Find 2-Star Hotels in Hakone

"i really love to explore so i just love the location since it needs to go up for a bit from the bus station.. overall service +ramu (the friendly dog) is best 🫶.. my only concern is the cold toilet and bed.. but i guess its just worth the money we paid plus its winter and was snowing when we stay...oh! i forgot ..i tried the little onsen./ofuro .. i love it since its natural !!😄😄"

"☀️ When i first arrived, i thought i was at the wrong place - i‘ve never booked something so nice for myself before! 🪲PROS - chill 4 people bedrooms, with a comfy bed and a big personal shelf + locker and a fridge for the room - clean facilities and rooms - towel, toothpaste/toothpaste and yukata were provided as well as shampoo and showergel - the common room was so cozy and nice, with tea and water always at the ready and a great view of the garden - i was satisfied with both the dinner and breakfast and the price was fairly cheap (~1200¥ or a bit more, depending on your choices) - PRIVATE ONSEN that you can book for around 50minutes at night and can use in the morning if nobody else is already using it (costs around 150¥ per use) - there is a shuttle bus going at pretty regular times in the morning. They offer a ride to both Gora-Station or Hakone-Open-Air-Museum! 🩸CONS - far from the city-centre/train station 🌱 i really enjoyed my stay. I had cool roomies that became travel companions and absolutely loved the inn, the onsen, the food and the kind staff! Definitely a recommendation if you ever decide to stay in Hakone - i would book again!"

"A truly enjoyable hotel experience with friends! The family room, located one floor up the stairs, was quieter, with a spacious tatami area and a view of the nearby art museum. The hotel staff spoke English better than most hotels in Tokyo, and we enjoyed a casual chat every time we met. The basement common area was very comfortable, with chess and poker boards available for borrowing. There was also a shared kitchen and laundry room. Unfortunately, strong winds and heavy rain hit both days of our stay, and the Hakone Tozan train was out of service, so we had to go to the hot springs resort. Be aware that nearby restaurants only serve lunch, with most closing in the afternoon. In such inclement weather, we had to rely on convenience stores for food."

"This is a surprisingly old hotel. While many of the amenities are dated and some rooms lack private bathrooms, my personal experience makes it highly recommended. I stumbled upon a deal on Ctrip and booked a room with an indoor hot spring bath and private bathroom. Each room has a different name. We stayed in Chidori, which was on the second floor without an elevator, so we had to carry our luggage upstairs. It was spacious and had a simple river view. The hotel signs the names of guests arriving at the door, which was a great experience from the start. They check in their slippers upon arrival, so you need to use them. There's free-flowing drinks and a variety of flavored liquors, and free cold drinks are available outside the public bathrooms. We booked a two-meal package, which includes two time slots for dining, which is recommended, as many restaurants in Hakone close around 5 PM, making it difficult to find food, except for 7-Eleven and Lawson. Once you reserve a table for dinner, you'll also have breakfast the next day, so you don't have to worry about repeating meals if you stay multiple nights. They also offer different dining options based on the length of your stay. Dinner includes a 75-minute all-you-can-drink offer, which is quite impressive. The hotel provides special bathrobes, but the straps are stored in a basket in the room. The towels in the basket are for guests to use in the public hot springs. Since the hot springs are recreated from the Edo period, they're quite basic. There's no shower head, so you have to scoop water to shower, as the tap below only dispenses cold water. If you're using an indoor hot spring, you can skip it. For transportation, if you're arriving at Hakone-Yumoto Station, exit the station and cross the overpass to take the mountain bus from the opposite stop. If you're arriving at Kamito-no-Sawa Station, it's about three stops. Remember to ring the doorbell before arriving, otherwise the bus won't stop unless someone else gets on. Whether you're using a card or a pass, you need to swipe or present your pass when you get on board and swipe or present it again when you get off. Remember, the Izu Bus does not accept passes. Because the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, it's best to take a bus rather than hike. Remember to take a photo of the departure time to avoid missing the bus or waiting too long. In addition to most of the tourist attractions, the most lively places in Hakone are the shops in the hot spring town outside Hakone Yumoto Station. Most of them close at 5 pm, so if you need to go shopping, remember to go early."

"The location is excellent being 2mins from Gora-Eli station. It is surrounded by private onsens and even some good restaurants. It’s a below average guest house without any lift or elevator. 2 flight of steps to the front desk and men’s and family rooms, 1 flight of steps to the ladies. It warrants a lot of work on cleanliness service and amenities to grow its image. The only saving grace is its excellent location next to Gora station and the ropeway/cablecar bringing you to Lake Ashi, Owakudani and many places of interest.."

"It was easy to find as it was located along the bus route and close to the bus stop. The area near the entrance was spacious, so it looked like it could accommodate 4-5 cars. The inside of the building was warm, and just as in the pictures, it was very clean and had a modern Japanese feel. It had a modern, stylish feel that would be appreciated by foreigners and would definitely be loved by Japanese people too. Personally, I thought it was great that there was a kotatsu on the tatami mats. Everyone was spending their time in their own way in the lounge, but everyone was quiet so we were able to relax. Even the appliances in the kitchen were stylish. Even if you didn't bring any food, they sold food next to the front desk, so you don't have to worry. The hot springs, both indoor and outdoor, had a nice atmosphere, but the outdoor baths are semi-outdoors up to the changing room, so it's best to be prepared in the winter. The indoor bath was equipped with Kracie cleansing product, face wash, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, and KOSE lotion and toner were provided in the changing room. All of the products had a lovely aromatic scent that matched the atmosphere of the inn. At around 6pm, neither room was in use and we had it all to ourselves. The kagodoko was about the width of a semi-double bed, so I was able to sleep very comfortably. However, the comforter was a little thin, and even with my own scarf over me, I still woke up several times from the cold. The mattress was about 8cm thick, but it was starting to wear down a little around my waist, and I felt like I was hitting the bottom. I have some complaints about the bedding, so I will lower my rating. Overall, I was very satisfied with the inn. Next time, I would like to bring someone with me and rent a room."

"The room was incredibly clean! The view from the room in the morning was also beautiful, creating wonderful memories. I was also very happy that I could cook in the room. 💯✨"

"It is much more convenient to stay in the mountains when visiting Hakone, because there are so many attractions that one day is really not enough. The B&B is at Sengoroumae Station of the bus, and it is very convenient to go to Togendai Station to take the cable car and the pirate ship. There is a whole family nearby, the owner The attitude of this hotel is very good, and the hot spring experience is great. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs, and you can also book a nearby restaurant. It is very close to the forest of sculptures and the nearby hillside with a large reed."

"The facilities are a bit old. The more traditional Japanese hot spring hotels are mainly cheaper. The dissatisfaction is that the luxury type is not even a balcony. There is only one window. The facilities are two low tables. Let's enjoy it."

"This is the first time I've stayed in a hostel with an onsen! The onsen while small, does the job, and the outdoor onsen was really peaceful at night. I booked a queen bed for 2 people and it was spacious enough for me to hold all my belongings. Hostel staff were really friendly as well. One thing to note though is if you're planning to stay here, getting here from Hatsune-Yumato station requires a very steep climb up the road and a trek through the forest, so do NOT attempt to walk here yourself! Take the K-line bus instead, which drops you 100m away from the hostel."
