Nothing! We had a great time.

The lady who communicated with us was very polite and pleasant to speak with. The staff were very good. We appreciated the mountain view we had and our private onsen, as well as the yukata, and the breakfast. Hojicha latte was so good!

They don’t have shuttle service and no dinner restaurant as they are having very short staffs. But you can walk back up hills to the station to catch the bus or train to another town for food or bring back to it in their self serve kitchen. Remember to check the last train and bus to go back to the hotel as everything closes early. And most of the restaurants may not accept children. No washing machine to rent or laundry services. Make sure you bring enough clothes if you have young children with you but don’t pack big luggage as it will be very hard to travel with big luggages like us. We have no choices as we travel everywhere from Tokyo to Hakone then Osaka and back to Tokyo.

The staffs were very helpful to help for a lift to the station and help us to call the bus station to find our lost pram from the last bus when we arrived.

I'd appreciate a plunge pool or a couple of alternative baths. The breakfast choice was quite limited and pastries were quite stale.

Beautiful room with mountainside view. Onsen was a bit small and only had one bath but it was nice nonetheless (and nicely decorated).

Nothing, everything was great!

Everything was amazing!

It was slightly hard to find, but not too bad. You'll pass a sloped driveway leading to old abandoned buildings a small ways before the real entrance.

Super serene, small little onsen off the beaten path. Not crowded at all. Loved how chill it was, loved the room, the tea, the baths of course, and the incredibly curated, cultured, & kind of whimsical lounge.

Possibly could have been closer for the main hakone free pass trip, but still a good area. I unfortunately didn't get time to use the onsen so cannot judge that.

Very spacious and lovely room, comfortable futon beds. Brilliant Japanese style shower room and toilet. Nice free breakfast and the staff were very nice and helpful, one guy helping me with dinner on the first night, speaking good English too! Close to the train station/bus stop and a nice Izakaya nearby.

Nothing.

The interior, amenities and the room itself felt very luxurious. The onsen is great, especially if for first-time enjoyers.

the staff were welcoming and very helpful. the room was great and had a beautiful view of the mountain. they have some really nice frozen food and snacks available so you don’t have to worry about taking a train to a convenience store.

The only negative would be the location, but it is great to be away from a busy town. It is just a short walk along the road from the train and bus stop. A lovely Izakaya nearby.

Beautifully clean and relaxing atmosphere. Very relaxing and provided with the robes for onsen. Quiet and up in the trees.

Can be a bit hard to find as it is in a conspicuous location

Beautiful rooms with great facilities!

Stayed in March 2024

the location is a bit isolated - there aren't any very nice restaurants nearby so you need to take the bus or train to one; the water in the outdoor bath was a bit too hot for my taste - couldn't soak all in

very helpful staff - they arranged my luggage transfer and accomodated all my requests; the room is big and the mountain view was just amazing!; there are not one but two common baths - indoor and outdoors; they serve a nice pastry breakfast (free) in the morning; craft beer vending machine on site!

Just a gem lost in the mountain. Staff was very friendly. Location is good easy walk from the station. Love the onsen that waw so quiet I had it for myself. Amazing vinyl collection so peaceful and relaxing I need to go back.

Clean and just what you need

Not enough light in front of the mirror in room

The staff was incredibly helpful and nice, I fell in love with each of them. And the girl, who booked food for me, I wish her all the best, she saved my evening that day with her initiative

The only thing that made it difficult for us to travel was the location. It is in middle of a very steep slope and 10mins walk from the nearest bus stop. And not to mention the typical super narrow street (very common in Japan), so if u don’t have a car it could be difficult. But that’s it.

We’re from Canada and I brought my Brazilian roomie with me to visit my home country. I truly liked the hot spring and how it’s not a “too touristy” location. We were there in the holiday season but because it’s a hidden jem Ryokan, we were able to have both the “daiyokujo” and “Roten buro” all to ourselves (we did go late at night and early morning). They also have 24h ashiyu (foot hot tub) which was super awesome. I had beer while planning for the next day and just chilled there all by myself for an hr.

Very welcoming and helpful Hotel staff. Great location very close to station. Lovely onsen. Particularly liked the lounge with LPs & record player.

Once you get off the Ohiradai station, you'd have to walk around 5 minutes to get to the inn. The road for pedestrians was extremely narrow and the cars driving by were scary.

The inn was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. The onsen was not crowded and very well maintained. The staff were friendly, spoke good English and gave very clear housing instructions. Given the price of this stay, it's well worth your hard-earned money.

We have to walk through a short side path along the road to reach the hotel and this could be some safety concerns when at night time or busy traffic time. I noticed drivers did slow down when they noticed that we were walking along the road but there is no proper crossing.

The staff is super nice and helpful. The hotel is close to train station and very quiet & comfortable to stay. They have open air foot bath open for 24 hours, which is absolutely bonus.

The hotel had a nice feel. Really loved the lounge room and outdoor Onsen.

Stayed in November 2023

This didn't bother me but it could be annoying to others that they do not serve dinner here so make sure you understand that. One annoying this is the location, getting there by foot a bit annoying from the station since the sidewalk is one person wide. The only other complaint is that the outdoor onsen does not have much of an atmosphere (no view) its just a clean open air onsen surrounded by tall wooden walls.

This was a great little gem of a place. It is modern and clean so it doesn't feel like a run down place. The room we got had an amazing view of the autumn foliage so I can only imagine what it looks like in other seasons. It has 1 outdoor onsen, 1 indoor onsen and 1 footbath. There is a kitchen if you'd like to cook yourself and they provide small baked goods and coffee/tea/juice for breakfast.

The stay at Hakone Suisen alone made it worthwhile to travel to Hakone. The room, property, and onsens are great. The staff are wonderful and do a great job of being attentive while giving you plenty of space and freedom to enjoy yourself. While there's not much to do/eat within walking distance, the hotel is only a short bus ride away from Gora or Hakone Yumoto. The breakfast selection while small was delicious and as a bonus they had awesome specialty coffee.

The hot spring and the view from the room

The water was a little too hot for me personally, but my partner liked it. Be sure to read all the information provided by the facility, I didn't read everything and was shocked to find that there was no soap for washing in the outdoor bath area. 😅

We wanted a simple ryokan without a sophisticated breakfast/dinner and with an open-air bath. The room was nice and clean, the amenities were just right. The soup and pastries provided at breakfast were very tasty. Also, the location was very easy to reach from the bus station.
