Best Hotels in Hakone

This was my second stay at Yumoto Fujiya Hotel, and it's always the hotel with the best environment and largest rooms during my two-week trips to Japan

Good hotel overall, breakfast could have more options. Baths were the best thing here.

Walking into the lobby, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean it was. Although it's an old hotel with a vintage interior, it has a charming feel, almost like stepping back into the Japanese dramas I watched as a kid

We booked a standard double room; the facilities aren't brand new but are clean, and the room itself is larger than what you'd find in a Tokyo city hotel. The breakfast had a good variety, which was satisfactory

The hotel's location is excellent. From Hakone-Yumoto Station, you take the elevator down to ground level, cross the bridge, and the hotel is a short walk on your right, up another elevator

You could also reserve the private bath and the cost is reasonable. We took the French Restaurant for dinner which is amazing good

Staff were very polite and helpful, front desk staff speaks good English too. Good location for self drive travellers, near to attractions like Owakudani and Open Air Museum

The only downside would be the location, as it's a bit out of the way, but otherwise, it's excellent

Hotel is spaces and nice. Services and facilities was good. Foods just above average, not that fantastic and location was abit inconvenient and too far. Otherwise overall was ok.

Hotel location is good connection to obako ropeway station. 3 min walk from the back of hotel. Good dinner and breakfast wt a lot selections.

Was easy to get to (bus J from Odawara station (expected 50 minutes but took over an hour due to traffic jams near ropeway late morning time). Short easy 5 minute walk from bus stop to hotel (ignore other reviews)

Amazing hotel! The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The onsen is large and has beautiful views of Mount Fuji from the women's section, but unfortunately, I couldn't see it from the men's

The package including two meals was pretty good value for money. You can send your luggage to the hotel from Yumoto Station. Dinner was a buffet, which was decent, but I personally prefer Japanese Kaiseki cuisine

😊 The hot spring is large and has an outdoor section. Overall, it offers good value for money

The location is quite convenient, and the food is good compare the price.

The room facilities are a bit old, but well-maintained. The room itself is quite spacious. There are multiple hot spring pools, both indoor and outdoor. The downside is the inconvenient transportation

We came from Kamakura and it took a long time to get here. The bus journey involved a lot of winding mountain roads, and I almost got carsick

The room was quite spacious, listed at 32 square meters. It came fully furnished with a two-seater sofa, a table, a wardrobe, and more

All the hotel staff were attentive and meticulous, and their English was good. The shuttle bus goes to Kowakidani train station, not the bus stop, so make sure not to get on the wrong one

Not bad, pretty good overall, just the food felt a little perfunctory. The outdoor hot springs are great, and transportation is convenient with a bus stop just a short walk away.

Staying for one night with two meals for 2700 yen offered excellent value for money. The open-air bath on the balcony is not a hot spring; it's just hot water

The environment is great, but the staff's English isn't very good, and the food is pretty mediocre.

The food was quite mediocre, and the location was inconvenient, but the service was very good.

The private bath is a bit small, just right for one person to soak comfortably. The view from the balcony is beautiful, with lush green maple leaves layered with red and yellow. Dinner and breakfast were decent

This hotel is nestled in the mountains, and the service was decent. The facilities inside the hotel were all quite clean. Overall, it was good.

A very good stay overall. Rooms were a bit dusty and mould on the bathroom ceiling. However staff were excellent and looked after us all the way.

This hotel is great for seniors; the hot springs are nice, and while the facilities are a bit old, they're clean. Environment: There aren't many other hotels nearby. Hygiene: It's good; the cleaning staff does a good job

for those who want to run away from busy city life, this establishment offers a good escape. even though single pool onsen, it was enjoyable. spa service was good.

