don’t forget your phone can translate images too, so that will get you through the menus as well. Also, sometimes, they don’t notice you standing at the front desk through the camera. A polite knock and a “sumimasen” will get someone to come say hi. The front desk is on the second floor. Also, don’t worry about the “check out every day part” that’s them deep cleaning all the rooms. Your luggage can stay in the room. Just go sight see or explore, that’s what a vacation is for right? Takeda station is only a 15 minute walk away.
