The hostel is pretty cozy. The host is super warm and welcoming. She helped out booking a private onsen for us in the evening. We enjoyed the stay.

The host was so friendly and helpful! she printed out a code for us to get the Hakone Free pass at 7/11 and was happy to call restaurants to make reservations for us. She even made a map of the hakone loop and printed them for us so we knew where to go.

Kana was an amazing host, giving me lots of advice, exuding warm hospitality and she even prepared me a small vegetarian meal! It's a lovely little hostel well located near bus and train stops..I took the small private room, and it was perfect for the night and very relaxing:)

Everything! I loved it there. It's the best hostel with the best manager. Kana is an angel and made my time in Hakone unforgettable. We are friends now and I hope to see her again. The hostel is so well kept, clean and beautiful. I felt very comfortable. The dorm beds are extremely comfortable. The kitchen and common area are very nice. I did everything what Kana recommended and it was always a success. Thank you so much!

Perfect stay in Hakone, which we absolutely loved. Kana was amazing, she was very helpful and eager to make our trip better (she recommended beautiful and hidden places to visit, booked a private onsen and a delicious restaurant for us). We were so glad to meet her, thank you so much !

The screens around the bed don’t block the sunlight and I don’t think there are curtains. Bring eye masks if you are a light sleeper like me.

The kindest person at reception: Kana. I felt so welcome and taken care of. She really takes good care of all her guests. The double bed is a huge plus as this isn’t common and the feel of the hostel is very homey, but also accommodates for everyone to have enough space.

All good

Super friendly host! We stayed in a private room with a shared bathroom and never had to wait. The room is a good size for Japanese standards and comfortable bed. 8 min walk to the mountain train and close to the bus

This Q has no relevance for this incredible hostel

Kana is the most amazing and dedicated host I have ever met - and I have travelled a LOT. She goes far beyond the call of duty to help travellers solve the myriad of problems that pop up on the road. I would have been lost without her coming to my rescue!! The hostel is an old building but it is warm and welcoming and the kitchen is amazing, with hot water, tea and coffee always on hand. My room was warm and cosy and the place was SPOTLESS!! Wifi was fast. And Hakone is very expensive in terms of accommodation so this make Hakone Hostel 1914 even more of a find :) It is actually really well situated for engaging in all the amazing activities that the area offers.

It’s close an amazing lake and not far from Fuji mountain, it’s so nice place, warm and around is so peaceful. There is also an onsen at 1 minute walking from hostel. To be in this here is like to be at home. The owner is simply fantastic, super friendly and she helped me to organize everything and her advices are been simply perfect. It has been the place where I felt more comfortable during my trip in Japan.

The mattresses were a bit thin

Kana-san was very welcoming and supremely helpful in finding us a restaurant for the evening. The tickets for the close onsen were really appreciated too.

Hostel with a lot of traditional Japanese charm. The shared room is practical and the beds have a door/curtain, providing some privacy. I want to especially mention Kana, the woman in charge of the hostel, she is lovely and helps you with everything. She recommends routes, excellent restaurants, and onsen. She even checks availability and calls to make a reservation for you. Fantastic! We couldn't have been more comfortable, we regretted only staying for one night.

Dry old and sweet house in the center if hakone with great access to onsens and the rope way. But the most special thing about the place is the host Kana who made you feel right at home from the moment you come in. She’s a true diamond!

The owner was so polite. She organized everything for us. Called the onsen and the restaurant for a reservation and was always there for a little chat in the entrance hall.

Kana was an absolutely incredible host, she is very friendly and has plenty of local information she wants to share. Offered to book an onsen/dinner for us if needed. Best bed/sleep we've had so far in Japan. Great location, only a few minutes walk from trains, busses, 7/11 / Lawsons.

Ryuhei (Hei San) is an amazing host. The dormitory beds are very comfortable and clean. There is a locker for valuable goods, comfortable shared lounges, kitchen, pay to use laundry etc. They also have a guide book about nearby Onsen and details of recommended restaurants. The guests are well taken care of. The location is convenient to visit Dougashima, Kawazu, Itou, Heda and Izu panorama park.
