Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
At booking, I had made a mistake in dates and asked for a small change but was refused, thus losing a night’s payment of about £70. When l stayed at the property, l was alone most of the time, so l know that the change of dates l had asked for could have easily been accommodated. When in Japan, it was extremely difficult to reach the property on the phone. I had to seek assistance from Expedia on every step. At the property itself, no maintenance whatsoever — garbage was not picked up a single time during my week-long stay. With the exception of a staff member called Yogi who tried to be nice,, the rest was disappointing. Expedia should not be promoting this place.

My family and I stayed at the Tsubaki room for two nights. The room is originally for three people but the hostel nicely provided another futon for a fee. It was so cold when we stayed at the hostel so we didn't get to hang out at the rooftop but we enjoyed playing pool and table tennis on the first floor. We also needed duct tape for my luggage--good thing they had one. The hostel smells nice, too!

Great Guesthouse
The location is near Gora station. The staff were friendly and able to speak English. They are very helpful too. Great location. Moving around is very convenient. During our stay, the cable car is under maintenance. It was replaced by buses. There was a common lounge and cooking area. There's aldona rooftop where one can relax there. In the ground floor, there's recreation area.

A 5-7min walk from Gora station, and there's the underpass you have to cross with stairs leading up and down. Reception was on the 3rd floor if I recall correctly, so again, you have to bring your luggage up, and then to whichever level your room is on. Toilets are clean, bathroom is nice and spacious. Sinks are available at the end of the hallway on each level too. You can stay in the common space until certain hours, there's a console there. Pool table on the first floor, and there's a rooftop too, both of which you'll need to seek permission from whoever is at the reception.

Kind staff
Zaku is very kind to help us take all our suitcases to 3rd floor. We have 3 large suitcases and 4 cabin cases and because we are catching the Hakone ropeway, we just leave all bags to Zaku and he brought it all to our room. The room is large for 7 persons, very comfortable and we can sleep very well. We even cooked the rice and boiled the water. Meet some guests from Sidney and Indonesia too. Shared livingroom. The only cons is the stairs is bery narrow to 3rd floor. From gora sta, find a tunnel and go down and up stairs, then go straight, the hotel is not far from there in the right side. Use google maps.

Everything is good
We had a great time at this guesthouse, it’s very cozy and the person in charge is very friendly to us thought they speak very little Japanese. We were given a tatami room for the night, and you have to make your bed.