Classy hotel, spacious rooms, excellent food, amazing location and view

As a Hyatt hotel: 3/5 For families: 5/5 As an onsen hotel: 3/5 Overall very good service and an enjoyable stay, but there are some nuances worth sharing

I recommend you come earlier and get one-day pass so that you can look around and take good rest in this great accommodation

A beautifully designed hotel with a serene atmosphere. I loved the onsen facilities, especially having both private and public baths to choose from. The surroundings were so quiet that I slept incredibly well

The breakfast buffet was delicious, and the location couldn’t be more convenient

The hotel's overall environment is quite good, and the transportation is also convenient, making it suitable for friends visiting Hakone for the first time

The only downside is the location—getting to restaurants or a convenience store requires a bit of a walk. But overall, it’s a comfortable and relaxing place to stay, especially if you’re looking to unwind

Both breakfast and dinner were delicious; breakfast included congee, and dinner was a generous spread (buffet plus beef or fish teppanyaki). The room was newly renovated and quite spacious

The hot spring facilities were well-maintained and very relaxing, especially after a long day of exploring Hakone. The staff were polite and welcoming, providing good service throughout the stay

The hotel environment is very good, the breakfast is very rich

Hakone Kogen Hotel is perfect for those looking to unwind in a peaceful natural setting. Surrounded by greenery, the atmosphere was calm and refreshing, making it a great escape from the busy city

The hotel is a little far from Togendai Station, and it takes 10 minutes to get there. The attitude of the staff is also very good, and they can speak English

I totally recommend it. Just be aware that the onsens are naked and they separate females and males. I recommend to book for a private onsen and you can be with your partner

I opted for a two-meal option and would recommend this place to everyone; I think it's quite good value for money

the best in every way except transportations are needed to be planned in advance. quite up on the hill with a very good view

The location is a bit secluded.  The staff keep a clean environment.  The service here is excellent.  The facilities are good, however besides onsen and food, there isn't much else to do.  The uncharges are a bit steep

The service was excellent, professional, and very attentive. The in-room amenities were premium and had a luxurious feel. The towels and hot spring attire were made from high-quality material and felt wonderful

Very good. I like this restaurant very much. The breakfast and dinner are very delicious. The service is amazing and beyond expectations. It is very thoughtful.

The hot spring water is set at a constant temperature one can bath at any time. It offers one of the best dinners at hot spring hotels.

Italian restaurant is so good! Food and View are good! Definitely will back again

Breakfast was a bit average; however, if you don't want to eat at a convenience store, it's probably better to book it. The view from the window was great, but it was pitch black at night. Overall, a very good experience

The hotel room is spacious, and on a clear day, you can see the snow-capped Mount Fuji directly from the seaside garden – it's absolutely stunning! This foldable makeup mirror is super cool! If you get a front-facing lake view room, you can literally lie down and enjoy the entire panorama from your room! The hotel is right next to the pirate ship pier and the H bus terminal! It's also really convenient...

Nice view and quiet place. my husband amazed the beautiful mountain and lake view!.

A special shoutout to the ********* lady at the front desk; her service was incredibly detailed and attentive. She went above and beyond to help us when our downhill transportation was unexpectedly delayed

For returning to Hakone-Yumoto Station, you can ride the bus all the way to the end, and there's a bus stop right in front of the hotel! Overall, I'm extremely satisfied!

The breakfast was great, a small main hot entree and unlimited sides, such as breads, salads, fruits, and drinks. The only downside is the lack of AC during the winter

Hotel staff were the best I've ever had to experience, extremely helpful and friendly even if I didn't speak the language they put in the effort to communicate in my native tongue

Beautiful older style hotel, staff are attentive , baths are beautiful and comfortable beds, amenities is nice too with dyson hsirdryer

A place stagnate in time, with timeless charm and good environment. Located conveniently nearby to Yumoto Station is a great plus for laid back area of Hakone

Excellent! This onsen ryokan, operating for over 70 years, boasts 9 natural spring sources, a clear testament to its authentic *gensen kakenagashi* (free-flowing hot spring water) system

The hot spring water was continuously flowing, and a notice on the wall detailed its composition, stating that only water was added to lower the temperature, along with chlorine for disinfection, and crucially, no circulation system was used

This is significant because many other onsen ryokans might offer beautiful gardens, attractive prices, and even private indoor baths, but a closer look often reveals they might just be using plain heated water or circulated onsen water

Excellent location,just next to train station and bus terminal. The onsen was definitely a " plus". Highly recommended.

