Hotels near Lake Ashi

"Highly recommend staying here if it’s within your budget! If you have the Hakone Freepass, then head to Gora and the hotel has a very convenient shuttle bus stop there that runs every 20 min. Upon arriving staff greeted us, took our luggage, and coordinated check in. After check in, staff immediately escorted us to the room with our stuff while telling us highlights of the property, such as where the onsens were and where breakfast was. The room itself was great. It’s nice and clean. They have yukatas in the room but you need to request for kids size. Obviously the best part is having your own personal tub on the balcony with hot spring water and cold water to adjust to your personal comfort. Shower pressure was good and they provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and 2 kinds of lotions. The beds were very comfy with plush pillows and a fluffy comforter. We personally prefer to sleep in a cold room and had control over the thermostat. Food wise we did the package with both dinner and breakfast buffet. Dinner buffet came with all you can drink with select beer, sake, sochu up"

"Pros: - rooms on 2nd and 3rd floor have clear view of Mt Fuji and Lake Ashi if the weather is good - onsens are nice, indoor and outdoor - staff is very nice - they have 3 e-bikes to rent which was our favorite way to get around Cons - pretty old property, musty smell - kind of isolated so if you don't like their dinner you need to figure out a taxi to and fron town, uber is poasible but not giranteed to always get one available - dinner food was only ok"

"This establishment was an awesome choice for our Hakone visit, a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. The was great reception and attentiveness of the staff, to unlimited amenities, and spacious room with a private open air bath, all exceeding our expectations. The public bath area was very nice and well worth time spent to include saunas. Additionally, included was an extensive spread for breakfast and dinner - you are sure to walk away satisfied. The food was so fresh and flavorful, I wanted to ask for recipes. The staff was helpful, friendly offering 1st class service. The hotel is minutes away from public transport which help us easily move from one place to another. I have already recommended this hotel to others and I’d surely book again."
