Hotel berhampiran ウエルシア小田原中町店 (調剤薬局), Odawara

I don’t know if this place went through a renovation or not but I was reading the reviews from a few years ago and it was not like that at all. Room was big and clean and modern. Very nice bathroom, shower, etc. the sleeping area was big. Could sleep 4 adults comfortably at least. The one bad thing was the rice pillows! The pillows are made entirely of rice it seemed and they were very uncomfortable. So bring your own! If possible. Price is a bit high. Slightly less than $400 USD, but that includes full dinner and breakfast and 3 drinks per person. Alcohol included. The dinner was..l interesting. Very Japanese style, did not know half of what I was eating and some was good and some was spit out worthy. But definitely a unique experience. The staff was amazingly friendly and accommodations and helpful. Impeccable service. For that alone it would be 5 stars. People there are so very nice. Nice onsen/ spa areas. Womens area includes 4 pools. 2 inside 2 outside. They give u full robes and what not to wear into there and there’s tea available in the spa. They are renovating the outside so the front isn’t very aesthetically pleasing. But the gardens are gorgeous. Would recommend.

Wonderful onsen hotel, quite a walk from hakone yumoto station but it’s worth it. Got a room by the river, onsen was amazing with men’s onsen in 7th floor and outdoors, buffet spread was delicious especially dinner. Would love to return!

Great hotel located near Gora station. It was a lovely stay in a very traditional Japanese hotel. The highest score for me goes to the staff who are very friendly and helpful. I stayed an extra night in a different booking and did not need to check in again. Very efficient reception. They were also very accommodating to my friend who is vegetarian. The hotel needs some modernisation but that is part of the charm. Great place and lovely holiday in Hakone.

We were greeted by hotel staff upon arrival. We were not given the option to select dinner time, which was set at 8pm which was late when compared with counterparts. We were only given the option to change to 5pm on the subsequent night, which was not convenient for us. The arrangement for who gets to be seated with the forest view or not is unknown and strange. On the first night we were seated at a room without a view, which was stuffy and adjacent tables full of uncleared dishes which give rise to an unpleasant odour. The other customers sitting in the room was served food all at once encompassing shabu shabu, while sashimi bowl was offered as a buffet. We were offered a forest view on the second night. Food was served according to courses, which was average and sashimi offered was similar to what was offered in the buffet though in large pieces. Breakfast was better with Japanese and western foods available. Rooms and onsens were nice. Recommend only choose the room only option as food was really not up to standard when compared to other Japanese counterparts.

To enjoy the Infinity Pool we got up at 6 am. The facilities have a very chic design, black and gray with modern Zen lines. The view was great but wouldn't be in bad weather. Only 2 smaller jacuzzis and 5 sunbeds. Already it was pretty packed with young 20 somethings. The sunset should be fantastic. The onsen was a floor below, a large square indoor bath and one outdoor with wooden slats covering the whole view but letting in air. Nothing special. The fitness room was still closed and so was the lobby bar (Covid). We arrived after eating in Enoshima. We had a seaside room with a balcony but no seating on it; our daughter+kids had a mountain view): a smaller room with no balcony, less space and parking lot view. Our plan did include the infinity pool/onsen admission (after the Long Beach summer season closed). Breakfast was fantastic-something for everyone in a bright sunny room with ocean-view. Parking costs ¥1000.

This is a fantastic experience to stay in this hotel. Due to Covid19, I didnt try the public hot spring but book the room with the Japanese bathroom. The hot spring is hot enough though our room is not the sea view but u can definitely release all your stress. The food and service are highly recommended and next time will world being my family to stay at least 2 days to enjoy !

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.

性價比高。離熱海站很近，步行距離5分鐘，十分方便。出JR站後左轉一直筆直走就到了（途徑公交車站，對面還有一家全家）。自助入住，check-in的時候記得向工作人員要個燒水壺，不要房間裏是沒有的；牙刷、杯子等一次性用品在電梯那裡拿。不過呢，早餐是很小的三明治和咖啡，吃不飽，不推薦。入住前可以在酒店裡預存行李（一層自動行李箱）。MOA美術館可以坐酒店前的公交直達，但是還是建議去熱海站總站去坐車，否則可能會沒有座位。工作人員比較冷臉，不熱情。還有一個不好的地方是從熱海站到酒店途中會經過一個天國葬祭場，有點晦氣~其他都比較完美~

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.
