Very comfortable beds, though was quite warm in the rooms. Everyone respected the environment and whispered in the rooms, we were not disturbed at all by others - not common for a hostel in my experience. Only 2 toilets on our floor and 2 on next floor, and 3 showers for all guests - I didn't have to wait - but would be a different story during busy times. VERY clean facilities. Showers had good pressure and soap/shampoo provided. Towel hire was 100 yen. Quiet street, bus stop is 1min walk. The walk from the station is a steep hill but it is short lived and not very difficult for us with our 20kg luggage. May be difficult for some. Can catch the bus from the station for free with the Hakone Free Pass and the hostel sent information about how to do so if you want that option. Very helpful and friendly staff. Small communal area and kitchen with free tea and coffee, and a bar, quite small in general but really nice vibe. We recommend getting the Hakone Free Pass as we used it heaps and probably saw and did more because we had it and it was all very easy. It gives you free use of all modes of transport including the buses, trains, cable car, ropeway, cruise etc. We really enjoyed our 2 nights at this accommodation and would stay again. Note that heaps of restaurants were closed by 7pm so be mindful. There is family mart and 7/11 close by who also have great cheap meals. The ladies at reception gave us lots of information and advice about what to see and where to eat etc.
