Enjoyed staying here! Quiet and comfortable. I think it would be a lot easier to get around if stayed in Gora though. Also didn’t realize it was a shared bath (no shower/bath in room) but it was nice. There is also an additional fee you have to pay at the property for the bath (hot springs).

Not the cleanest place I’d ever stayed in and it’s definitely dated but you get what you pay for. The rooms are huge western size, more than enough room for two people and to spread luggage everywhere too. The gentlemen on reception was very polite and helpful, had a translation device to hand for a few of my more complex requests.

We didn't feel welcome at all. We arrived a little early with a little kid. Unfortunately we could not check in an hour before check in time even so the room was ready. No reason, no explanation. The hotel seems very money oriented. Everyone has to pay an extra fee for the onsen, even if you don't plan to use it. You have to pay if you want to leave your bags a couple hours after check-out.

I reserved the room for 2080 Yuan at expedia.com. But when I got in the hotel, told me the charge is 2140 Yuan, 600 Japan Yuan difference, hotel didn’t give any explanation. Also in the room all of powers and power sockets by inserting room key to turn them on, that means you have keep lights on when you are sleeping if you use power plug to charge phone or connect sleep machine, that make me crazy.

We enjoyed our stay. Quiet, quaint, simple and still room for 4 (2 parents 2 teens). It's a great location for the lake activities. A car rental is recommended.

The building was old but very well furnished! Comfortable rooms, spacious. The onsen was fantastic. The guest house was understaffed, but the receptionist was kind. I would absolutely reccomend this place to stay, especially to make use of the Hakone FreePass! The Ropeway and the pirate ship were 15 minites away walking and the bus stop for the H and J lines were right outside the property.

I stayed in the dormitories for 2 nights, at a pretty cheap price, considering they have onsen inside. Very clean and friendly staff. 100% recommended.

The room is spacious. No elevator, it's can be tough to carry heavy luggage up and down. There's only public bath, no private shower. It's a quiet area, most stores and restaurants are closed after 5 pm, and before 9 am. Short distance from buses, but a bit challenging for walking with luggage, and good luck if you can find a taxi in the area.

Quiet place but kind of remote, a decent walk to get down to the Lake. The facility has no elevator but is only two floors. Most of the restaurants in the area close early and the hotel doesn’t have a Cafeteria / Restaurant, just vending machines and a concession stand.

It’s surprising to get poor service in Japan. The front desk wasn’t available and when they were there they were rude. They stated I had to pay for the Onsen even though I couldn’t attend it, then when I paid they didn’t give me back my change until I asked for it. During check out I waited for 30 minutes for them to show up and answer questions, but they didn’t show up so I just left. Definitely do not recommend.
