The staff that help us was extremely helpful. We stayed for one night and it was very nice. The onsen was needed at the end of day to soak. The only think was there was an extra charge of 6.00 CAnwas on the website and there is nothing close by if you did not bringAN witch I do not recall

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet, quaint, simple and still room for 4 (2 parents 2 teens). It's a great location for the lake activities. A car rental is recommended.

Enjoyed staying here! Quiet and comfortable. I think it would be a lot easier to get around if stayed in Gora though. Also didn’t realize it was a shared bath (no shower/bath in room) but it was nice. There is also an additional fee you have to pay at the property for the bath (hot springs).

I stayed in the dormitories for 2 nights, at a pretty cheap price, considering they have onsen inside. Very clean and friendly staff. 100% recommended.

It’s surprising to get poor service in Japan. The front desk wasn’t available and when they were there they were rude. They stated I had to pay for the Onsen even though I couldn’t attend it, then when I paid they didn’t give me back my change until I asked for it. During check out I waited for 30 minutes for them to show up and answer questions, but they didn’t show up so I just left. Definitely do not recommend.

部屋は清潔で広々しています。部屋にはシャワーはありませんでしたが、大浴場があり、ここも良かったです。 ただ、冷凍のカレーやカップ麺はあるもののまともな食事を取れるサービスはありませんでした。周りにお店もありません。夕食を取らずにチェックインすると、事実上、まともな食事はできません。朝食も同様です。 チェックインは、16時からでしたが、それまでフロントには人はいませんでした。また、フロントは21時までで、サービスを終了します。朝もフロントには人がいませんので、箱に鍵を入れてチェックアウトです。 価格が安いので、合理的なサービスとなっていると思いました。 駐車場はあるので、車で宿泊する人には、良いホテルだと思います。

Très bien !

Parking avec places disponibles en mai sans souci. Cela semble peu pratique sans voiture si vous voulez manger dehors etc car peu de choses dispos à pieds. Onsen vraiment très propre et avec des produits à disposition : différents gel douches/ shampoing et conditionner. Ce sont les meilleurs produits qu’on ait eu dans les onsens. Propreté impeccable. Nourriture rapide à disposition en vente à la réception ou via des machines. Attention de bien avoir en tête que les chambres n’ont pas de salles de bain : seulement lavabo et toilette. Il faut donc se doucher dans les onsens (nus, non mixtes).

Acceptable stay for the price paid

A stay on the cheaper side of the usual Hakone pricing. Very big room. The public bath was not well maintained, and therefore not enjoyable to use. Location is not ideal but not a big issue if you have a car available.

Propiedad muy lejos de la estación de autobús/teleferico, 20 minutos a pie de subida, no ofrecen transporte ida o vuelta a la estación, sin personal entre 9 de la noche y 8 de la mañana, el personal no habla ni un poco de inglés y son groseros, no resuelven dudas, las instalaciones del hotel ya están anticuadas, televisión solo con 4 canales, no hay nada que hacer en el hotel ni en sus cercanías después de las 6 de la tarde.

We didn't feel welcome at all. We arrived a little early with a little kid. Unfortunately we could not check in an hour before check in time even so the room was ready. No reason, no explanation. The hotel seems very money oriented. Everyone has to pay an extra fee for the onsen, even if you don't plan to use it. You have to pay if you want to leave your bags a couple hours after check-out.
