This is a great central spot in Gora. The only complaint we had as a group was the lack of walkable restaurants that were open on any given day (not the hotels fault). Breakfast was really good, staff is friendly, the onsen is nice and intimate. Overall nice home base for exploring hakone... Definitely worth buying the hakone transit multi day pass.. Ooo and the open air museum was fantastic!!

Lovely hotel up in Gora. Stayed for two nights as a relaxed stop between Tokyo and Kyoto which it was perfect for. Two nights is enough to see the major sights around Gora such as the Open Air Museum, the sulfuric volcano vents and Fuji. The room was traditional and neatly kept. Breakfast was good albeit a bit for or western tastebuds. We didn't eat dinner at the restaurant so can't say how it was. Very convenient that the hotel is next to the train and cablecar station.

Highly recommend this great hotel in Hakone. Its minutes walk from the station & bus stop, providing amazing access to the Hakone sights. Room was huge, clean & the staff were incredibly welcoming.

Property was in great location next to stations. Very quiet area at night. Room itself was a little on the dirty side (visible cobwebs in the bathroom and stained floors). Was a bit noisily to the outside. Staff was fantastic and breakfast was top notch.

My family and I stayed here for one night and had a wonderful stay. There were some issues with the bathtub in our room and the hotel staff went above and beyond to fix the issue for us. All the staff were friendly, breakfast was tasty, beds were comfy and the hotel was clean and accomodating for our family. Best part was Gora station was directly across the road for easy transport to do the Hakone scenic loop. Would recommend this hotel to any traveller.

The hotel is fantastic. The facilities are new. The location is just next to Gora station.

great location, pleasant staff, but whoever planned this hostel put in way too few toilets per bed (two small stalls at each floor - 1 star less) and no showers or washrooms at all except for some in the onsen at the first floor (1 star less) making staying a bit uncomfortable and crowded in this regard.

Fantastic hostel. We were a family of 4 (all adults) in one room. Bunks were great, spacious floor space, Onsen was nice bonus. Fantastic staff. Breakfast recommended. Can’t beat this location. Great point to stay at to experience that Hakone area on the free pass. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Friendly english speaking staff. Clean industrial modern vibe. You can hear the cable car announcements loudly, but it stops at 5pm.

A lovely relaxing place to stay. The staff were lovely, helpful and prepared to explain about the onsen which was a very pleasant experience. Both our evening meal (vegan curry and beef with rice dish) and the breakfast were delicious. We felt our stay was very good value. The twin room was huge. The area of Gora was again relaxing with both Gora park and the Open air museum within walking distance.

Had an amazing stay! Staff are awesome. Fabulous dinner and breakfast - Japanese/Western fusion. Creative, attractive and delicious. Location can’t be beat. Right next to the Gora station.

Right next to Gora station. We had a private room with two twin beds. Very comfortable and spacious room. Good breakfast available and able to store our luggage.

A clean and comfortable place to stay, right by the station. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm and the room itself was spacious, as well as the bed cubbies. Had dinner and breakfast on site and both were good, with vegan options for dinner. They also made me a vegetarian breakfast. The facilities were clean and spacious and the quiet hours (from 9pm-7am) were observed by other guests. The onsen was also very nice. The only things that could be an issue were the under pass from the station to the hostel which had stairs on either side and could be a struggle for those with mobility supports as there didn't seem to be a lift. There also only seemed to be one shower (per gendered rest room) on our floor and only two toilets. This wasn't an issue when I was there, but I imagine it may get busy during peak times.
