Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 2,369 reviews
A hostel in Miyanoshita, Hakone, housed in a renovated wooden building from 1914. Guests most frequently mention the thoughtful care from the host, Kana.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise 'the host's kindness, itinerary recommendations, and booking help.' Though old, it's well-maintained and clean, with a communal kitchen and lounge for mingling with other travelers. It's a 4-5 minute walk from Miyanoshita Station, with easy access to bus stops, bakeries, and convenience stores.
However, some note dust and noise due to the old building. Evenings make surrounding alleys dark and a bit scary to return. Suited for light packers using mixed dorms or private rooms.
