Don't be fooled by other good reviews, the hotel is very dated and service was sub-par. We stayed for two nights in a luxury tower deluxe twin room with an open air bath (private onsen). For the price of this hotel, we expected alot more than we recieved. Our room was nice enough, however was musty, the shower head was broken and everything looked as though it needed to be renovated. The staff...

TL;DR: recommended for extreme-budget traveler who don't care about the hotel meals. Book the western-style room for better room condition. Lived here twice for my two separate Hakone trips. Last time we lived in the renovated tower (kaze) and this time in the Japanese-style tower (mori). Last time with the western-style room is a genuine surprise, but this time the japanese-style room is a disap...

The onsen baths were nearly empty, which was lovely. We stayed with our child and encountered no problems. Furthermore, t...

We stayed at Kaze no Tachi (the taller wing). Our room was perfect, beautiful views, comfortable beds/futons and super spacious and clean. While the default option was western style bed, the staff was kind enough to accom...
