Hakone Suishoen

We spent two very relaxing nights at the Hakone Suishoen and made great use of the private onsen in the room. We had kaiseki dinner for both nights because one of our kids was younger than 10 and was not allowed the Teppanyaki dinner. Staff: Overall, the staff welcomed us very warmly and also put in their effort to make our stay very enjoyable. Most of the staff could speak English as well, so it's not a problem if you don't speak Japanese. Food: What can I say, both the Japanese breakfast and Kaiseki dinner were top notch and were very satisfying. One minor thing I would comment on is that the food tends to get similar if you stay more than one night and choose the same type of meal. They tried to make it slightly different, though. Onsen: The private onsen in the room was very wide and could fit my family of four comfortably. I also went to the public onsen and used the facilities there (the sauna was very hot, and good!). Thank you, Hakone Suishoen, for making our first ryokan experience a very wonderful one. We will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful hotel, but it was a bit of a walk from the bus station if you’re going into Hakone. Be sure to call the hotel to have a shuttle pick you up from the nearest shuttle stop, which is down the hill from the property. Stuff that was super nice although they didn’t know too much about the tourist bus lines-recommend getting a hug Kone 1 to 3 day pass if you’re staying longer. Property is beautiful, great Japanese breakfast and dinners. They really take care of you – amenities are great in the room, especially with the private onsen. Prices were higher than most because we went during early cherry blossom season. it is like a seven minute walk slightly uphill towards the major bus stop for the tourist attractions. Overall, we had a great experience to stay there – either did not see many children and noise level was kept to a minimum. Definitely would love to stay here again for a romantic getaway.

Incredible service/food and the grounds are stunning.

The staff are so very polite and helpful. They always put on a smile=) The lobby area is small but the view is really awesome! The room is with 2 stories, everything is neat and tidy, except a part of the wall was quite stained, we assumed it was from the coffee machine which was placed next to it. The signature part was the private onset bath (on the 2nd story), it was truly awesome, the tank was clean and it is very cosy! We enjoyed the facilities in the room, we wish to have spent on more night, except the toilet is separated from the shower place, which is downstairs. We were arranged to have breakfast on the 2nd floor in a compartment at the restaurant. It was really chill and full of tranquillity. We enjoyed the breakfast service so much! Highly recommend if you want to stay away from the common-large-brand-hotel, it's a star and quiet profile hotel
