Nakai 4 Stars Hotels

"The property is beautiful, private balcony with private onsen were AMAZING! Room was comfortable and well laid out. That part is definitely a 5*. The staff were friendly, mostly helpful, but not so much if you got there early. They did take your stuff, but didn't help with directions on how to catch the bus or where to walk. The food is where this property lost a star (I'd give it a 3, maybe upper 2). The dining area is beautiful and peaceful. The actual food needs some work. The first course was set out 10 min early and was meant to be warm, we arrived on time and it was cold. They proceeded to bring out each course in rapid succession and we had a ton of food in front of us. Not a proper kaiseki meal. As we dug in the food was ok, how they managed dry fish in soup is beyond me. I'd stay here again - but would skip the food and enjoy it in town instead. One other note - if you stay here know its at least 30min away from the lake and the majority of the Hakone Loop. So I'd suggest accounting for that in your time planning. "

"Wonderful stay, the staff were very attentive and the onsen beautiful and very well kept and relaxing. The town is worth visiting. Definitely a highlight in our trip. "

"Staff was very friendly and kind. The breakfast was really a top notch. The onsen in the balcony was amazing. The hotel is huge. There was nothing to complain. "

"Very traditional experience. High quality food. Nice onsen."

"I stayed here with my sisters and we had the best time ever. Every meal was prepared with great care and details, and delicious. Outdoor spa in snow was fantastic. And more than anything their staff members were unforgettably friendly and kind. We want to visit again soon for sure. "

"The projector was broken and the hotel knew about it."

"Staff is very attentive however there is very little options for dining and no transport after 630pm with no options for taxi / I was also disappointed that we were not allowed in the onsen areas due to very small tattoos however we were stilled charged the “bath fee” for resort without being allowed to use the areas . I feel a discount should be made for guests the refuse service to these areas or allow for them to book private times. Charging guests for resort fees when they do not allow them to use the area isn’t acceptable - again staff was very pleasant amd we enjoy the area even with upgrading g to mt Fuji lake view without any view due to rain - we are happy with the hotel but still disagree with extra charges for bath and resort fee since we were refused entrance / we were also charged very large tourist tax which was not informed until check out my Expedia bill said we would pay Y76000 our final bill was over Y108800 because of bath fee and tourist fees I wish to look to be refunded for the bath fees or please consider policy changes for other guests when they are refused entrance - charging your guests then not permitting them to enjoy these areas is in quality service I expected "
