Hotels in Gora/Sengokuhara, Hakone

This is one of the best ryokan I have ever stayed in. Firstly, the location is right next to Gora Station, less than five minutes walk, which makes a big difference if you've come from, say, Tokyo to Hakone. Additionally, the rooms were comfortable and the private baths/balcony feature available for all rooms is lovely. The Double Western room we stayed in had the best of both worlds with the traditional Japanese bath and a comfortable bed (while futon are fine, we preferred a bed). Finally, the samue monk work clothes the hotel lends you to wear as sleepwear is so comfortable, my only complaint is that there are none available for purchase. Also, the hot spring bath facilities were great. We only used the shared not public ones, but they were clean, beautifully designed, and well ventilated (which is important for not getting overheated). Travellers take note: a lot of restaurants in the area close after 7pm, and the dinner set is on the pricier side, so best to plan your dinner accordingly. The restaurants we did try (notably an udon/soba place) was very good. And the nearby shuttle to Pola Art Museum/13 min from Hakone Open Air Art Museum make this a good hotel for art-lovers. The staff are friendly and helpful too.

Excellent service! It was very crowded at check in but the friendly staff greeted us and sat us down at sofa, also directed us to welcome drinks and snacks. It was a bit hard to find driving to the hotel after sunset as it was tugged away in a small street. 5 minutes drive from Gora station, 7 min to Open Air Museum, and 15 min to 大涌谷 volcanic steam vent. The in room private onsen was great!! Public bath was a little disappointing, it’s quite small and co-ed, usage so we need to wear swim suits which felt a little awkward.

Great service by the staff, beautiful location, the food for breakfast was excellent! Food outside the hotel take a walk and fills up quickly so it's recommended you take the meal option. Also, if you have full sleeve tattoos that can't be covered up, the Annex building is a great option for you, as many rooms have a private onsen.

There was some imperfections on the paper doors which didn't look nice, but besides its amazing. The vibe,garden and served food were amazing. Staff is really friendly and willing to help. Especially thankful to front desk girl who worked between 16:00-17:00 on May 12, i was getting late to my train,panicking, she helped me, even though barely speaked English, so I made it on time:)

The room is very spacious with a bedroom, living room, an open kitchen, a washroom and a bathroom. Everything is clean and stylish. The restaurant provided special dining meal that was very delicious. It was a gorgeous experience to stay in this hotel.

I chose this hotel because I really liked the interior design. They were very kind to me, providing a welcome drink and a polite response for my birthday surprise. I would like to use this hotel again.

The hotel receptionist should be from India or Pakistan, so language communication is difficult. The overall experience is good. The room is very large and quiet, and the breakfast is rich. For family trips, it is recommended to charter a car or take a taxi. The entire Hakone transportation is not very friendly to tourists, unless you have time and are not in a hurry to wait for the car.

for those who want to run away from busy city life, this establishment offers a good escape. even though single pool onsen, it was enjoyable. spa service was good.

It rained at night when we checked in. The waiter came to pick us up with an umbrella and helped us deliver our luggage to the room! Very cute ********* lady, it feels like living in the forest, the hot spring is very clean and comfortable, and the whole body is relaxed. After taking a bath, apple cider vinegar and ice cream were prepared thoughtfully. The breakfast is also very satisfactory, with rich variety, delicious curry rice and sweet fruits. There is also free coffee. We will stay here again next time we come to Japan, and the whole family is very satisfied.

Beautiful hotel!!! And very helpful staff. I love all the facilities in this hotel. There have a big onsen. The location is near the Ropeway just 15 minute. But from train station is a bit far by bus. There also have a welcome drink and snack bar. The breakfast was incredible, too many choice and delicious!! Overall, me and my family had a good time and love this hotel!!
