Hakone Hakone Pirate Ship Hotels

"We loved the onsen hot bath outside, the room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very polite and helpful, and the food was good including the Japanese breakfast set and the udon we ate for dinner"

"A beautiful hotel and building interior. My wife & daughter both used the women's onsen multiple times and were very impressed. We had both the breakfast and dinner buffets, and I would say they were par for the course for hotel meals in Asia - very good, but comparable to others we've had. Staff were exceedingly polite and friendly. Again, I would expect this in Japan, and I was not disappointed. We used the shuttle to nearby Gora station twice, and that was very convenient. The room was very clean and I took advantage of the tub in the balcony. The room is small, and it was a little hard to get around for 3 people. Unfortunately, there was no place to store our 3 suitcases out of the way, and they were on the floor and we had to step over them. But all in all, it was a wonderful stay, and I would stay there again."

"We really enjoyed staying here and experiencing Hakone. The rooms and baths were very nice and clean. And the staff was super helpful and friendly! Would definitely recommend this stay. "

"Beautiful Mt Fuji views from our suite. The most incredible and responsive service from the front office staff who provided efficient and timely transportation by shuttle to nearby bus/transportation stops as well as to dinner and even the conbini one night when the only restaurant that was open (Jan 1) was full. It is definitely a food desert in that area, but we made do just fine. We enjoyed the shared onsen which was not busy at all. "

"The villa is great. We loved everything about the unit. It was spacious and clean, had lots of amenities, and the private onsen was great. The layout for us (6 people) was awesome. The unit had multiple toilets and places to get ready. The fully equipped kitchen was very much welcomed. While we did not cook, and only heated up store-bought food and cup noodles, there are pots and pans and even an outdoor grill if you want to cook. There is even a vending machine that has limited food options to cook. There are drawbacks, and mainly it is the location. It is not easy to get there with public transportation, there are no convenient store within walking distance and restaurant options are limited. Also this check in was harder than it needed to be. The app/link they sent ahead of time for check in was slow and kept having error, so I ended checking in on the tablet in the room, but that was a bad expereince as well. It took over 45 min for me to self check in, scan passports, type in information etc... But overall, we really enjoyed the time we spent at the Villa and onsen. Great place to relax and decompress and have a rest/slow day. "
