A smaller style property, very clean and stylish. Jazz plays in the foyer and there is a nice small bar. Our room was larger than others we’ve stayed in which was a treat. We stayed here to visit Hakone. It was fairly straight forward to get to Hakone proper, though this property is a little out of the way and at busy times of day the buses in this area are unreliable and often late. I think if we were visiting again we’d choose somewhere closer to Hakone or Hakone Yumoto. The hotel offers free shuttle pick up and drop off to nearby locations which made transport connections easier. The breakfast offered is only Japanese style set menu (no Western breakfast offered, though we thought this was an option when we booked). Tasty. Similarly, the dinner is a long set course meal of traditional and locally sourced foods - definitely an excellent meal, though quite expensive (was about ¥10000JPY each I think). There are a couple of noodle places for dinner nearby but not much to choose from. TLDR: hotel great, location not so good, food traditional and a bit expensive.
