Hotel berhampiran GRANDVERT di Hakone

It’s a nice newly renovated building, with pretty garden views … but for the price the service was lacking. Queuing up to check in via a machine was a miss, and as a vegetarian I struggled at the expensive buffet. No help was provided when I asked for it, no reply to feedback left for management either. Next time I’d stay elsewhere and just pay for day use of their pool area, which was certainly fun for our 3yo.

If you are visiting Japan for more than a few days you must have a Ryokan on your bucket list – here we were greeted with a traditional tes reception and departed with memorable gifts – our room was full on Japanese down to the futons and the miniature table and chairs – there was an open veranda with a private onsen (built for two hot spring pool) – great for early morning wakeup and relaxation before sleeping – the food was divine – the table spread with many dishes of delicious offerings – I can’t say enough here – the Ryokan was established 140 years ago and served travellers on the dusty road to Tokyo – there are still some of the original rooms preserved – a large public onsen (study the etiquette before taking a dip) and a sizable garden to wander around and work off the breakfast – we were there for four nights in an area full of places to go and see and I regret we did not use some of the time to just relax and enjoy the experience – as you can see we loved this place – if there was a six I would gladly give it.

Saya tinggal di Jepun. Apabila tiada pelancong, akan semakin sedikit orang yang melancong dengan anak-anak! Hakone sangat cantik! Dan lokasi Xueyuehua Hotel adalah sangat mudah! (Saya cuba tinggal di tepi tasik pada hari terakhir, ia benar-benar menyusahkan, kecuali bas hanya pergi dengan bot, dan saya pening apabila bas membelok ke jalan gunung) Masih mudah untuk Gora! Perkhidmatan hotel sangat baik! (Hotel di Jepun mengenakan bayaran untuk setiap orang, jangan tanya tentang katil tambahan! Satu lagi orang akan dikenakan bayaran lebih) Bilik ini sangat besar, ini jarang berlaku di Jepun! Tetapi hotel ini sangat lama dan kemudahannya sangat lama! Hotel pertama apabila Gora Subway keluar, tetapi kerana ia sangat dekat, balkoni terdengar bunyi bising kereta bawah tanah! Tetapi tiada bunyi bising selepas ditutup! Di sebelahnya ialah Gora Flower Fan Hotel tempatan yang terbaik! (Fikirkan semula) Kerana wabak itu tidak termasuk sarapan pagi, saya tahu bahawa saya perlu membuat tempahan apabila saya pergi ke sana. Terdapat sangat sedikit restoran di sekitar, dan ia ditutup pada hari Khamis. Umumnya, ia dibuka pada pukul 11 dan berakhir pada pukul 5 atau 6 petang! Saya terpaksa makan seawal mungkin. Saya tidak tahu pada mulanya, saya hanya boleh membeli mee segera di tingkat satu hotel. Ambil yukata di tingkat satu, jangan lupa masuk! Terdapat tiga mata air panas peribadi dan dua kolam besar. Saya juga mencuba mandi batu di tingkat dua (juga ditempah). Mata air panas yang besar pada asasnya sangat sedikit! Hubungan wabak! Pembayaran dibuat secara automatik oleh mesin, dan dibayar untuk mandi batu 1500➕mata air panas 900!

Very interesting archetecture, great view of Mt. Fuji and a good price were why we choose this hotel. We arrived around 6 PM and were told we couldn't use the restaurant because we didn't have a reservation. We had to drive back to interstate about 15 minutes to find something, there is nothing at all in the hotel vicinity or even a little snack shop on site! Buses very limited. The front of the hotel was nicely painted and landscaped, but the back with patio was pretty shabby. But it did have seating outside for great fresh air. Parking was free but coming back after dinner the covered parking was all full and we had to park lower level in the rain. The room had a strange layout, a 3-mat room for a passageway (luggage drop?) and a small bedroom that one person could get out of bed on one side, but the other person had to crawl over the middle of the bed in the night to get out. In the closet were 2 hard hats?? In case Fujisan starts spewing ash? I think maybe this room was the staff's emergency room when forced to stay. The public bath was disappointingly small, so got crowded quickly. And the view? Of course it rained so no view of Mt. Fuji at all. Not in the hotel's control, but left us disenchanted... 4-star hotel. I don't think so.

Beautiful hotel with nice rooms and onsen and a cozy setting. Staff are professional but slightly distant.

