This place is esentially a capsule hotel with a common era and a public bath + onsen. Many positives to this place including: - The common area is very nice with a full kitchen and lounge area with books and tea. - There are indoor and outdoor gender separated onsens and showers. Both were very relaxing and well maintained. - The staff spoke english and were very helpful - I found a good dinner spot up the hill by the train station called mori-meshi Only negative: - The bunkbeds are wooden boxes with a futon which was comfortable to sleep on, but my top bunk got very hot at night even though the AC was running because the sleeping compartment didn't have good airflow. If you added a small fan to the entrance of the bed chamber, that would fix the problem.

Amazing stay for great price

Unique hotel.

As a first time experience at an Onsen, it sure was a treat. A very nice and cozy place, with a helpful staff and great amenities. A bit hard to find at first (a single door at the end of a parking lot), but once you find your way it is a great little place for relaxation and Onsen baths. The spacey lounge (where you eat and socialize) was really beautiful and tastefully decorated, and also housed a fully equipped kitchen where you could cook your own food. If you are up really early (6 am) you can enjoy a very relaxing hot bath all by yourself. A very enjoyable stay and I highly recommend it.

Brand new property central to all the major landmarks in Hakone. Staff was awesome.
