Fantastic & strange

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

The staff is friendly and they offer transportation to and from the train station when you arrive and check out. The rooms have a lot of space. The rooms need to be deep cleaned, there was a lot of mold and grime. The toilet room smells like a porta-potty 24/7, the AC does not work well and we woke up sweating multiple times a night. The bed had hair on it that was not ours and the carpet needed to be vacuumed.

Love hotel near arashiyama

This is a love hotel so it's an odd choice for hotels.com to have but the location is great if you want to stay near the arashiyama monkey park and bamboo street. It's not the cleanest (lots of random pubic hair) but the owners are sweet and will shuffle you around to train stations.

Great hotel

Very happy with my stay at this hotel. The room was great. Very Spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom and living area. Breakfast was also provided every morning which was appreciated. The location is also great as it is right next to the Arashiyama monkey park and other tourist spots such as the path of bamboo and Tenryuu-ji. The service was brilliant. The couple that runs the hotel were very friendly and helpful at all times. They drove us to our destination every morning which we were very grateful for. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to visit Kyoto.

THIS IS A LOVE HOTEL and it's Gross...

The hotel was nothing like the site said. It was an 18 min walk from the train and had flashing neon lights on it when we arrived. We went in and were greeted by a hostess in her pajama pants who lead us up to the room, pushed us in, and all of a sudden we were video calling a translator. I did NOT want to be on camera after a full day of travel from Tokyo and Osaka. We were told that the door automatically locks, which should be a given, but we learned quickly that we were actually locked in. WE COULD NOT GET IN OR OUT OF OUR ROOM WITHOUT ASKING TO BE LET OUT. The remote had an "adult films" option and there was a box of kleenex embedded into the headboard... We are two females who are NOT lovers... There were stains in the carpet and on the bed, cigarette burns in the furniture (despite asking for a non-smoking room), and a dead cockroach in a trap under the sink. God only knows how long that thing was there... They wouldn't give us our money back and we felt like prisoners until we sacrificed our money and left the next morning without checking out.

Important info on how to call the hotel owner

Important! Owner is fantastic. Call him at 075-871-8817. He will pick you up at any of the 3 train stations close by. We stayed 3 nights. He also took us to the train station in the morning. This is classified as a love hotel The hotel is next to the river, it is quiet but the service you get is outstanding. Arashiyama is were the Bamboo Forest is, a must see, the Tagetsu-kyo bridge across the river is famous, there is a temple there and it is a small town feel. I 1st went to Japan some 40 years ago. This was like visiting Japan back then, all without the big buildings and traffic, though there is foot traffic from all the visitors. The Bamboo Forest is gorgeous. Plenty of resturants and 3 train stations. The JR Line Hunkyu line and the Randen (Romance train)

An Unusual Experience

The host was extremely hospitable except that she didn't understand English and communicated via google translate. We booked a triple room but she offered us 2 separate rooms which was a plus. However, just a point to note, there isn't a key system. Once the door is closed you would need to dial 9 to get it opened. Simple sandwich and coffee is served through an opening in the door. May not be too suitable for family with kids. But it was an interesting experience.

Sleazy and TERRIBLE!!! Avoid!!!

This is by no means a HOTEL in the sense that Expedia refers to a Hotel. It should be removed from the hotel list. Once you are in the room, you're locked in and cannot get out. You have to call the "reception" to open the door for you to let you out. Your meals are "given" to you like in prison, through a hatch in the door. When you open the door a Condom machine faces you. A couple of gratis condoms are provided in a bowl next to your bed. Did I say sleazy??? Need i say more? AVOID!!!

Worse experiene ever! Beware!

When we arrived in Kyoto on Sept. 19, we went to the Hotel Sagano and dropped off our luggage. We thought it was strange that they did not use room keys. Then we toured the area. When we returned to the station, we asked at the tourist information center for the phone number to call the hotel to pick us up. We were told that the hotel was not on their list. Another worker there told us the hotel was not “proper,” that it was a “love hotel.” That’s why they didn’t use keys. My wife, niece, and 2 adult boys were flabbergasted. We had no idea the hotel was that kind. I re-checked the listing on Hotels.com, and all it said was Adults Only. I had no idea what that meant. I thought it was because little children run around and cause noise, or something like that. If I had known, I would never have booked the hotel. Also, I expected better from Hotels.com, which I used in Odawara, and many friends recommended to me. Hotels.com says they can not reach the hotel manager to get us a refund. I will never use Hotels.com again. Nor Expedia, who sent us to Hotels.com.

Unexpected surprise, not for everyone

Hotels in kyoto were all booked or $400+ per night because of festival. This was all that was left. It was an adults-only hotel. We were naive and did not know what this was. Very dark, secretive lobby. Room was comfortable, however. Owner was very nice - lent us his own bikes to ride into town for dinner; gave us free car ride to JR train station; gave us free sandwiches and coffee each morning for 2 days. Hotel is way out of town but 15 or 20 minute walk to JR train station and to another local rail line. Also 15- minute walk to one of the big temple sites on northwest side of town
