Hakone Luxury Vacations

The hotel and our room was so beautiful and the service was great. While all of the staff were great, we were really impressed by the trainee bell hop who helped us carry all of our luggage and was very sweet. Highly recommend!

The hotel staff was accommodating though be aware that most have very little English. The shuttle service was efficient and useful but be aware the route is circuitous and not for those inclined to motion sickness. We very much enjoyed the Hakone experience especially the ropeway. We walked to town of Gora though it is very steep. We could not play our planned golf game due to lack of available taxis even though the concierge tried. The hotel is really showing its age with frayed upholstery and damaged wood finishes and outdated decor. The onsen bath was very clean and quiet and kept stocked with towels and amenities. The ‘welcome drink’ offered at check in was just the choice of a beer or wine (half glass) or cola. The beds were comfortable with high quality linens, and room service was responsive. We appreciated the Nespresso machine in the room and the provided water and coffee pods. In all a relaxing stay, but for the price it felt closer to a seniors retirement home than a Hyatt resort.
