"As long as you know it’s a love hotel, this is a decent place to stay on a budget. The room is well furnished, great bath, and most appreciated was the friendly and proactive réception desk which helped alleviate the quiet awkwardness of checking in. The bed wasn’t super comfortable, but the window opened out on a beautiful garden, very quiet!"

"Selected to stay after drinking in Gion area with my KYOTO friends.
The fee would be reasonable even for young people. (I'm in 50s.)
The master is friendly and guests are also.
I had some talking time with other foreign guests, which was so interesting and happy time.
The room is just that of a modest house and you can hear every noises of the next room. So not suitable for business use. For those who can even enjoy such environments."

The staff were outstanding could not have been nicer or more helpful. They went out of their way to help me. The room was really cosy and comfortable. The amenities were outstanding. Happy hour with free beer was a very welcome treat. Common areas were very welcoming and cosy with lots of designated areas for people wanting to work, chat or just chill. It was the best of all the hotels I stayed in during my Japan trip.

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...

So we didn’t realise it was a sex hotel & went as a family yet the service was fantastic & strange we were provided a ride to local places such as train station pick up & bamboo forest, great Japanese restaurants 10 mins walk
Strangely you are locked in the room & must call reception to be let out yet the rooms are spacious with unique designs & all sexual extras are optional so you can forget you are staying in a broffle

Northern Kyoto is a paradise for discerning travellers seeking a blend of culture, nature, and relaxation. Start your journey at the iconic Kinkaku-ji, or the Golden Pavilion, where the shimmering gold leaf facade reflects beautifully in the surrounding pond, offering a tranquil atmosphere perfect for contemplation. Just a short distance away, the Ryoan-ji Zen garden invites you to experience the peacefulness of Japanese rock gardens, ideal for families to explore and ponder the art of simplicity. For a taste of local craftsmanship, head to the Kyoto Handicraft Centre, where you can try your hand at traditional crafts such as pottery or fabric dyeing, a delightful activity for both adults and children alike. Don’t miss a hike through the stunning landscapes of the Kurama and Kibune area, where you can enjoy breathtaking views and rejuvenating hot springs. After a day of exploration, consider staying in the charming neighbourhood of Arashiyama, known for its picturesque bamboo grove and serene river views. Here, top hotels like ryokans offer a unique experience with tatami mats and onsen baths, ensuring your family feels pampered and well taken care of during your stay.
