Property completely rundown. Our room was on the 4th floor above the kitchen, the smell after dinner was so overwhelming several of us had headaches. The only silver lining was the view of Mt. Fuji.

The hotel was okay. Facilities are a bit dated but clean. The hotel is located by the lake which is nice. A little walk to shops and restaurants but relatively close. It is a little bit of a distance from the Kawaguchiko Station so not the best if you’re traveling with kids.
A memorable stay. An older hotel with traditional Japanese rooms but comfortable, right beside the lake and close to dining, walking tracks and tourist attractions. The onsen was really nicely done. Included dinner in kimonos for our group and a good breakfast.

Location is good. Hotel generally is old but clean. Staff is nice and helpful.
Beautiful onsen! Location very close to a bus stop. Shuttle to the station was very limited and we ended up taking a taxi because it was full and limited in times. Rooms were dated but clean.
This is a very nice hotel, the rooms ae large and comfortable, but you have to be okay with futons on teh floor. It is right across from the lake and within walking distance of the Rope line, boat tours and restaurants and cafes. The Hot springs pools are gender separated and in traditional Japanese style, with an outdoor pool and a hotter indoor poole and full showering and washing with shampoo and soap. A very good place with a free shuttle from the station.
This was my second visit to Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko. The staff here are always friendly and helpful. The onsen is lovely, and the location of the hotel—right next to the Kawaguchiko sightseeing buses and close to the bridge—is great. My only disappointment is that the Japanese-style room that I stayed in did not have real tatami flooring. Even so, I will probably stay here again if I return to Kawaguchiko.
Provided an authentic Japanese room. It was a unique experience. The hotel is located a bit far from the station. Not easy to walk. However, the hotel provides shuttle service from the hotel to station in the morning and from the station to hotel in the afternoon (3 pm to 6 pm). This was very helpful. There are not many restaurants nearby and most of them close by 7 pm. This was the only inconvenience. Best for those who love a quiet and serene place.

Room is spacious, has A/C and a view of Mt Fuji.
Staff were excellent, always polite and helpful.
Breakfast was good, traditional Japanese style which may not suit everyone.
Room is a bit tired in places, one of the windows was a struggle to open and close - but we didn't go there to spend time in the room.
Bathroom is basic but functional. Shower took a bit of adjustment as the temperature tended to fluctuate.
Location is great, right by the lake with a bus stop for the Red line right outside.
Buses only run from 9 - 17:45 so if you want to early or come back late it's walking or taxi, and taxis weren't abundant.
The hotel was clean. The Onsen was Good. Amenities were ok (shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothbrush, robe, shoes). There was not an ice machine available in the hotel. You had to buy ice. The breakfast and dinner were by reservation and were quite overpriced. The shuttle bus pick up from the train station only at specific times.(7-10:30 am & 3-6 pm.)
Room was excellent, on site onsen was wonderful. Not very many nearby food options open in the evenings in summer, something to consider if you don’t have a car.
We enjoyed everything in this nice hotel. Different breakfast and dinner each day, a lot of options.
Very nice onsen with outdoor area. Yukatas provided by hotel emphasized the overall atmosphere. Stunning view of Mt. Fuji - if weather allows.
The hotel was lovely and the onsen beautiful. We did unfortunately experience an earthquake overnight during our stay. We went down to the front desk at 2:15 am after the shaking stopped and no one was at the front desk to inform us of what to do. Given we are from Canada it was a bit frightening. We can understand it was the middle of the night however no staff were around to assist us. In the tourism industry I feel there should be more staff available than can speak English as well.
