    The only negative was that we booked dinner with the hotel in advance only to find out that the restaurant was closed both nights we were there and it was really difficult to find places to eat nearby.

    Overall we were very happy with our stay at Emblem Flow. The rooms were comfortable and spacious and the onsen was great. It's a great location next to Gora station and makes a convenient base for the hakone loop and other sights in the area.

    Very close to Gora Station and Rope Way. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. Rooms were clean and comfortably accommodated a family of four. On-site onsen was nice too.

    Reception staff felt a bit standoffish but were very helpful.

    Rooms and beds were very comfy, lots of space for suitcases. Also surprisingly quiet - did not hear any noise from neighbouring rooms or from outside despite being right next to the Gora train/cable car station.

    Our beds were a bit hard but think it was because it was on the floor. We will definitely choose a different style next time .

    The food was delicious, staff very helpful and locations perfect. You are basically next to the station and ropeway . We had a wonderful time . Not sure why it’s only a 2 star ⭐️

    I was busy enjoying my stay in Japan elsewhere before arriving here. I was sent a form to filled-in a few days prior to my stay. It is great they would like to ensure customers are satisfied with their stay by seeking information regarding the type of stay though.

    Breakfast was amazing for the two night stay. Freshly made, plus buffet. there is even fries available in the buffet, which i liked. Just be aware there is an Onsen tax. Fresh daily towels need to be requested. Staff can understand, speak and explain in English. I got lost finding the accommodation from the train station - need to go down steps - to go through an underpass - then up steps again.

    Staff can speak English but there was a bit of confusion regarding the ticket for dinner. The price includes the ticket for dinner but you will need to pay extra for ordering set. There was a bit of misunderstanding because the staff said チッケト when referring to ticket and we didn’t understand at first.

    Very close to Gora station. Less than one minute walk. The food was great. Very comfortable beds. We were lucky that there was no one when we went to the onsen baths. Microwave is available in the public area.

    Sometimes the front desk was empty, so I had to wait for the officer to come.

    I like how close the hotel is to Gora Station. I stayed in a mixed dormitory room. The room was nice, and the bed was comfortable. The toilet and shower room were comfortable as well. The breakfasts were amazing! I really liked it!

    Not much to dislike.

    It has a very convenient location and access to various tourist attractions. I have met fellow people who stayed there who become friends during my stay there. I also like to compliment the staffs there as well. During my stay in December 2023, I have met Bucchi San and Kazuki San who station at the counter to receive any occupied. They are very hospitable and able to converse comfortably in English. Khant San from the bar and Kitchen too is very pleasant to speak with. In all, everyone has pleasant disposition and I do not have to hesitate to approach them. Overall, the deco and vibe of the place is amazing. I hope to go back one day.
