Hakone Yunohana Prince Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Nice setting (and surrounding area within Hakone) and we enjoyed the serenity of this property. This property is a bit aged, so air conditioning is absent in room. Weather was good during our stay (not super humid hot) so we had no issue. Having said that, I would imagine we would definite appreciate the traditional style of heating when visiting during winter with its snowy view over the golf course."

Hakone Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice but antiquated hotel in Hakone. Conveniently located at Lake Ashinoko adjacent to the "Pirate ship" dock. It gets very quiet after 4-5pm, with very few restaurants in the surrounding area. Motohakone is a short 10-15minute walk where you'll find the closest 7/11. Also a nice scenic walk to the Hakone Shrine. Take advantage of your stay in Hakone by getting up early and visiting the Shrine before the day crowd comes in. Very peaceful and serene in the early morning."
