Nice place to stay but breakfast very basic and meals to buy for cooking not great

Super clean and friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Enjoyed both indoor and outdoor hot spring very much.

The staff is very helpful.

Hakone Suisen was a peaceful hotel, and the staff was polite and discreet. After checking in we were given a brief presentation about the facility and the baths, and then we were left to explore on our own. Our room was lovely with beautiful views of the trees and surrounding hills and the fresh wheaty smell of the tatami mats. There was a refrigerator, a tea kettle with green tea, and instructions for how to set up our futons at night and how to use the public baths. This was our first time using public baths, and we were a bit nervous. They ended up being very relaxing. The hotel is small (maybe 14 rooms or so?) and we went at the least busy times (they have a guide), so we had the baths all to ourselves both times we went. We preferred the indoor bath with its "nanobubbles" and beautiful views out the window to the cement wall views and crystal clear water of the outdoor bath. The walk from the train station was short and easy. Just be sure to cross the road at the station and walk down the hill on the raised walk. Do yourself a favor and forward your luggage! Don't burden yourself toting it around the overcrowded transportation system of Hakone. We brought our own dinner which we enjoyed in the hotel dining room. They have microwaves and utensils for guests to use. We enjoyed the small European pastries the hotel served for breakfast, in addition to soup and drinks. The addition of fruit, jam, and butter would be lovely, as would a few hooks in the room.

Excellent and helpful staff. I recommend the place and definitely would go back here.

I really loved this hotel. There are 2 onsen - one indoor (which I found a bit hot) and on outdoor, which was the perfect temperature and which I loved. They provide really lovely amenities - bath products, moisturizer, tea pot and tea. It felt quite luxurious I only cooked in the kitchen once - just the frozen pizza that they sell. It was very clean and well stocked, I just find a grocery store in the places I was in. They serve breakfast each morning, which is basically tea, coffee, juice, and a variety of pastries. There are lovely places to sit to relax or read. It’s a very comfortable hotel and is quite near the ohiridai train station or bus stop for travel into Gora or Hakone Yumoto. However, if like me, you return tired after a long day and don’t feel like taking any more transit, there is really nothing within walking distance. There are frozen meals and a variety of snacks for sale, however.

The amenities are excellent, will return soon

One of the best property to experience the Japanese culture and Suisen. Highly recommend

We stayed here as a family of 4 in March 2026. We stayed in a Japanese style room. The room has a toilet and sink but no shower. There are both indoor and outdoor baths however which we enjoyed! The indoor bath change area is a bit small if there are several people using it at the same time. The outdoor bath is lovely and quiet but with no shower area to shampoo/soap up so you need to go down the stairs to the indoor area to do this. Both outdoor and indoor baths are separated by gender. The Japanese style rooms were very clean and there are instructions available to assist you in setting up the beds for sleeping. A couple of tips: The road from the station to Hakone Suisen is a short walk but it can be very busy with traffic and there is no designated cross walk. Crossing the road during mid day with luggage and children can be a harrowing experience! It was better in the early morning. Also, check in time is exactly 3pm or later. We arrived around 2:45 and were told to wait until after 3 which was fine as there was a nice sitting area and at 3 pm the staff promptly came to check us in. Just don't expect to check in early unless you make prior arrangements. If your commute gets you in before check in in may be worth just leaving bags and going out to enjoy the afternoon. The Open Air Museum was a highlight!

Amazing place. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by beautiful nature, which made it the perfect getaway from the busy city. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and traditional, which made the stay feel authentic and special. The onsen was one of the highlights — very clean, relaxing, and not too crowded. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring Hakone.

Would stay again. Staff were very kind to us despite being English-speaking tourists, lovely view of the valley, and strong Japanese vibes throughout the property. Price was right too. Only off putting part was the interesting walk from the train station.

Staff were exceptional, facilitie was great

Clean, quiet, beautiful property in the mountains. It’s more of a spa-hotel, So not super convenient for us (we needed a place to sleep and a shower). Did not relize that our room had as bathroom but no shower, but the staff was super helpful and offered a room for a moderate fee, Would. Inlikwses

We absolutely loved our stay at Hakone Sui​sen. The location is fantastic — peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly placed for exploring Hakone. The atmosphere feels truly magical and relaxing from the moment you arrive. The staff were so welcoming and kind, which made the experience even more special. Our room was beautiful, comfortable, and very well kept. We felt completely at ease the entire time. This was one of the highlights of our trip and we would happily stay again. Highly recommend!

The whole place was spotless, staff was more than great, but what stood out is their attention to details: the way they recognize you and bring you your shoes as soon as you enter the lobby, they give you a flashlight if you go out at night, they take time to explain things. It is the PERFECT place to stay for a night or two, in a quiet environment.

Absolutely loved my stay here - quiet and serene with beautiful mountain views. The onsens were incredible and often empty because of how small the hotel is. Great service and facilities!

I absolutely love the hot springs and the how great the staff was. I will gladly come back again next.

Upon arrival, one staff member was not very welcoming. Since we arrived early, our intention was to leave our bags and explore the area, but he did not explain the no-shoes policy and came across as rude, which was a bit uncomfortable. That said, during check-in, the young lady who assisted us was extremely polite and took the time to clearly explain everything. Her professionalism made a great impression. Overall, the hotel is beautiful, and aside from the initial interaction, we had a pleasant experience.

Really limited transportation. Heavy traffic on high season.

If you want something boutique and intimate away from the usual Hakone tourist crowds, this is the place! The staff was so nice and helpful. The room was clean and spacious with amazing views. While there was no shower in our room, we basically had the small onsen areas to ourselves (men & women separate but fully nude only) or only a few other people. It's peaceful and has a homey feel with unique decor touches that we loved. From the bookshelves and records in the chill lounge area to in-room tea set with tasty green tea, it's a perfect place if you don't want the usual "formal hotel" vibe.
