My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, though a bit challenging to find, turned out to be more like spacious suites with lovely mountain views. The service was satisfactory, with the staff being friendly and accommodating. The location was great, just a short walk from the train station. Dining was a mix of authentic Japanese cuisine and simpler options. Overall, a decent choice with good value for money.

The hotel has a mix of traditional Japanese flair and modern convenience. The rooms are cozy but small with authentic Japanese elements like a kotatsu and open-air Onsen. The service is a bit lacking in English but the staff is helpful and you can even wear traditional Japanese outfits. The location is easily walkable from Hakone Yumoto station with friendly staff guiding you on the shuttle bus. The dining experience offers authentic Japanese cuisine at a good value. However, the lack of elevator when carrying luggage to the room and odd fish dishes might be off-putting.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although basic, were large and very comfortable with clean bathrooms and new tatami floor matting, but the price seemed overpriced for what was offered. The service was friendly, polite, and generally helpful, but there were some communication difficulties due to limited English. The location, while beautiful and close to the town center, required an uphill walk from the train station. The dining experience varied from a delightful feast of typical Japanese food to simple breakfast options. Overall, it was a stay with its ups and downs.

The hotel is beautifully situated next to a lovely river, but the chilly rooms with no proper air conditioning were a major let-down. The service was outstanding, and the dining, although good, was only available on select mornings. The location is convenient, just a short walk from Hakone Yumoto station.

My stay at the hotel was exceptional! The rooms were more than just your average hotel room; they even had a deep bath where I could enjoy a truly private onsen experience. Plus, the foot massager in the room was a real treat for our tired feet. The service was top-notch, with multilingual staff who were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the town center and the station, making it super convenient to explore. The dining experience was a highlight, with homestyle Japanese dishes that were simply delicious. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value for money.
