Hakone Suimeisou Hotel, Hakone

The ryokan is simply beautiful and provides a great experience, highly recommended for couples. The rooms are lovely, new, and immaculately clean, with no tobacco smell, which is a bonus for us.

The Ryokan offers a modern experience with traditional elements, featuring open-air-baths in the rooms. While lacking typical Western furniture like beds and chairs, having a private tub on the balcony adds to the authenticity. Some service aspects may seem inappropriate or challenging due to language barriers, yet the location near Hakone Yumoto station is convenient for exploring the area.

The hotel is located near the river, just a stone's throw away from Hakone Yumoto Station. The rooms are fairly spacious with balconies, but feel a bit dated. The service was very helpful, although at times it seemed a bit set in their ways. You can reserve a private open-air hot spring room with a river view. The dining is typical Japanese, and the experience includes a wide range of traditional food. Facilities are well-organized and transformed sleeping areas during dinner.

The hotel offers a spacious room with a surprising layout, beautiful views of the small stream, and more space than expected. The service is unique in its own way, though interactions may vary. The location is convenient, especially for exploring with Hakone 2 day passes. The dining experience, while traditional, may have room for improvement. Overall, a true Ryokan experience close to Hakone-yumoto train station.

My stay at this hotel was quite the mixed bag. The rooms, though tired and old with marked cupboards, were surprisingly clean and comfortable. The dining area transformed into a sleeping area during dinner isn't the most appealing, but the de-odouration efforts were noticeable. The service was very accommodating and apologetic when needed, making for a nice and friendly experience. The location, being very close to the train station, was a big plus for easy access to the region. The dining experience, while unremarkable like any standard ryokan, was saved by the abundance of food. Overall, a place with ups and downs but worth considering.

The ryokan offers comfortable rooms with spacious sleeping mats and complimentary facial products for both men and women. The service is friendly overall, but there were some issues with intrusiveness and delays. The location is superb, just a few minutes from the train station, with a beautiful stream nearby. The traditional dining may not suit everyone's taste, but it provides an authentic ryokan experience. The newly renovated hot spring on the top floor is a highlight.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the rooms were clean and bright with a bit of a view of the river, though I had requested de-odouration when making my booking. The service was not as friendly and efficient as I expected, especially during breakfast setup times. The location was convenient, being just a few steps from the rail station, but may be considered overpriced by some. The dining experience was interesting, with a mix of non-mainstream Japanese food that might be challenging for some palates.
