Beautiful onsen! Location very close to a bus stop. Shuttle to the station was very limited and we ended up taking a taxi because it was full and limited in times. Rooms were dated but clean.

This was my second visit to Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko. The staff here are always friendly and helpful. The onsen is lovely, and the location of the hotel—right next to the Kawaguchiko sightseeing buses and close to the bridge—is great. My only disappointment is that the Japanese-style room that I stayed in did not have real tatami flooring. Even so, I will probably stay here again if I return to Kawaguchiko.

This is a very nice hotel, the rooms ae large and comfortable, but you have to be okay with futons on teh floor. It is right across from the lake and within walking distance of the Rope line, boat tours and restaurants and cafes. The Hot springs pools are gender separated and in traditional Japanese style, with an outdoor pool and a hotter indoor poole and full showering and washing with shampoo and soap. A very good place with a free shuttle from the station.

Provided an authentic Japanese room. It was a unique experience. The hotel is located a bit far from the station. Not easy to walk. However, the hotel provides shuttle service from the hotel to station in the morning and from the station to hotel in the afternoon (3 pm to 6 pm). This was very helpful. There are not many restaurants nearby and most of them close by 7 pm. This was the only inconvenience. Best for those who love a quiet and serene place.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room is spacious, has A/C and a view of Mt Fuji. Staff were excellent, always polite and helpful. Breakfast was good, traditional Japanese style which may not suit everyone. Room is a bit tired in places, one of the windows was a struggle to open and close - but we didn't go there to spend time in the room. Bathroom is basic but functional. Shower took a bit of adjustment as the temperature tended to fluctuate. Location is great, right by the lake with a bus stop for the Red line right outside. Buses only run from 9 - 17:45 so if you want to early or come back late it's walking or taxi, and taxis weren't abundant.

The bathroom was very small, and it was dangerous to get in and out of the bathtub with no safety handrails to hold onto, especially when one’s feet are wet. There was a scarcity of hooks and towel racks to hang the towels and one’s clothing. There was no way to adjust the temperature in the room, and we found an opening in the wall with a cover that led to who knows where.

nice and quiet hotel and old-style onsen. i have no idea if it's the winter time reason or whatever, not so many guests there, basically we shared the whole hotel among 2 or 3 rooms of guests only. nice in a way. but honestly i think the dinner and breakfast could have been better.
