Best Hotels in Hakone

Then there's the hotel's architecture, the concierge area, the front desk, the check-in guide, the shared bar, the rooms, the bathrooms (with optional spa), breakfast (with optional Japanese breakfast at Kikuka-so), the entertainment area (including a swimming pool), the wedding chapel area, the art gallery, the pastry shop, and so much more to explore and experience

Over the almost 150-year history of the hotel’s existence, a huge number of famous people have stayed here (Einstein, John Lennon and his wife, Charlie Chaplin, kings, emperors

This hotel exceeded my expectations. Even though I had some understanding of it before booking, staying there in person truly revealed the unexpected delights

The hotel is conveniently located near the Tram Palace lower station or the Hotel Zen bus stop, making it accessible even without a car or private charter

The Western Breakfast was great and must try. The dining ambience was good

This hotel has a lot of historical character and is pretty good overall. It has a garden you can stroll through, and there's a bus stop right outside that takes you directly to Odawara Station, which is very convenient

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

Excellent location in Hakone - just opposite the train station and in the middle of Hakone town Rooms have been renovated and modernized Breakfast is fine but the food spread is average. Highly recommended

The location is super convenient, right next to Hakone-Yumoto Station, just across the bridge. It's a large hotel with spacious rooms and good facilities. The hot springs are great and not too crowded.

It's very conveniently located for sightseeing and getting back to Tokyo. The food wasn't as good as last time, probably due to rising prices in Japan. Next time, I'll probably skip booking meals

All dinner restaurants require reservations; if you don't have one, the izakaya on the second floor is a good option, and their set meals are quite decent

Excellent location and wonderful room. splendid scenery. very clean and comfortable

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

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

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

Great hotel. Service and amenities amazing (except no gym). Thought the rooms was well designed to provide good rest. In my opinion the breakfast was the star. Top Notch!! All in all great experience.

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.

The hotel's shuttle bus was very convenient, the room was comfortable, breakfast was exquisite, and the hotel service was excellent. A wonderful memory.

Location is excellent, staffs are nice, room is fantastic, their fireplace snack time is another great charm. Onzen is the must!

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

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

This is an excellent hotel and somewhere I'd stay again. It does take about 40 minutes by bus from the train station, but worth the effort

Beautiful hotel with a perfect view of the lake and right next to public transportation options. The deluxe lake view room was huge and very clean

The location is excellent, with a bus stop right outside and close proximity to the pirate ship port. My favorite part was waking up and pulling back the curtains to see the white peak of Mount Fuji

The onsen are a nice touch, and included for guests with minimal charge, 150 yen per da, and seems to be compulsory. The breakfast is simple, with an order main dish, and buffet for the additional options

Hakone Hotel is a historic piece of Hakone and has maintained its elegance over the decades. It has spacious rooms with comfortable beds and if lucky, great views of the lake and Mt

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 rooms were very clean, spacious, and comfortable, giving us plenty of room to relax. Both dinner and breakfast were good, with a nice variety of dishes and satisfying portions

Aura Tachibana is a bit on the older side, but it is well maintained and has a lot of charm. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help, which really made our stay more enjoyable

The hotel and restaurant staff were all very kind and helpful, the room was traditional, spacious and nice, the public onsen (indoor + outdoor) was great, too! The food at the restaurant was very well prepared and presented! The staff was very careful with accomodating any dietary restrictions, and also served western type of breakfast upon request

And the food is incredible, I received the traditional japanese breakfast which was absolutely loaded with seafood and pickled vegetables, and my partner who is allergic to seafood received a lovely western style breakfast

Probably one of the nicest places I've ever stayed The room was gorgeous, traditional and warm. We had the private outside bath and it was nice and warm, perfect to contrast against the cold mountain air

Traditional style rooms were spacious and comfortable. Authentic Japanese breakfast provided samples of many foods. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Shuttle bus was exceptionally convenient

I went without doing any research beforehand, but at the footbath bar where they serve welcome drinks, a staff member gave me a map and kindly recommended some great places to visit

Really love the big room we had and having our own onsen in the bathroom but the shower was not hot sadly 😔 Love that so many yukada are available to use freely 🥰 and the closet is pretty wide too 😁 Would be good to have more table space 😔

Just 2 min walk from the station. Staff very accommodating, especially for English speaking guests. Restaurant food was really good. Small portions but surprisingly filling! Loved our waited

Pros: Nice hotel, close to the ski lifts and the train station. There's a great coffee shop across the street and all the sights are very close. The rooms are large and spacious. The service and staff are excellent

Rooms were quite nice with good views, but rooms tatami flooring was a little worn out, and the wifi was very slow. The public hot springs are small, and there is no view

The room was fantastic - really big, the shower alone was bigger than a hotel rooms whole bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and there was a balcony with nice view to the mountains

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 scenery is beautiful, and the location is great, right next to Lake Ashi. The rooms are quite large and the facilities are good. However, staying on the first floor means the view is largely blocked

The room was decent, but the view from the first floor wasn't great. I imagine the higher floors would have a better view. The food was good, typical Japanese style, and the service was also good.

