Hotel and Spa Lotus Modern (Adult Only)

We didn't know this was a love hotel (because it was not really mentioned on Booking.com), until our Japanese friends told us. We were a little bit afraid that it would be like a dirty motel or something, but it exceeded our expectations in a positive way. We really loved our stay here and would definitely stay here again! You get a lot for what you pay for. The room was spacious with loooots of amenities (hairclips, haircomb, bathsalt, hair wax, razors, tootbrushes...). At the reception, there were also lots of amenities, like free candy, chips, bath salt, alcoholgel, earplugs, popcorn... The hottub in the showerroom was great. The bathroom even had airco. It was all very clean, the room was cleaned every day with fresh towels and new amenities. A big plus was the free food and drinks and the breakfast of choice. You could also choose food (to pay) from a large menu. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. They did everything they could for us. We loved using the free karaoke room and playing biljart/darts! Massagechair and huge television in the room.

The beds were very hard. Our first room smelled like smoke, but we could change our room to a non-smoking room, which smelled a lot less like smoke. Smoking rooms are just a thing in Japan... It's a 18 minute walk to the metro station, but the neighbourhood is fine. You will notice it's a love hotel, because the lamps at the reception are hanging low (covers faces), the food and breakfast is brought to your room via a hatch, the windows are blinded, there is a closet with sextoys, flyers with special costumes in the room... It didn't bother us, but just so you know. It was all very discrete so maybe you won't even notice if you don't know. 🙂

- Great big rooms - lot of things they had were for free especially for the spa in the room - friendly staff, they do struggle to speak English but they try their best!

- The bed was very hard, I couldn't sleep on my side because it hurt - the shower and bathroom tiles were coming out and water was under tiles when stepped on - location isn't the best, nearest station was a 16 minute walk - if you want a quiet little stay this is the place but if you want the city close to you then maybe stay close by it - not a bad place but wasn't for me

Massive room so much included must book best place so far nothing compares 100% coming back lovely staff breakfast is good and free snacks, bath bombs and spa bath

Nothing maybe just a 15 min walk to the nearest station but well worth it for the hotel

The room was huge, comfortable, and awesome. We specially appreciated the jacuzzi and the massage chair. Breakfast was included and was tasty. There were plenty of amenities. We loved it.

It was a bit far for our goal of visiting Kyoto but we would definitely come back again!

A great hotel. So many free amenities avalible which was great!! It was a fun couple of nights. Staff were incredible!

The bed was rock solid! Be aware if you are staying for more than a night or two. Also a 15+ walk to nearest station which can be a bit of a pain with bags.

The bathroom is bigger than most Japanese hotel rooms King size bed in Japan? Coach? 80 in tv screen Just the location is bad about 18 min walk to Takeda station then 10 min 4 stops to Kyoto station The size of the room made it worth walking everyday

Walking

The room is huge the bathroom alone is bigger than the holiday Inn I stayed at in Kanazawa Breakfast could have more variety and be better

20 minute walk to Kateda station everyday for 4 days a bit tedious But for the bigger room it is acceptable

The room is very spacious with sofa, huge TV screen ; everything is very modern; there are freebies you can take from the front desk ; free parking

Nothing This place will be inconvenient if you don’t have a car

Beautiful rooms, very romantic. The staff were great, and helped to work through the language barrier

Some items didn’t work (the bubbles in the outside tub)

Wow this hotel was stunning. My room had an enormous spa jacuzzi bath just what I needed after a long day of travelling. Everyone was so helpful and friendly
