"Beautiful hotel in the middle of Hakone mountains. The hot springs were amazing and so relaxing. Dinner and breakfast were spectacular with so many options to choose and try. All my family loved and we want to come back."
"Staff is very helpful and professional.
Dinner buffet is great and lots of options. The breakfast buffet is good.
The property looks a bit old and overrated for the price. I stayed in a condominium (A) and I found the bed to be very uncomfortable and as a matter of fact terrible. The lighting in the room is not great.
The property is about 2-3 minutes walk from the station but there is nothing to do in the area."
"Staff was amazing— so attentive and polite. Room was clean and well-maintained - nice
Mix of modern and traditional Japanese ryokan. Enjoyed the Kaiseki dinner and breakfast that was served in our room. Convenient hotel free shuttle to the train station. We will definitely be back again!"
"Our only disappointment was the room. We were given the furthest ground-floor room, 101, and if we stayed again I wouldn’t accept it.
However, if you prefer a closed-in garden view then this location might suit you. Personally, we didn’t enjoy it. My review reflects my personal preference.
We had no issues with the other areas of the hotel. In fact, the location was great, right next to the ropeway (cable car station) and at the start and end of the Ashi Lake tour."
"The place is great being brand new, its so clean, and so good to have your private onsen. Only thing i can complain about is not having enough mirrors like in the toilet upstair."
"The whole experience was lovely. The hotel was so peaceful, the staff so kind, and the food delectable. The public onsen was the perfect way to relax after a long day of travel. Such a unique experience, highly recommend!"
