"After spending 18 days in various hostels around Japan, and hundreds of days around the world, this one had been my absolute favorite. The best sleep I have gotten on my trip and the breakfast was an amazing treat. Walking distance to most sights."

"Overall it is a decent stay. I enjoyed the onsen, breakfast, and how big the rooms are. It is located right by gora station which makes it easier to travel. Walking distance from the open air museum, plenty of low key restaurants, and day-use onsens. There is a bit of noise in early morning & night since it’s on a busy street."

"I liked the friendly staff. The style of the house is really nice. The only thing I didn’t like was that the washer and dryer is outdated and the washer only uses cold water for the price I paid it is expensive."

"this was a very unique hotel, the hospitality from the staff was extraordinary, the ambience was Zen, the onsen was clean and warm, with a perfect Mt Fuji view. Loved every bit of our stay :) can’t wait to come
back again!"
"It does take about an hour of a cramped and winding busride to get to the hotel from Odawara Station, but on the other hand the bus stops right by the hotel, and once you're here you're just across the street from Togendai where both the famous ropeway and pirate ships start their tours.
The hotel has a luxurious feel to it with the foot bath overlooking the lake by the lobby and the rooms feeling pretty spacious, especially the ones with a private tub on the balcony which is 10/10.
The baths are great, though they aren't the hottest we've tried on our trip, they come in so many versions with both silky bath and outdoor pools where the view varies between morning and afternoon when men and women switch sides. Tattoos are allowed if you cover them up, and the hotel sells covers on the lobby if you forgot them.
In some places the hotel is starting to show its age which made me sad, but it still feels like the staff cares about making your stay as perfect as possible with how smooth everything runs.
We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day and enjoyed both, there's a good mix of Japanese and western food so everyone can find what they're looking for - be that natto or croissants."
YuYu Hakone - Private Open Air Onsen Usage Guaranteed
10/10 Excellent
"Bus stop right out front and convenient to the ropeway stop. Beat the crowds and go clockwise (ship, ropeway, then cable car). Black eggs stop worth it. Need cash if not using the H or K buses. Hakone pass was worth it as it covered the ferry, ropeway, cable car and H and K busses.
The private onsen was really good after a day out. You book it for an hour and is included in your booking.
Room #1 has its own shower, others use the onsen showers."
"LOVED our stay here! Initially when we were looking into booking, we thought it was expensive but figured... Why not, it's our honeymoon and who knows if we'll ever get another opportunity to book something like this. Honestly... Worth every penny!! We booked the room with the private onsen and it was wonderful. The onsen itself was really nice to have after all the walking we did. We also had our breakfast and dinner included and it was delicious! Would recommend this place to others and would definitely come back! Staff was also so friendly and accommodating!"
"If you’re traveling to Hakone, this hotel offers a private in-room hot spring. I would highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking to relax. The room is large and spacious, and so is the bath and shower. It was truly a relaxing few days that I spent in Hakone."
"Very clean and organized hotel. They are very strick as to check-in time. Guest form a line to check-in at 3pm. They have a courtesy shuttle bus between train station to hotel . Also storage lockers at no charge are available. Excelent breakfast ."
"We stayed for 1 night. The hotel rooms was large and spacious; however dated. The breakfast buffet was delicious. We had dinner at the Japanese restaurant which was also delicious."
"Rooms were very clean. Staff were courteous and very helpful in answering any questions we had. Breakfast provided was tasty and you can help yourself to coffee, tea and juices. Fast and friendly service.
Used the shuttle service to and from station. Make sure you book your time before checkout, slots get filled up.
My group walked to the lake, and nearby grocery and convenience stores."