Service from the staff is excellent. As the period we go is a cold season, there is no aircon running in the hotel. They provided us with a standing fan upon our request. Hotel is only 2mins walk away from Gora station!

Excellent location, and the staff are friendly. The hotel is a bit old, but it's clean.

Good location and staffs are friendly.

Highly recommended for short stay & with low expectations of Onsen. Because the hotel is very close to the train tracks, wear ear buds to reduce the noise when sleeping. No complimentary water bottles & snacks provided

Everything was nice, few steps away from train station. Not so many trains at night so the noise isn't really a problem. Nice bath.

The hotel service was excellent, and any problems were resolved promptly.

Our view was excellent, nice Onsen, good food and super friendly staff!!! We lost our wallet in the hotel and they send it after us to our Next hotel the same Day! Thank you for the very pleasant stay! Arigato gozimas!

For a family of 5 in one room, with your own indoor onsen and shower and wc ( we got the Western- Japanese room on the 6th floor 3 futon and 2 single Simmons beds , with breakfast and dinner thrown in, we paid ¥88000 ( SGD 772) a night and this is probably the best value hotel in this area

Hakone area is hard to find dinner places as everything closes by 5pm, so it is a relief that the hotel provides dinner. Mainly local guest but Staff are friendly and try their best with their English

Great service, very good food.

Setting: The hotel is nestled in the mountains, offering fresh air and quiet nights. It's also near a small river and waterfall. It's also conveniently located near attractions like Hakone Shrine and Lake Ashi

Wonderful staff and accommodation.

The private Onsen is the best I have ever had the pleasure of using (it is 1000% worth the surcharge) The only issues I had with my stay were some inconsistencies with the online posting and the english room instructions they appeared a little out of date (for example they both listed a dinner that was not available for our stay)

Probably the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Amazing staff with unparalleled Japanese service, super clean, fantastic onsen. FREE ALCOHOL, best breakfast ever. No words to say how much we enjoyed our stay.

The environment and view are very good, facing the mountain view, comfortable and cozy, the room is also quite comfortable, the view is elegant, and the hot spring is also very good

Overall, I good experience however there are some strange rules. For example, you cannot enter the hotel for several hours before your check-in at 6pm because they’re cleaning

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Hakone. We took a bullet train from Tokyo Station to Odawara Station. The hotel was kind enough to pick us up from the bus station and drive us to the hotel

We had a room with a private onsen which was beautiful and overlooked the river. It was so lovely to hear the water rushing and all the nature sounds

Also very close to the bus stop without fear of being too close to cars, since going into the city there’s really not a sidewalk

Lovely ryokan with amazing food !! Highly recommend the private baths too for anyone that’s new to onsen experience. 😆

We had dinner and breakfast included, traditional multi course Japanese meals

Fantastic service. Fantastic food. No complaints.

Very good experience, it's the first time to stay in a Japanese tatami hotel, it's very good, especially the food is unique and delicious 😋 The hotel can also take a hot spring ♨️ I recommend everyone to experience it 👍

The highlight was dinner each night, which was included in the hotel rate! It was truly a Michelin-level fine dining experience. The menu was also able to be customized according to my partner’s dietary restrictions

The number of guests was limited, so we were able to stay in a quiet and peaceful environment. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and we were very satisfied with the private hot spring.

Kanaya Resort is a hidden gem on par with some of the finest luxury hotels in the world at a fraction of the price and much more intimate. It is the perfect refuge while exploring Hakone

The amenities in the room were a lovely touch, complete with a robe, pajamas, slippers, and complimentary refreshments in the fully stocked mini fridge

Breakfast was also a full experience. When we had an early tee time one morning, the staff packed us meals to-go

Thank you, and I can’t wait to come again! IG: hannah

An absolutely amazing experience! I've stayed in countless top-tier hotels over the years, and Gōra Kadan is, without a doubt, the best!

