We arrived just after 2pm to leave our luggage, but instead were warmly welcomed and given our room key. The Gaku hotel is maybe 10 minutes’ walk from the train station through the underground passageway. One public onsen is also about 10 minutes away on foot. Despite the very convenient location, the neighborhood is near-silent, very serene with a major park just up the hill. We heard no noise at all from our second-floor room. Our tatami was clean and airy, with air conditioning and extra bedding in the closet. The bathing facilities were separate but ample for all guests to use, uncrowded and unrushed. There was a communal kitchen and fridge, as well as vending machine, area to play pool. The same friendly Mr Ryogo Komuro who checked us carried my bag up the stairs from the street to the second floor room and later provided very detailed travel info for the limited time (2 days) we had available to enjoy the Hakone Loop with our Hakone Free Pass. Highly recommend this hotel, if you can do without the traditional ryokan experience with in-room meals and onsen!

Excellent location for accessing local tourist attractions, more comfortable than some hotel beds ive slept in despite being on the floor. The receptionist was a lovely, courteous, and extremely helpful person. The buildings ground floor also has a pool and ping pong tables. The communal shower and toilet areas were clean and wellstocked.

Cukup bagus, hanya saja kamar mandinya kurang nyaman dan cuacanya agak dingin saat musim dingin.

We stay here for 2 nights. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is close to Goa station, and only a few minutes walk. There is a common room and a small kitchen. On the rooftop, we can gather to relax and chill. On the ground floor, there is also a recreation area. Overall, the stay was very enjoyable. We hope to come back again.

This place is very nice, the staff is friendly, and the location is good near the station. The rooms are comfortable too. We have waited for a typhoon there! The view from the rooftop is breathtaking!.

I stayed here for two nights with a friend who was traveling in the hakone region. One of the better options near gora station if you are traveling on a tight budget. The rooms are simple, clean but spare and you sleep on a japanesestyle futon. Shared bathrooms and showers were fine but should have been cleaned better by the staff. The shared living room was nice with a fridge to store things and comfortable seats to relax and meet other travelers. The roof was accessible and had chairs and a picnic table, with nice views to relax and have a drink. Friendly staff that speaks english.

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!

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.
