Unique Hotels in Nagasaki and Tokyo area. Robot Hotel (real name: Henna Hotel) Updated in 2017

We introduced Mongolia theme hotel in Tochigi and Night train hotel in Tokyo, and got quite good feedback. So we decided to introduce a bit more for you to see something interesting during your trip to Japan.

 

When you travel to Japan, you may think of something futuristic about the country. How about staying at a robot hotel? It is basically "managed by" robots in Japan.

 

140 robots work in one robot hotel (and 7 humans).  The owner of the two robot hotels, Huis Ten Bosch CEO Mr. Hideo Sawada (who is a real human being "for now" ), says that the company plans to open 100 robot hotels around the world including Taiwan and Shanghai.

 

The hotel announced that there shall be 5 more robot hotels in Tokyo, 2 hotels in Osaka, one in Fukuoka.

 

The robot hotel (Henna hotel) near Tokyo opened. You can book it from the below. [Updated in 2017]

Name: Henna Hotel ( meaning "strange" hotel in Japanese)

Not as robotic as you expect

As a precaution, we need to share some experiences about the hotel (so that you will not get disappointed):

 

There will be many human staff (of course!).

 

You may like the face recognition key to open the lock of your room (something we have not seen in other hotel).

 

The reception robots do not check in for you. You need to do the check in by yourself on a touch screen in front of the reception robot.

 

Room robots (Turi) do not know many words and can not really communicate with you well. Sometimes it speaks automatically and annoying so some people pull the plug of the robot to shut it up.

 

your bed cover/sheets will not be changed after the first night...as the hotel focused on the simplicity... some may find it not so good.

Any experience from your side?
