Odakyu Hotel de Yama

Verso le 19:00 siamo arrivati ​​in hotel. Con 5 bagagli ma nessuno staff ci ha aiutato con i bagagli. Il ragazzo senza sorriso. Abbiamo prenotato 2 camere con balcone. Ma nessuna finestra con balcone e vista. Molto deluso.

Il servizio è molto buono. Dovevamo arrivare alle 7:30 per la cena in hotel ma eravamo in ritardo. L'hotel ci ha aiutato a ottenere il servizio in camera per il ritardo e il cibo sono piatti tradizionali giapponesi. Caldo e caldo. Un giardino molto bello che può vedere il monte Fujit.

The hotel overall is good, will recommend to my friends. Guestrooms: A bit old style, no USB port, had to bring travel adaptor (I am not sure that whether can borrow from hotel because I have brought the adapter) Public bath: It has indoor and open air pool, amenities are completely Breakfast : The breakfast at French restaurant "Vert Bois" is delicious, it serves individually, not buffet style. Location : The walkway to attraction is uneven and doesn't have street light along the way, so it will be dangerous if you walk in rainy days or night, especially if you have kids. Services : The plus point is the shuttle bus, it can pick you up at Motohakone Port, after 19:30 still can contact them to arrange for pick up.

Great view and great vibe. We were really lucky to be able to view Mount Fuji as the weather was clear on our first day. The food at the Japanese restaurant was a bit salty but they made up for it with great service.

I recently stayed at Hotel Odakyu in Hakone and had a mixed experience. On the map, the location seems convenient, but in reality, it's a bit tricky—especially for solo travelers. There are no buses that go directly to the hotel, so you end up walking along the main road in the dark if you're coming back in the evening. There’s no sidewalk, which made it feel unsafe and uncomfortable for me as a single female traveler. That said, the hotel itself is clean and the rooms, while a little outdated, are well-maintained and comfortable. The onsen is a lovely feature with both indoor and outdoor options—definitely a highlight of the stay. Amenities are great and well-stocked, and the traditional Japanese breakfast is beautifully prepared. Just note that it's the same meal every morning, so if you're staying for more than a night or two, it might feel repetitive. One key tip: buses in Hakone don’t run late, so make sure to be back in the area by 6 or 7 PM to avoid the long, dark walk. Personally, I would recommend staying in a more central or populated area of Hakone for better access to restaurants and transit—especially if you're relying on public transportation.

The staff were professional and friendly, but the Wi-Fi speed was slow. Shaving kit lacked shaving foam, and the humidifier in the room was not powerful enough. Overall, it’s still worth visiting again.
