強羅茶寮

“Excelencia y calidez japonesa”

The experience was fantastic, especially the dedication of the staff who went out of their way to keep us comfortable. They even handled the fact that my kids don't eat fish without any trouble. The place was spotless and peaceful, making it the best experience I've had in years. No complaints.

“I felt very unwelcome”

The location of the hotel is quite good, it can be reached by direct bus (not included in the Hakone Free Pass) from Odawara, which saves you the trouble of changing trains in crowded Hakone. From the bus stop, the road goes down to this place so you can even walk it with wheeled luggage. The place can also be reached by taking the mountain cable car up, when you get out at Kami-Gora (make sure you get out at the left side, you can't cross the tracks later). The room is spacious and has a good view. I was alone in the room so I used all four tatami mats and slept really well. The private onsen is nice. Reception was unfriendly. Not entirely, he also lent me a phone charger. But overall, I didn't get the feeling that I was welcome, more like I was barely being tolerated. I arrived earlier than expected and mistakenly put on the owner's house shoes (I thought they were for guests) before I walked to reception, which made reception very angry. I was completely overthrown by his irritation. I wanted to leave my luggage there until check-in, and it seemed like it was all too much to ask and it had to be done hurriedly. As a result, I walked around with my heavy laptop for the rest of the day. I later asked reception to call my previous hotel because I had left my charger in the hotel lobby and somehow when he hung up, he told me that they didn't have my charger. Which wasn't true, I let a Japanese friend make the same call and the previous hotel did have my charger. On the day that I left, I asked if I could get a transfer to the station but it turned out that is not included in the price, you have to pay for a cab or just walk there. The private onsen (there are two) can only be booked after check-in, and dinner is at 18.00 so there aren't many slots. In my case, when only two other rooms were taken, there was only one slot left from 17.00-18.00. Dinner was good, but nothing I will remember. Breakfast was too heavy and not to my taste (mackerel). I was just so fed up with this place that I didn't even care anymore that I had taken all the four tatami mats out. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone travelling alone

“We enjoy very much then quite vibe there. There are few guests. The meals are great. Very happy to escape a short time t”

The staff were pleasant. The location isn’t in the center of Gora but is close to a bus station, making it quiet and nice. They serve excellent dinner and breakfast meals on a fixed menu, so be open to trying everything. We enjoyed them a lot. Note that there is only one toilet in the room and the bath is downstairs with a different schedule. The lighting in the room is a bit dim, so it can feel a bit cold, but that’s just personal preference. The futon is a little old, though there is a cover to put over it.

The place is quiet, breakfast and dinner are excellent, and the staff are friendly (though that’s typical for a Japanese ryokan). The Gora area is on a hill, so accessing it by public transport is somewhat difficult; the convenience store is more than a 10‑minute walk down the hill and there’s nothing nearby. Even a vending machine would have been nice, but there isn’t one. They say you can drink tap water, but they don’t provide the usual water bottle that other hotels offer. After 22:00 the door is locked and no one can enter. I chose a room with a private bathroom option, but it only has a toilet and sink; I have to use the public onsen for a shower.
