A bit of a walk up a hill to get up to the accommodation from Hakone but this is the only negative!

Cute accommodation, very private rooms and the whole accommodation is quiet and respectful. Enough toilets/showers so you do not have to wait. Staff were very friendly and gave recommendations about things to do in Hakone. Big lockers availale to put your things in.

Everything was beyond expectations! The location was great, the staff was really helpful and informative and kind, the facilities were lovely and clean, and the capsule bed was cute and very comfortable. Absolutely great value for money, especially in such a touristic area.

Nothing

The staff was very kind and all the facilities were clean. The capsule itself was bigger than we thought and comfortable. You can save a lot of money with sleeping here with the same comfort as in an hotel. The bus station for Lake ashi is a short walk away around the corner. We would definitely recommend this place!

We like the fact that it was a cubicle for two people to sleep in. It was unique, very comfortable and there were also many onsens around. If you need an onsen suitable for tattoos, we recommend Tenzan Onsen, it was a really good experience and in a natural space.

Very comfy and great location, perfect for a solo stay!

Had to go up a big hill to get to the hotel. Not that big of a deal.

Fantastic staff, friendly and flexible. The facilities were comfortable and novel.

This is a great, affordable place in a convenient location for exploring Hakone, but please be mindful that the main rooms and the annex are two VERY different places. Because I booked too close to my trip, I ended up scheduling a nice traditional Japanese tatami room with an individual futon each for me and my 2 friends with a private bathroom and shower the first night in the main building, which we loved! Then I booked us a 2 person space and a 1 person space in the annex for the second night and I would not recommend it unless you’re really comfortable with hostels. It was extremely different from our first night and was basically sleeping in a hot wooden box with a futon inside. On my own, I’d probably have been ok with that for an affordable stay, but my friends didn’t appreciate the sudden drop in quality of accommodations from one night to the next.

Capsule hostel with comfortable bar and common space. We slept in double capsule and it was good sleep. Not many space in capsule but there are lockers suitable for two big backpacks. All nice and clean. There are discounts for near onsen at the reception. After bath at the onsen we get delicious Japanese food at reasonable price. Staff speak English and they are very helpful.

Good place to stay. Staff recommended a local Japanese onsen which was the highlight of our trip

You get only a small face towel, large ones are paid. It was hot in the room, and the air conditioning was quite poor.

Overall good for a short stay. It was quiet, the mattress was quite soft.

Very comfortable double beds and a little bar to hang out after a day of visit.

Bit high on the price side - this probably due to golden week rather than any issues with the hostel itself. If not young and fit, may be difficult to lug suitcases up hill and then up stairs to apartment - again, not a fault with the hostel itself.

Nice feel about the place. The bar is a nice way to meet other guests. Staff knowledgeable and give good tips for the local area / things to see/do. Apartment good size with good amenities. Bed comfortable and clean. Would recommend.

Due to the wooden capsules, you can hear everything that happens around you. But there are already signs that say to keep quiet at the sleeping area :)

It’s very clean. I loved to have the possibility to order food at the hostel! The beds are also very comfy.

The stairs up are quite steep (we didn't find the slope up to the Guesthouse any issue though).

We stayed in one of the Apartment rooms - which had everything we needed. Good location a little walk from the station and a bus stop.

All good

Service was in general perfect

The capsule was spacious and very comfortable. The locker was big and could easily fit more than one suitcase. The location was convenient, within walking distance of the train station. I enjoyed the possibility of having a drink in the evening at the bar.

There's a steep uphill on the way from the main street to the hostel which could be a bit challenging if you're walking with heavy luggage

Nice and cosy guesthouse located not too far from the main shopping street near Hakone Yumoto station. Staff were very friendly. We got to experience hot spring in Hakone as the staff provided useful information (price and route) on several hot spring locations. Also the hostel has a small bar which serves food until 9pm, which was nice to have if your day ends late as most restaurant in Hakone closes around 6pm.

Windows were frosted glass but I guess that was private

Such a nice place with lovely staff We had a private room with shared facilities but no one else was there so it was great It is a steep walk for 3 minutes mutes but only a prob with luggage

My favourite thing was the little bar next door which was perfect for relaxing and taking a drink/food. The dorms are very decent and spacious. Nice location in Hakone, it's also a reasonably fast and very pleasant walk to the tenzan onsen from there.