The service was incredibly thoughtful. They offered on-demand shuttle service to all the attractions in Gora, which was a lifesaver, especially avoiding walking in the cold winter

Our stay at this luxury ryokan was simply magnificent in every aspect: the service, atmosphere, grounds, cleanliness, and the genuine care and attention to detail were all exceptional

A Russian-speaking concierge was provided for check-in and orientation, and our waitress had made special preparations to explain the nuances and flavors of each dish in Kaiseki cuisine to us in Russian – a truly considerate touch that greatly enhanced our dining experience

When we arrived, three hotel staff greeted us and helped us with our luggage. The whole accommodation experience was very good, with thoughtful details and a warm feeling

From the moment we arrived, we were treated with the utmost reverence and attentiveness, making us feel like honored guests and part of the ryokan family

Love the peace and quiet! I love the privacy of a in-room onsen. Breakfast and dinner were really good. I will come back again

Excellent value for money! Absolutely comfortable. Love it, will come back often.

The Kaiseki cuisine is full of ritual, the hotel is very private, dinner and breakfast are in the room, so there is no public space in the hotel. Bathing is very comfortable, suitable for couples to travel.

I stayed in a two-story room, so the two spaces were very separate and comfortable! The bed was also very, very large! The bamboo forest view from the window was absolutely stunning

The service was great, the open-air hot spring was very comfortable, and the dinner was delicious 😋

The room was absolutely beautiful! 🤩 The hot spring was also incredibly relaxing

My wife is vegetarian and they made special accommodations to fit both her diet and my own while very patiently explaining each part of our meals to use and direction on how to best enjoy them

Overall is good, but food wise can be improved

Overall, it's excellent value for money

The hotel was very comfortable, and the staff were incredibly enthusiastic and friendly. There's a hot spring for bathing, and it includes a one-night stay with two meals. The food selection was extensive and very rich

Rally love the Ryokan experience. Beside is family mart super convenient. Free flow of beer and delicious dinner and breakfast! Bed is soooo comfortable. 5 stars for me🥰

It was a very quaint and luxurious boutique ryokan. Private onsen in the room was great - welcome drinks bar was also superb

The Glass Museum is nearby, and after the Togendai Port Pirate Ship Tour, we arrived quickly by bus. The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were both excellent

Beautiful and super comfortable room, they speak good English and the nonsense is a spectacle.

Good service & nice room with friendly staff

I tried to reserve dinner online, but they told me to do it upon arrival at check-in, but I think the restaurant had private seating for each room, so I was able to do that. I had a choice between 6:30 and 7:30

It was my first time at a ryokan. I liked the onsen too, but we didn't take the private one, but the prices were very reasonable. I wish the breakfast had more variety. The main thing is the Friendly tattoo

It’s a beautiful ryokan with a good onsen. It’s tatoo friendly, it was important for me. There were a lot of the Japaneses, so I think it is also a good sign for the place

The wagyu and teppanyaki shrimp was delicious! The onsen and ofuro has quality water tapped from Hakone volcano and soothes aching muscles and makes skin soft

The hotel has a beautiful environment, especially the Japanese garden 🏡 which is incredibly picturesque

We stayed in a few Ryokans but this Yoshiike Ryokan is the best because the room have large window that allow fresh mountain air to flow into the room and the futons are incredibly comfortable and warmed

We came in January when the weather dropped to 0c and the room had heaters. The onsen is beautiful and natural. And the receptionists are very polite and happy. We loved happy people that makes your money well spend

Even though it's winter, the plum blossoms and cherry blossoms 🌸 in the courtyard are already in bloom, making for a pleasant stroll. There are also many cultural relics

Since we didn't opt for a meal, the two futons were already laid out for us quite early
