Incredible value for money. Great location between the beach and the main busy shopping street. We were a little nervous about this accommodation because it's been a while since we stayed in a hostel but it feels more like a budget hotel. Exceeded our expectations.
Hotel was amazing, history that cannot be manufactured and this is really what you are coming here for. The onsen on the 6th floor was amazing to spend time in. Easy to navigate around the local area. Even the budget room was really special.
Location and budget
Room was spacious, price was great (we booked early), onsen facility is ok. They have big lounge and they also have toys for rent for free so my toddler loves it. Breakfast was good with a lot of options, we love the side dishes and enjoy having different types of pickles and side dishes with rice. There is budget restaurant close by in case you want to opt for cheaper options.
Great location off the main streets of hakone but still close to everything. Perfect for a budget stay while the generous double-bed capsule style rooms offer way more privacy than a typical hostel, which was great. The shared bathroom and kitchen was always clean and the staff were friendly.
As usual for all dormy chain, room is clean, with all amenities that I need. Nice onsen, free night ramen, ice-cream, etc. Staff is very helpful and polite. I stay at in most of my trips to Japan. Room size 20m2 at this price is also very good. You get a bit more space to place luggage and pack your stuff. A bit out side of Tokyo center but transportation is very convenient, so there is no problem. Direct bus available to Mitsui Outlet Kisarazu, only takes 45 mins. Many shopping malls, restaurant near Kawasaki station.
We chose to stay at Hakone Guest House Gaku because we were looking for budget accommodation near Gora Station in Hakone, with plans to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji the following morning. In that regard, it was a fitting choice. While the guest house didn't have its own onsen, they kindly recommended nearby public onsens for us to visit.
Clean, modern and comfortable. Great hotel in a convenient location near the train station. Had a coffee shop and family mart connected to it which was great! Also was budget friendly.
I was impressed with the way this cosy place was managed. There was a quiet machine like efficiency that was almost aesthetic. The layout and organisation of the place was excellent. I loved that it was a spacious bunk room and not a cramped capsule room. I loved it that the toilet and shower were on the same floor. By this time in my trip I really needed a lift because budget places are so often uncomfortable and depressing in various ways but then
