The toilet and shower were also clean. Overall good value for the place especially visiting during an extremely busy time of year (New Years) in Hakone. The descriptions/reviews provided by other guest were pretty spot on. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Excellent location. Rooftop terrace very good. I am too old to get up from futon and also would liked a chair in bedroom. Gora is best place if you have only limited time in Hakone and the property is only a very short walk to transport. ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benito Alejandro Oct 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful spacious room, very accesible from station, friendly staff who kept our luggage early so we could explore more comfortable. ##### Benito Alejandro Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgia Mar 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super close to the train station and bus stops.

The Gaku hotel is maybe 10 minutes’ walk from the train station through the underground passageway. One public onsen is also about 10 minutes away on foot. Despite the very convenient location, the neighborhood is near-silent, very serene with a major park just up the hill. We heard no noise at all from our second-floor room. Our tatami was clean and airy, with air conditioning and extra bedding in the closet. The bathing facilities were separate but ample for all guests to use, uncrowded and unrushed. There was a communal kitchen and fridge, as well as vending machine, area to play pool. The same friendly Mr Ryogo Komuro who checked us carried my bag up the stairs from the street to the second floor room and later provided very detailed travel info for the limited time (2 days) we had available to enjoy the Hakone Loop with our Hakone Free Pass. Highly recommend this hotel, if you can do without the traditional ryokan experience with in-room meals and onsen! ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liam Feb 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful place, and awesome staff! ##### Liam Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robbie Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hostel ##### Robbie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maya Gabrielle Jul 28, 2024 Nice quaint place.

Very clean room with tatami mats. Bathroom and toilets are shared. ##### Iwan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kostadina Jan 23, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities At booking, I had made a mistake in dates and asked for a small change but was refused, thus losing a night’s payment of about £70\. When l stayed at the property, l was alone most of the time, so l know that the change of dates l had asked for could have easily been accommodated. When in Japan, it was extremely difficult to reach the property on the phone. I had to seek assistance from Expedia on every step. At the property itself, no maintenance whatsoever — garbage was not picked up a single time during my week-long stay. With the exception of a staff member called Yogi who tried to be nice,, the rest was disappointing. Expedia should not be promoting this place. ##### Kostadina Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chi Pan Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 有行李箱的客人要走樓梯，不過職員人很好，有幫忙搬上去 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3e239026-f148-4c1a-9a8e-07555ca167f7-1754419453163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chi Pan Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### ???

The room is originally for three people but the hostel nicely provided another futon for a fee. It was so cold when we stayed at the hostel so we didn't get to hang out at the rooftop but we enjoyed playing pool and table tennis on the first floor. We also needed duct tape for my luggage--good thing they had one. The hostel smells nice, too! ##### KarenKim Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Angel Jan 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Para nada lo esperado, reservamos una habitación de 4 personas aunque nos íbamos a alojar solo dos, pues la habitación era pequeña. En la descripción no mencionaba que fuera de baño compartido y para estar en invierno tenian la calefacción apagada y tenias que encenderla tu al llegar teniendo que estar en un habitación congelada hasta que se consiguiera calentar pasadas algunas horas, ademas la ventana tenia una grieta en el cristal. ##### Angel Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mamachi, Paris Jan 2, 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Toutes les chambres étaient en piteux état et l’établissement sentait l’humidité et le renfermé. De la naphtaline partout pour tenter de masquer les odeurs ! De plus loger à Gora qui est une ville morte et sans aucun attrait n’est vraiment pas une bonne idée. Seuil l’accueil était sympathique. ##### Mamachi Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Feel comfortable.

The staff were friendly and able to speak English. They are very helpful too. Great location. Moving around is very convenient. During our stay, the cable car is under maintenance. It was replaced by buses. There was a common lounge and cooking area. There's aldona rooftop where one can relax there.
