Excellent property. The breakfast is amazing. The only concern is the room is very small, but everything else is great.

Location is great. It is just a 3-min walk from the JR Gotemba Station. There is also a convenient store at the Station so you can get drinks, snacks etc. Staff is friendly and helpful. I booked a double room but it looked like a suite! Breakfast was quite disappointing though.

Staff were very helpful and went out of there way to assist, one staff member even chased us up the street to ensure we had the correct directions for the local supermarket, not great English but used a translating service whenever in doubt. Dated property but clean and well priced. Very convenient location across the road from train and bus station. Staff held our bags whilst we climbed Mt Fuji and checked back in following day. Slept well, great view of Fuji, charming place, not the most modern but made up for but lovely staff, recommended.

Fantastic location opposite the station and easy to get bus to Mount Fuji. The rooms are tired and small but clean. Shower is small but works well. The hallway carpet is very worm and gives the hotel an unloved feel. Great breakfast - go for this option.

At a red light district area with hookers & drunkards hanging around the hotel area. Room is very old & dodgy looking, with cabinets falling apart, toilet bowl damage, bedding in super old condition with a smell. The worst part is the reception (night shift guy) he is super rude & mean to Asians and he declined our request for extra pillows (the room comes with only one very flat old pillow) and smile politely to his Japanese guest. All of us had a hard time sleeping in the room.

Definitely not the best hotel to stay in Gotemba when it comes to amenities but since they are situated where everything is accessible, could be a better option than the other hotels in the area. Gotemba Station is just accross the street. Bus to Shinjuku is also just behind Gotemba Station. Free shuttle bus to Gotemba Premium Outlets is also just across the hotel. Plus there are many restaurants around the hotel. I wish they would consider renovating the hotel to attract more guests in the future because their location is very nice.

Hotel clean & had 3 twin beds set up, better than photo with 2 beds & fold out sofa. Outlet issue, chargers kept shutting down, unless light switches left on all night & did not charge fully after 8 hours. Hotel breakfast pricey & 7-11 only close food option
