“Not worth the detour!”
We liked having a private onsen and the bed was very comfortable. The location was very far from everything in Hakone. Unlike other hotels, the car service only goes one way, so we had to find a way back ourselves. The first‑floor onsen had no light, water dripped from the ceiling everywhere, and it was quite shallow. When we arrived, they told us we couldn’t dine at the hotel without a reservation even as guests, and they don’t offer room service. Two hours before our train in Odawara, no taxi would come to the hotel; the staff offered no solution, advice, or help. They refused to drive us with the hotel car (we were willing to pay), couldn’t arrange a taxi, and left us at Gora to sort it out on our own. For the price we paid, we were sorely disappointed 😕
