I stayed at the hotel only for sleep. I even have a chance to enjoy "onsen" because of my limited time. I didn't have an opportunity to talk with the staff very much because I arrived there after 10 P.M. The parking was large enough and well arranged, so I could easily put my vehicle. The dormitory type room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There is always the potential problem because of the room type... snoring and chatting by other guests in the nighttime were somewhat bothering, However, over all, my experience was good.

Great location

The hotel is close to the Ropeway and Pirate ship, as well as a mainbus station and so perfect for getting around. I had a huge room with a great view of the lake. The public bath was also great. Yes, its outdated and there's a strange smell, but dont let that put you off, you will have a great time here.

Simple stay

It was good; it met expectations in that it was just a stay in Hakone. It is a shared bath, and the vending machine food isn't that great. The nearest convenience store is a 1-hour walk from the stay, and most restaurants close around 3 or 4. The bus stop is a short walk away.

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).

Not the cleanest place I’d ever stayed in and it’s definitely dated but you get what you pay for. The rooms are huge western size, more than enough room for two people and to spread luggage everywhere too. The gentlemen on reception was very polite and helpful, had a translation device to hand for a few of my more complex requests.

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.

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.
