The best: The hot spring bath in B&B Pension that is accessible most of the time. i remember i went in the night 2300 to 0030 and the morning 0745 to 0830. it was a great place to rejuvenate and refresh yourself during the stay. The good: the room was spacious enough to unpack luggages and have noodle cup sitting... More

Now I'm rating this as a backpacker so it IS good when you compare its price with other backpacker hotels; with just a little more money you get something like a 'real' hotel sans private baths, but definitely not as posh or presentable as a 'real' hotel itself. B&B HP has a nice external presentation like what you see in... More

I thought I would chip in on my experience staying at this hotel in Hakone. I checked out of Citadines Shinjuku and proceeded to the Shinjuku main station and proceeded to the Odakyu Romance car counter on 2nd Floor or the west station exit. The girls there were able to speak fluent English and Mandarin. I would suggest for you... More

It is easy to get to. Take a bus to Kowakien (which is a big prominent station along several bus lines), then change shuttle bus at the Hakone Hotel right nearby. The room is clean. Although you have to share bathroom and toilets with others, the facilities are really clean. The public Japanese bathroom is also decent and clean. Vending... More

The good, the bad and the ugly... We knew it was budget hotel and we where warned it was a shared bathroom so here it comes: The Good! Price was OK in expensive Hakone, and if you want the real deal, pay at least double elsewhere… The room was clean; the single unit shower in the corridor was OK, although... More

Pros: The hotel is situated right next to Yunessun, which is a really cool onsen- spa "theme park" of sorts, and we were able to get a discount off admission from the hotel. The hotel itself had a lot of amenities ranging from their own onsen, breakfast spreads with pastries, massage chairs, and vending machines with all kinds of goodies.... More

We had one night here - a large room with twin (not a double) beds. It's in Kowakien, a good way from Hakone. There was a TV but the shared toilets were down the corridor and the showers were in a different wing. There is a shared hot bath (onsen) but you have to be stark naked to go in... More

We stayed 2 nights in Pension Hakone in november 2010 and we had no complaints. We had a big and quiet room with TV and fridge, but without bathroom. But no problem, we had hot showers with showergel, shampoo and conditoner next to our room, and the toilets were just at the other site. In stead of taking a classical... More

Arrived 8pm exhausted from climbing Mt Fuji, unslept and unwashed for 36 hours and yenless thanks to weekend (no banks) and absence of anyone who'd convert our American Express traveller's cheques. Met by 2 x Basil Fawlty types behind a counter asking for 300 yen tax (we'd prepaid but never mind) and an extra 600 yen to 'rent' 2 x... More
