Hotels in Lake Ashi, Hakone

Be sure to choose the invincible lake view room in the East or West Building! The hotel is designed by a famous artist, including Togo Murano's work in 1978. The famous red swan chair and the sofa in the guest room are full of contemporary feel. The hot springs are fully equipped. Don't worry about the bumpy journey. The hot springs and delicious food immediately take away the fatigue of the day. The only drawback is that the gap between old and new services brings completely different feelings. Language communication is a common problem when traveling in Japan, but the hotel's training for new employees urgently needs to be strengthened.

Right next to lake Ashi the hotel boasts very good views and location. The food we had was very good but we were part of a coach trip so the menu was tailored to us. The breakfast was however a delightful surprise as it was better than expected. The staff were as always for Japan very pleasant and accommodating. The morning presented us with great pictures of Lake Ashi with Mount Fuji in the background.

As a B&B, there is nothing to say about the hardware. The service is a bit embarrassing. The whole process of check-in is guided by email, and there is no Chinese yet. There is no floor heating in the room, and the air conditioning is not enough, so a heater is installed (the effect is OK). There are refrigerators, washing machines, microwaves, etc. You can buy groceries and cook by yourself, but the nearest supermarket in the surrounding area is 5km away. Where can I go to buy groceries? The biggest problem is the curtains, which are broken and there may be a big tree outside the window, which seriously affects the view. It's the same old-fashioned blinds that can't be pulled without blocking the light. The bathroom system is good and smart, and you can also set the bath mode in advance. The vending machine at the gate was broken and has not been repaired for a long time. To buy a bottle of water, you have to travel a kilometer away. There is no shuttle service.

Stayed for one night and enjoyed the onse. The onse was man and woman separate. Further there is the possibility for a private onse. Make sure to ask for a private onse with a good view out.

Hotel Indigo was recommended to us by a co-worker. She raved about how much she enjoy her stay, so we decided to visit for our Anniversary. We loved everything about this hotel from check in to check out, everything was amazing. The hotel staff always made us feel welcome, by greeting us (by name most of the time) whenever we were out and about in the hotel. Hannah checked us in. She was nice and provided us with information about the area. We had the breakfast included in our stay. The restaurant manager Koji-san was awesome. While not a picky eater, I do like my eggs cooked a certain way...lol.. On the first day of breakfast, my eggs were not cooked to my liking. When my plate was taken, Koji-san noticed that I did not eat my eggs. He immediately came to our table and inquired about the eggs. I told him that they were too soft for me. He apologized and asked if I had enough to eat and said that he would like to try again the next morning. I thought this was such a kind gesture. For the next 4 days, my eggs were cooked exactly how I like them. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. It is a bit pricey, but the chef is very good. The salmon and asparagus were my favorites. Our anniversary was on the 22nd and we received a call from the front desk asking if they could bring us a gift for our anniversary. They brought us an assortment of sweet treats, which we enjoyed with a cup of tea. Very sweet. Our room was spacious, clean with the perfect temperature. The television was the largest that I have seen a Japanese hotel. Our room was on the riverside with a private outdoor onsen. While relaxing in the onsen, you can hear the calming sounds of the river. There is also a foot soak in the garden area. it was a bit to cold outside for me, so I didn't get to enjoy it on this stay. The hotel was cleaned thoroughly and safety precautions were taken. All of staff wore masks and for breakfast, we were provided with gloves to get continental items from the buffet. All tables were wiped down immediately after a party left and were socially distanced. The hotel is in close proximity to just about everything. During our 5 day stay, we visited The Open Air Museum, the Venetian Glass Garden, Gora Park, and The Red Gate of Peace. We will definitely be returning and look forward to our next stay in the Spring.

Very satisfying with lots of freebies ( free ice-cream from 2pm to 11pm to choose from, free coffee n GREAT ENVIRONMENT. It is MOST recommended Onsen Hotel.

The view from the open-air bath and the feeling of liberation are very pleasant. Especially in summer, it is best to take a nap in a mist shower with a little cool feeling while basking in the sun. Care for the misplacement of cars during narrow and crowded times.

The most anticipated one-night hotel on this trip to Japan was a bit disappointing to the store, not as exciting as the pictures. Room facilities are still quite old, mainly because it has a bad smell. I do n’t know if there are other rooms, I was informed that the room was full, but there are still available rooms on the Internet to book. The hot spring pool is relatively small, and it may be a little crowded if there are many guests. Finally, let ’s spit out the meals. It ’s a good idea to prepare some food before going. There are no convenience stores around. The first night we ate kaiseki, the more we became hungry, the appetite was really bad, and the breakfast the next day was average. In general, the price is not high, it is time to experience.

I read great reviews about Hakone Pax Yoshino. It's an older hotel in a tourist town and appears quite nice. My room was OK, large and could use some updating. My traditional dinner and service was spectacular, hence my 3-star rating. What tainted a one-night stay is I was traveling with a vegetarian friend and not only was she shut out of a dinner she paid for, but the front desk agent said they couldn't accommodate her, there would be no refund or substitutions, because we were traveling as solos we couldn't sit together - so many ”couldn'ts” that were simply not true. This tainted my stay and I went alone to dinner - plenty of room for another person - which was great. I was embarrassed that I had picked this hotel for friends to stay separately and upon arrival was told that our plan didn't include meals, which they sure did. So, at the front desk for about $300 per night, everything is ”couldn't”. Breakfast was just OK compared to dinner. I loved wearing the yakata and having hot spring water in the room's tub (which could use updating) was nice. In the morning, I was told to reserve a spot on a shuttle to the train station for what reason, I'm not sure. When no shuttle showed up for me, my friend and others waiting - and waiting - and waiting - we were then told that the shuttle doesn't always show up. Why the reservation for something that doesn't happen? The front desk could not request a cab, another ”couldn't”. Since most of us leaving had trains to catch and tours scheduled, we walked the 15 minutes or so to the station in the rain. I saw other guests I met while waiting also drenched at the station. In short, I'm not impressed though so much of Japan has impressive accommodations and kindness. Hakone Pax Yoshino falls short. For that reason, I wouldn't stay again and don't recommend it. Too bad, because the traditional dinner and restaurant serving staff are top notch. I'm sure the chef - and a dinner this good has to have a chef - would have said to serve a vegetarian rice, vegetables, desserts of which there were several as well as a large drink menu and other dishes - and the experience would have been better. Unfortunate that the front desk person we had could only say no, you don't have, we can't. Well, I think they could have. Very sad.
