We are a retired couple who stayed at this hotel for a week. Room size, facilities and location were all paramount in us choosing the Emperor, as opposed to other typically cramped Tokyo hotels we have stayed in before. We paid up front and were free to come and go whenever we wished. This presumably eliminates the issue some visitors have mentioned about being locked in their rooms. It is all very discrete, as one would expect. On returning to the hotel at night, you pick up the telephone at reception, tell them your room number and your door is automatically opened. It was all very easy. We paid a small extra charge for a non smoking room at the time of booking; the whole 6th floor appears to be non smoking. The room came with a sauna and a jacuzzi bath, neither of which we used. The shower was excellent and the location was perfect; a quiet neighborhood by the river, less than a ten minute walk from Meguro station, where you can access the all important JR Yamanote line. There is a wonderful revolving sushi restaurant behind a supermarket near the station and even a fleeting view of Mount Fuji when returning to the hotel via the steeper route. Note that you don’t have to use the steep road to the station if you have luggage, as there is a more user friendly way. It was a very interesting experience and we would certainly return !

The sofa needs cleaning/ replacing and we had to turn the mattress to make it more comfortable. Otherwise, the room was clean and remarkably well appointed. Wi FI does not require a password and was adequate. We just about learned the correct technique for turning off the room light console. One of life’s little challenges.

Huge room, very comfortable bed, tons and tons of amenities that were refreshed daily, great value compared to business hotels. Besides the adult channels on the TV, it’s not at all what you might think when you think “love hotel” — very elegant and clean, attentive and discreet staff. Tip for foreigners who don’t speak Japanese: at check-in time, you go in, there won’t be anyone there in the lobby, pick up the phone and say “Booking.com”, they’ll tell you which room is yours, go there and the door will be unlocked, and then you’re in! From then on, you don’t get a key but you just do the same thing everything you come back. It’s really easy and worth it!

It was a little inconvenient to only be able to check in from 9-11pm — but you can leave your luggage at a locker in Meguro Station until then, and once you’re checked in you can come and go freely for multiple nights which is rare for a love hotel! The only detail is you have to be out of the room from 7-8pm because that’s when their system switches over, but that wasn’t difficult for us at all, we were already out and about eating dinner at that time anyways.

The room is big, toilet is in separate room and shower (shower with jacuzzi bath) is in separate room also. There are 3 taps with sinks: (1) to wash hands after toilet, (2) for cosmetics and (3) in the mini-kitchen. There is also sauna in another separate room.

No wardrobe. The staff is hiding in the closed room. It is "love hotel", but we are just foreign tourists and if I wanted to ask a question - it was difficult to get them. When I tried to ask (by google translate) - they know nothing about trains, local flights or any info for tourists. There is no touristic help. I think these are the rules of "love hotels".

I had an excellent experience at this hotel! The rooms are very clean, well-maintained, and extremely comfortable – the perfect place to relax after a busy day. The location is ideal: very accessible and perfectly connected with public transport, making it easy to reach any part of the city. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant, peaceful, and convenient stay in a vibrant city!

Room was very spacy with a lot on the bathroom side (it's a love hotel after all) : big bathtub and various equipments. Also comfortable bed and sofa. The location is really good being close to multiple places in Tokyo considering that Meguro is connected to the Yamanote Line. The Meguro station however is reasonably uphill compared to the hotel that is on the Meguro riverbank so it can be a hindrance. Staff is considerate to international visitors even if that's not the main aim of the place as you still can leave your luggage before the stay if needed.

As obvious as it may be, one has to be aware when booking that this is not a resort but a love hotel with the specific way to run the place (closed room, no key, call to front desk for going out). It's a not a good or bad thing, it's just how it is but it's best to know before booking. I would not advise to pick such a place for a long stay though

The level amenities is UNPARALLELED. Private sauna. Curling iron, blow dryer, 6 steps of skin care routine, all the bath goodies, hair tonic, -- you name it. A fully en suite room, in this location, at this price? Incredible. When you're used to staying 11sqm business hotels in Tokyo, this is absolute luxury.

The lack of a key system is quite confusing for people not using it as a love hotel but a regular stay. I'm not sure how to re-enter the room but I'm sure the staff could help if asked. For discretionary reasons, they make it self-check in/check out system.

The location was fantastic, and the bonus was the Cherry Blossoms right outside our door, so fantastic. The reception also gave us 2 umbrellas when leaving because it was raining and we didn't have one.

The room smelt of cigarette smoke, which wasn't nice at all, and you had to notify reception when you wanted to get back into your room as no keys were supplied. The 9pm check-in was definitely not good, but that was my fault as I didn't read the details fully, but I do think they could let you check in earlier as we didn't see one other person the whole time we were there.

The staff was professional, and definitely as love hotel, they give you privacy. Room was spacious and good. Also theres a sauna in the room. like that's a bonus if you enjoy good sauna before a bubble bath :> for first time experiencing love hotel, I enjoyed the stay and how comfortable the bed and pillows were! also amount of light adjustments you could do... :)) If you don't know what love hotel is about, def check YouTube vids out and to know what you are expecting... or you will be disappointed

The hair styler didn't work :( (I let the receptionist know) also it is down hill/up hill so I recommend to only visit if you don't have lot of luggage (mine was sent to my next destination using Takkyubin)

The staff are helpful, but they don't speak English so it's better if you can speak a bit of Japanese. The room is spacious with a lot of facilities like a jacuzzi and sauna, they also provide a lot of amenities like skin care, facial mask sheet, etc. Although the furniture looks old, they're pretty clean. I have to emphasize that the bed is really comfy! I always had a good night's sleep while staying. They don't give out the key for your room, but once you leave and come back later, all you need to do is call the front desk with the telephone at the lobby and say your room number, they will unlock it for you, it's pretty simple.

I wish there was a washing machine, either in the room or shared

The room is spacious, bed is comfortable. Nice to have a private little sauna and jacuzzi. Lots of toiletries. As someone else mentioned you can store your luggage at Meguro station and walk around and have your dinner till 9pm when is check-in time. This is not ideal but the location and price makes it worth the trouble. Hotel is situated beside the Meguro river, about 10 minutes walk from Meguro station which is well connected to other parts of Tokyo. Another weird thing is that there's no key, you have to pick up the phone from the lobby to call reception and they unlock your door. Staff speaks no English but they have a little translation device so no problem. As long as you know what to expect, everything is ok.

The smell of cigarets. Unfortunately non-smocking room wasn't available when i booked. But we left the window open all day and it was better the next night.
