Hakone Suishoen

The staff are so very polite and helpful. They always put on a smile=) The lobby area is small but the view is really awesome! The room is with 2 stories, everything is neat and tidy, except a part of the wall was quite stained, we assumed it was from the coffee machine which was placed next to it. The signature part was the private onset bath (on the 2nd story), it was truly awesome, the tank was clean and it is very cosy! We enjoyed the facilities in the room, we wish to have spent on more night, except the toilet is separated from the shower place, which is downstairs. We were arranged to have breakfast on the 2nd floor in a compartment at the restaurant. It was really chill and full of tranquillity. We enjoyed the breakfast service so much! Highly recommend if you want to stay away from the common-large-brand-hotel, it's a star and quiet profile hotel

立地、サービス、食事、温泉とどれも満足できる内容です。 施設は離れとなっており、階段が多く、足の不自由な方にはお勧めしません。 食事は同ランクのホテルの中でも良い方であり、日本酒の種類も豊富で十分に堪能できました。 温泉は弱アルカリ性単純温泉で、肌がスベスベで、これぞアルカリ性の温泉！という感じ最高です。 硫黄温泉が大好きな私でも小涌谷温泉気に入りました。（箱根で一番は芦之湯温泉）

We spent two very relaxing nights at the Hakone Suishoen and made great use of the private onsen in the room. We had kaiseki dinner for both nights because one of our kids was younger than 10 and was not allowed the Teppanyaki dinner. Staff: Overall, the staff welcomed us very warmly and also put in their effort to make our stay very enjoyable. Most of the staff could speak English as well, so it's not a problem if you don't speak Japanese. Food: What can I say, both the Japanese breakfast and Kaiseki dinner were top notch and were very satisfying. One minor thing I would comment on is that the food tends to get similar if you stay more than one night and choose the same type of meal. They tried to make it slightly different, though. Onsen: The private onsen in the room was very wide and could fit my family of four comfortably. I also went to the public onsen and used the facilities there (the sauna was very hot, and good!). Thank you, Hakone Suishoen, for making our first ryokan experience a very wonderful one. We will definitely be coming back.
