Hotel Okada

We specifically booked a room with the private bath located on the 4th floor. We came by car and there's free parking. Valet was very friendly, front desk staff are also friendly with decent English knowledge. The included dinner and breakfast buffet was outstanding. It is absolutely worth coming here for a trip in Hakone, especially if you prefer a private bath.

We loved sleeping in the Japanese room. The onsens were superb and buffet dinner delicious. Thank you

Everything was amazing! The staff was so helpful and attentive. The food was great, and the onsen was clean and relaxing. 5 stars!! Thank you for an amazing experience and making me feeel so welcome in Hakone

Staffs are friendly and helpful. Facilities need to upgrade. The breakfast and dinner buffet are ok.

Room too hot. Other than this. Everything is good

Great amenities, clean room and common areas. All staff were friendly and helpful. Came for our honeymoon and the hotel gifted us chopsticks!

We were really disappointed with our stay. Since there aren’t many dining options nearby, we ended up eating at the hotel buffet — which cost about $40 per person. Unfortunately, the food quality was poor. I’m not exaggerating when I say that half of it was cold — cold soup, cold pancakes, even the hot dishes weren’t warm. Definitely not worth the price, and it feels like they take advantage of the lack of nearby options. Our room also had a strong, unpleasant odor that didn’t go away during our stay. On top of that, the process for booking a private onsen was frustrating. We were told the only available slot was at 10 p.m., which doesn’t work for a family with a baby. Our 10-month-old wasn’t allowed to join my wife, so we couldn’t enjoy it together as a family. None of this was clearly explained before booking, and it made the experience far less relaxing or enjoyable than we expected. Overall, poor communication and value for the price. Wouldn’t recommend for families or anyone expecting a traditional, comfortable ryokan experience.

The property had a bad odor, it was old, and outdated. The carpet needs to be changed. The room had a bad smell even when we tried opening the window to air it out. The staff and customer service is great but unfortunately I would not recommend.

Very friendly and kind staffing

We booked the room with in room hot spring. When we walked in the bathroom, the hot spring tub and the wooden flooring was all black. Looks very unappealing and feels dirty and it has a wet wood smell to the entire room. We immediately went to the front desk and paid extra to switched to another room with no hot spring tub. Not worth it to book a room with the hot spring when you can’t even enjoy because of the unkept condition. Better off booking a western style no hot spring room and enjoy the public onsen. Hotel is very dated and we saw cockroaches crawling in the hallways. Staffs are very friendly and helpful!

Such a relaxing experience. Highly recommended!!!

Onsens were very nice at hotel. Didn’t feel the need to visit private onsens. Food options at hotel are extremely overpriced. Game room was very disappointing. You need to pay to reserves a ping pong table….. Room was very nice and private onsen was decent. Location is decent. Shuttle bus to train station is not available later at night and requires money. Onsens do a lot of heavy lifting for this rating. Besides the room + onsen not anything re-deeming about hotel.

The balcony onsen was perfect and worth paying the extra money for.

Wonderful place to stay. A few places nearby to explore alongside other onsen hotels. The hotel was beautiful, and the staff were very kind. We booked a top floor western room and it was lovely. The private onsen in our room was amazing - it was spacious and everything was perfect. The room was so clean and neat. Though we wish there was more to do in the hotel. Also, if there were more shuttles running from the station- that would be great. Overall, we loved our stay.

The hot springs were wonderful. There is a hotel around the corner that Okada shares use of the rooftop hot springs, and that is absolutely worth a visit. It was beautiful up there, albeit a little hard to find off the 8th floor side entrance and you walk up a hill to the other building. If you can spring for the room with the hot spring tub in it, def do that. We did this for our 2nd night there, and it was a big bonus to the experience. The rooms are great and the quintessential Japanese experience (at least it seemed so to us). The buffet food was great, but the price is very high per person. That was our most expensive meal of the entire 10-day trip. If we were to do it again, we’d have done the buffet once for convenience, but gone to a local restaurant instead for the 2nd night. Heads-up - even if you buy a beer from the vending machine in the hallway outside the buffet…you can’t drink it inside. We bought one from the machine and tried to drink it but got scolded like criminals even though we bought in the hallway. Maybe the restaurant is separately run, but just a heads-up. Don’t make the same mistake. They have a convenient shuttle bus that goes straight to the train station/center of town where you can get the Romance Car back to Shinjuku or a trains onto the Hakone Cable Car / Ropeway. We’d stay here again for sure.

Good service and good hot spring

Lovely hotel although a bit older building. Staff was very helpful and spoke english well so no issues on communication. Baths do not allow tattoos though.

Great stay

We just loved this last peaceful stay in Hakone.

Rooms are pretty old but overall comfortable