非常棒的一次體驗 老闆姐姐很熱情，我走的那天下雨了，還送了我一把傘，很開心。 環境很好，一覺醒來可以看到山景 早餐很精緻，還有餐後水果和咖啡 傳統日式的旅館，佈置的很温馨 好喜歡！ 離大平台站非常近 温泉是室內的，一個池子，比較像國內小澡堂，特意去箱根泡温泉的可以選擇去箱根的天山湯治，泡完回酒店休息

Our room was a moderate twin room on 3/F (facing the podium car park which means no view). The room design was good - overall the room size was small (even in tokyo standard - not any bigger) bathroom was even smaller but still provides the essentials that you need. The hotel is more a business hotel which offers everything that you need (free yakult, ice bars, hot coffee, chocolate, ramen, comics corner, and more), hotspring and footbath. Everything you can name, just go and get them/ experience yourself. I appreciated the fact that the hotel has tried to put everything together in a compact space. There are 3 areas for free car parking, each of which is not big - the nearest car park 1 adjacent to the hotel is always full after 6pm. However, there is still no need to panic as another parking area 2 is just nearby (like 2 min walk). Breakfast was just okay - mostly Japanese with limited western choice. Last entry for breakfast is 9am which is very early, making the restaurant always packed during 8-9am. For the 3 nights spent there, our family of 3 had to sit on bar table for 2 days and queue outside to wait for a table (10 mins) on the last check-out day. The waiting was not a very pleasant experience afterall. During the Christmas holiday, the restaurant has also reached its max capacity and life would have been easier for staff and guests if they could extend the breakfast hours till later like other hotels at 10:30am. We will want to try other hotels in Gotemba next time.

Impressed by the infinity pool design of outdoor onsen on 6/F. Can watch sunrise with stunning view. Need to confirm if can go in for the morning during your stay as they switch gender for every day. It’s not a problem if you are staying for two nights. Food is nice and breakfast buffet has wide variety of dishes. Free shuttle bus is available to Garo station every 30mins.

初めて虎の湯さんに泊まりました。土曜日泊にも関わらず リーズナブルな料金設定なので、口コミ高評判でしたがあまり期待はしていませんでした。まず施設は元電通の保養所のようで、赤レンガの内外装が高級感を醸し出しておりビックリしました。作りはホテルとは異なった感はありますが◎です。温泉は内湯のみですが薄っすら白濁してます。硫黄の匂いは湯の出口で少し臭いがしますが、浴室内は殆どしません。源泉の湯量が少ない為、加水のみであとは掛け流しのようで、肌がスベスベになりとても良い泉質です。湯上がり後もしばらくの間ポカポカが続きます。夕食の牛シャブはお代わりサービスとの事ですが、やはり頼みづらくハーフを1回だけ頂きました。付け合わせの野菜やサラダのボリュームがあるので、全て平らげると、野菜だけで女性や食の細い男性でしたらかなりお腹がいっぱいになるのでは。しかしながら、夕食は嬉しい誤算でした。前菜3品も良く出来てます。胡麻ダレも　ポン酢もキツくなく肉の味を殺してません。肉もモモ肉？なのか部位は教えて貰えませんでしたが、適度な霜降りで、シャブシャブにして食べるにはベストな選択かと。飽きずに肉の甘みと旨味が堪能できます。ただお腹が膨れ始めた頃に肉のお代わりをした為かも知れませんが、少しお代わりの肉は最初の肉に比べて肉の甘みより微妙な臭みがして、一瞬「えっ」と思いました。ポン酢と浅葱を足して頂きましたが、妻は気がつかなかった様子なので、私の気のせいかもしれませんが。デザートのバニラアイスも濃厚でミックスベリーのソースも手作り？なのでしょうか、とても美味しく最後まで楽しめました。 総じて自分の中では見た目、味つけ、ボリュームと大満足な夕食でした。朝食は見た目は可愛らしいのですが、ほぼ出来合いのものを並べたようで手作り感はあまり無く残念。湯豆腐とシャケは温かく頂けましたが。接客態度はよろしいとは思いますが特に食事時の人手不足は感じます。この日は満室との事なので、平日利用ならまた違うかと。人件費と、サービスを削減したからこの宿泊費でこの宿を利用することが出来るので致し方無いと思います。仙石原でこの料金でこの内容で泊まれるのは助かります。

Right next to lake Ashi the hotel boasts very good views and location. The food we had was very good but we were part of a coach trip so the menu was tailored to us. The breakfast was however a delightful surprise as it was better than expected. The staff were as always for Japan very pleasant and accommodating. The morning presented us with great pictures of Lake Ashi with Mount Fuji in the background.
