Hakone Hoshi No Akari Hotel

Oh man, the meals were out of this world! Seriously, the dinner was one of the best we had in Japan-meticulous and bursting with fresh flavors. And a private onsen on our balcony with fine mountain views was magical! The staff were super hospitable.

thoroughly enjoyed our 1-nights stay. the staff were really helpful and our room was neat with the balcony, a spectacular view, amazing views. the hotel was in an easy and ideal location, back to the bus stop.

Quite comfortable stay, I will be back.

The location it offers is great, just off the nearest bus station, and the lake.

Absolutely shocked by the service at this hotel, after making it clear in advance, they didn't understand my dietary needs, serving fish after fish instead of vegetarian options. The room looked worn out, not worth the high price. As a guest, expected at least a welcome gift or some effort. What a disappointment!

Loved the room, it was neat on the balcony. Thanks to a bus stop found near the hotel, I could visit sightseeings.

Traditional hotel and easy and perfect location to the nearest bus stop. Really helpful and exceptionally attentive stuff, tidy rooms for the private onsen on the balcony, free Wi-Fi. Bonus point for a balcony, coffee, and a writing table. Excellant service, large breakfast spread.

Private onsen view made for a tranquil escape.

Nature's embrace with dining excellence

The serene atmosphere of the private onsen on the balcony was complemented perfectly by really good meals, showcasing soulful culinary craftsmanship. The staff's warmth enhanced our stay.

While the fine location had its charms, the uphill walk from the bus stop was a challenge, especially after a long day exploring. The weather can impact the outdoor shower experience.

the private hot spring tub on the balcony was a highlight of our stay. the bathroom lacked enough counter space for our personal items.

The private onsen on the balcony provided an amazing view, made relaxation effortless. The meals were a highlight, with beautiful traditional cuisine that showcased local flavors. The friendly service from the staff.

A Unique Stay with Room for Improvement

The open-air bath was a lovely touch after a long day of exploring. Be clear about dietary preferences beforehand, as my vegetarian requests were misunderstood. Prepare for the remote location and consider alternate transport options for convenience.

The blend of comfort and traditional hospitality, highlighted by the private onsen offering stunning valley views. The meals were exquisite, showcasing Japanese culinary art, while the room was tastefully styled. The walk from the bus station could be taxing.

The amazing view from the private onsen added a serene touch to my experience. Meals were a highlight, with carefully crafted dishes that showcased local flavors, though the selection for non-fish eaters could be improved. A significant downside was the steep walk from the bus stop, challenging after a long day of exploring. Communication regarding dietary needs could be clearer to avoid misunderstandings.
