No Bulls at the Love Hotel Pamplona in Osaka

We've tried looking outside Osaka for some hotel lovin', but apart from Tokyo's very colorful Hotel J Girl they just don't stack up in terms of weird features, kinky rooms and razzle dazzle. So it's back to Osaka where we're thinking of trying out the Hotel Pamplona, because staying in a love hotel sounds like something that really should be likened to the running of the bulls, agreed?
Situated in downtown Dotonbori (the heart of Osaka, and the name of the river as well as the main street), Hotel Pamplona meets our requirements by having a colorfully interesting front door and some really weird stuff going on inside.

One room--the SM room--features bright red walls and carpet and a circular bed with a cage around it. Another room in the basement looks more like a torture chamber, but is actually called the Party Room. And there's even another Hello Kitty-themed room, since the Pamplona is actually run by the same wacky people that created the Hello Kitty SM room at Hotel Adonis.
Find the Hotel Pamplona a short walk from the Namba train station and check their website for an interesting diagram on the ever-changing price system--the site is in Japanese but you can read the times, follow the color-coding and check the different prices per hour, listed in Japanese yen and ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 Yen per hour; there are also "all night" rates if you check in after 9pm. Or at least that's what our humble Japanese interpretation makes us think.
