Onsen Hostel K's House Hakone

I had good stay here. Friendly staff, pack with tourist and travelers also a chance to meet to friends. Living room has a great view of the mountains. Though going to this place is pretty steep if you walk, you will be amaze by the autumn trees and river.

It’s an old style Japanese hostel and comparatively cheap, especially good for young people, because you have to climb a not-so-short slope from the train station .

My friend and I stayed in a private tatami room. The view of the mountains, trees, and a little bit of the town below was beautiful. The room was clean and quiet. The futon were a little thin (I have slept on many as I live in Japan), and both my friend and I had poor sleep because of it. The downstairs common areas are also very clean and beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly and explained the space clearly. In the onsen, there wasn't a clear or large enough sign that you need to clean yourself before entering the bath. Unfortunately, this meant that guests who were unfamiliar with the custom entered the bath unwashed. The bath water was quite dirty. This could easily be fixed with a few large signs and explanation during the tour. The shower rooms were very clean.

Overall happy with my stay, the only thing I don’t like is too close to the station so in the morning can be noise
