Hotel Kajikaso

Hotel Kajikaso

8/10 Good
"Overall, our experience was good. Our first night was wonderful- we were met with friendly staff and the dinner experience was wonderful. The food was good and each portion of the meal was explained and were presented in a beautiful manner. Although the second night’s dinner was not like the first night - we discussed it with the hotel management team and feel they are going to make every effort to ensure other guests will have a memorable experience throughout their stay. Disappointed that we couldn’t stay for breakfast the next day due to an early checkout to continue our itinerary."

10/10 Excellent
"A perfect one night stay for my two-day visit to Hakone. I made the hotel aware of an allergy ahead of breakfast and booking their kaiseki meal, and they made every effort to accommodate me and serve me food catered to my dietary requirements The onsen was a wonderful experience, with lots of helpful guides in English for my first time. A calm, restful and restorative stay"
