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.

The room is spacious. No elevator, it's can be tough to carry heavy luggage up and down. There's only public bath, no private shower. It's a quiet area, most stores and restaurants are closed after 5 pm, and before 9 am. Short distance from buses, but a bit challenging for walking with luggage, and good luck if you can find a taxi in the area.

The building was old but very well furnished! Comfortable rooms, spacious. The onsen was fantastic. The guest house was understaffed, but the receptionist was kind. I would absolutely reccomend this place to stay, especially to make use of the Hakone FreePass! The Ropeway and the pirate ship were 15 minites away walking and the bus stop for the H and J lines were right outside the property.

Quiet place but kind of remote, a decent walk to get down to the Lake. The facility has no elevator but is only two floors. Most of the restaurants in the area close early and the hotel doesn’t have a Cafeteria / Restaurant, just vending machines and a concession stand.

There is not much dining options around this hotel. The counter has some snacks and instant noodles, and there are vending machines selling microwave food. Which are rather poor choices of food. My toilet also reeks of urine stench. Because the toilet is separate from the shower and there is no drainage in the toilet floor, you can’t wash the toilet and get rid of the stench. The room makes use of motion sensors for lighting in certain areas. You can brush your teeth at the sink directly behind the door, but the light will turn off around 30 seconds and you will have to activate the motion sensor again while still brushing your teeth. If the hotel can make improvement on these areas, then the stay will be more enjoyable and less stressful.