Great location, rooms with views of Mount Fuji. Dinner included multi-course traditional Japanese cuisine. Onsen with a view of Mount Fuji. The standard of the ryokan is beyond praise. We will definitely return. A+++

Also, there's no distinction between the main building and the annex; if you want to book the main building, it seems like all bookings on Ctrip are for the annex

There aren't many hot spring pools, but the outdoor one at the main building offers stunning views of Mount Fuji and the large lake.

Friendly staff and nice view with Fuji mountain. Stay peaceful.

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

Beautiful scenery and design in the rooms and meals. Hot spring baths were excellent and relaxing, it was a hugely rejuvenating experience.

Excellent hotel and service. We had a fantastic stay there

The service and hygiene are very good, the food is delicious but not surprising. The hot spring facilities are very good

The service attitude and feeling are very good. It is very suitable for traveling with the elders. It is more suitable for relaxation without noisy children.

The room is clean and the facilities are excellent. You must choose the double-board package. The breakfast is amazing and the dinner is pretty normal

The environment is very good, I like it

(Light mouthfeel and soft acidity are GOOD) The quality of the hot spring was as expected and satisfactory. However, because it was summer, many bugs invaded. I have insect conners, but they are ineffective

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.

The fish was a grouper dish, and the texture was similar to pufferfish, and it had a complex flavor that was good. The fish appetizer was a surprise. I was surprised that my wife and I had different plates for our food

Wonderful Everything was wonderful. From the check-in, dinner, bath, breakfast, to the farewell, everything was wonderful. The quality of the guests was also excellent.

This was my fourth visit, following my first in July this year. It's not too hot and not too cold, so it may be just the right season for a hot spring. This time, too, I enjoyed a dinner that lived up to my expectations

My wife had pacific saury, and I had flounder. When I asked why the dishes were different, she said that she had heard that the husband doesn't like blue fish

The overall service and facilities were excellent, especially the open-air bath in the room, which was fantastic. It was a bit disappointing, however, that we couldn't arrange dinner on Christmas Eve and had to eat out.

One that we will remember fondly for sure !! Amazing experience with the hotel dining in a private room, loved the onsen in our room , only wished we could spend more nights here ! Thank you for making our first Ryokan experience a memorable on

interesting balinese onsen ryokan. service was great, i couldn’t take raw food and my husband is allergic to prawns and they took notice for it and didn’t serve them during our half board meals (breakfast and dinner)

the onsen water is certified to be natural and we could read the details of the certification from both the hotel reception and room toilet. the private in room open air onsen’s temperature can be adjusted as well

Atmosphere ◎ Hot spring ◎ Beautiful ◎ Food ◎ This is a wonderful place to immerse yourself in an extraordinary life. Everything was a beautiful place. For me, as a pure “I,” this is quite a high point

hope the hotel can take note of this and seal up the showering area’s door completely to prevent air from exchanging during shower. it’s a jap-balinese fusion hotel, pretty interesting concept

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

The most amazing experience of this trip to Japan. I'll just show you the pictures, words can't describe it. Even the skincare products were exceptionally good; I want to buy some, but I don't know the brand

Location was accessible via 10-min Tozan bus ride. Room was very well-furnished with yukatas, toiletries and spacious. The older staff in the restaurant spoke very good English

This is the best Ryokan I have visited in Japan. I’d like to stay again soon.

The highlight of this trip was staying at this hotel. First of all, for hot spring lovers, this hotel has both private baths in the room and private baths that require payment, as well as excellent public hot springs

This time I came to Tokyo mainly to see the cherry blossoms, and I also went to Hakone to soak in the hot springs. I saw good reviews of this hot spring hotel on the Internet, so I tried it myself

It truly lives up to the saying, "Expensive things are good in every way except for the price!" I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Hakone for hot springs
