Hakone Hotel

Hakone Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a good stay. The property is not quite up to date. Lack of electrical outlets and plug in’s next to the bed for usb. A little old fashioned but still very clean and a good stay. About a 20 minute walk to moto Hakone where there is more activity. All outside restaurants and shops close at 5 pm"

10/10 Excellent
"This was the most charming hotel with so much history and beautiful details. We stayed in the Angel room, which was gorgeous and spacious, and had an amazing view of the mountains. The gardens behind the property were so pretty with little walking paths and waterfalls. We loved the 1920's feel of the property. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend!"
