WPÜ HOTEL HAKONE

The staff was amazing and the food was excellent. Many little perks that made you feel very welcome.

we had a party of 5, three adults and two children. we got the room that accommodated eight people, with two overhead bunks and three double beds below. the room was massive with a. couch and a long table, private toilet, private shower room and a “foyer”. loved all the space and very unexpected. there is a men’s and women’s onsen on site. loved the added amenities of free soda and popsicles for guests to cool down after onsen sessions. breakfast was included, more western style but there was a lot of variety. eggs, protein, salad, soup, bread/bagel, etc. we were right next to gora train and bus station with dining options within walking distance. would definitely stay again and one of the more affordable options in the area.

The room was immaculate and cute. Simple but had everything we needed. The breakfast was very good as well.

Very nice experience in this hotel. Very nice staff. Very clean rooms. Definitely will use again.

Very clean and conveniently located beside the Gora station. This makes travelling very accessible and the ropeway is just a few steps away.

The rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was delicious! We didn’t try out the onsen as we were not comfortable with getting naked with our adult children. The location was fantastic, super close to Gora station.

Really enjoyed our stay here! The location is hard to beat - literally just a few steps from Gora Station, which made getting around super easy. The hotel itself isn’t fancy or overly luxurious, but it has everything you actually need, and everything was very clean and well maintained. One thing that really stood out was the restaurant. The food was surprisingly good, a nice mix of Japanese and European cuisine. We’d definitely recommend booking with the half-board option, especially if you’re traveling with kids, as wandering around the hills of Gora looking for breakfast or dinner may not be ideal for everyone. The staff were also wonderful - very polite, welcoming, and able to communicate extremely well in English. The onsen was another big plus and a great way to relax after a long day out. Overall, a comfortable, convenient, and reliable place to stay, especially if you value location and good service over luxury.

Stayed here for the one night and it was a gem, literally a few steps from the train station. Clean and comfortable room and loved having a curtain for more privacy. The staff was very helpful and wonderful with their service, the facilities were very clean and the onsite onsen was the highlight of the night you can unwind and just relax. Theres restaurants walking distance with good options. Would definitely recommend staying at this hostel.

This is a super clean and modern Japanese hotel. Perfect location for Gora. Restaurant was not open Mondays in hotel but several restaurants available within minutes. Breakfast was unusual but plentiful and the service was just lovely by all staff. Left bags when we checked in early and they took them to our room when’s/

Close to all services

Everything was amazing, it’s next to Gora station, the food was great, the onsen was amazing, the staff were really nice, and the rooms were great

Impressed with the service from front desk and kitchen.

Overall the stay was good. Everything was easily accessible. It was conveniently next to the station to be able to get to everything.

Great onsen. Beautifully designed hotel

I overall had a good experience at WPU HOTEL HAKONE. The staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was included which was nice. The breakfast itself was a buffet style where you had to book a time slot. This wasn't too bad and if you needed to change the time between days, they would try to acommodate it. My only complaint is that for a modern stay, they should have more amenities such as a hair tools. I purposely did a short weekend trip and thought they would provide hair tools since there was also an onsen but they only had hair dryers. Unfortunately the one I got worked but the handle was broken. Small things but they should have a few irons at reception for guests to borrow. Otherwise, great stay.

The Hotel location is really convenient. It is next to Gora station where the Hakone ropeway is. Hakone Open Air Museum and Hakone Gora Park are walkable as well. The staff are great, helpful and courteous, I arrived an hour before check in so left my bags and by the time I got back hours later, I just needed to get my keys and my bags are already in my room. Breakfast is good and enough to start your day. I also tried their dinner and I would recommend to do it at least once in your stay. The amenities and facilities are great, they have a microwave and kettle available for use as well as utensils. I liked their onsen and laundry facilities. They also have a shared space for guests to use to eat and relax and mingle with other guests.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very accommodating and the onsen was incredible.

It was very nice and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone who wants a hostel to stay

The bed was ok, only one tiny pillow for my big fat head 🤓

Excellent stay! I stayed here many times when the property was Emblem Flow before changing names. Nothing has really changed. Great staff - very friendly and welcoming. Nice restaurant and bar with a wonderful breakfast. Also appreciated the small onsen area. I highly recommend if you're looking for an affordable stay in Gora.
