Liked: Cleanliness
This hotel has a lot going for it: a gorgeous setting in the woods, and a beautiful dining room with a lovely outlook. Pretty good location too, with a shuttle bus on demand to pop into town. The staff are outstanding - I was ill during my stay and they (and especially the wonderful Ken) could not have been kinder. However, this is seriously expensive for rooms that can only be described as Spartan - even for hard-core minimalists. Every wall in our rooms was scuffed, the bathroom smelled badly, and there was nowhere to hang or store clothing. We lived out of suitcases for four nights. The only dining option is a very expensive multi-course option which you must book well in advance - one evening we had nothing to eat and room service was unavailable. The idea that a 'wellness' retreat only offers foie gras options in the evening is a bit odd. The wonderful staff deserve better management!

A beautiful luxurious retreat!

Loved our stay and only wish we could have stayed longer! Great location, welcoming and accommodating staff (they shipped the laptop we left behind to our hotel in Tokyo the following day), fantastic meals (breakfast, dinner and treats) and thoughtful amenities deserve at least a couple of nights stay. Thermal springs are well situated and super relaxing and the area around the hotel is beautiful. I would give this hotel 11 out of 10!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There were areas where you can access for different occasions, such as cafés, onsen, and relaxing library lounge. The library lounge was one of the unique places. It had a bungalow space where you could lean back and chill. Also, there were a big audio device where you could listen to music and relax. The best part though, was that they opened the cafés till 22 o'clock and the onsen till midnight!

The area is beautiful, but quite remote from Hakone attractions. The hotel does not have transportation well coordinated for train pickups and into town, thus you feel remote and disconnected, making the beauty of the surroundings not worth it. The dining is terrific. The rooms are showing signs of aging and need a refresh.

Maria

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I would never recommend staying here. While some staff was lovely, on average they were incredibly rude and dismissive. The room itself was a dump; they promised to drive us to a couple places nearby and when asked, laughed in our faces and told us absolutely not. And then we got stranded with no way home - no Ubers would pick us up, and the hotel REFUSED to come (6 min drive). So, the only way home due to torrential rain and dangerous walk was a stranger who offered to drive us. Not to mention the showers look like a prison cell (and smell disgusting). One of the worst stays of my life. Would never, ever, ever recommend.
