The hotel has excellent restaurants, wonderful buffet for dinner and breakfast.

The breakfast too was international and delicious.

Next day had the breakfast which was very good, especially the local seafood and Kamakura ham sand sausages.

but there were many people to take care of the breakfast in the morning.

Breakfast was a choice of Japanese or Western set menu.

The hotel is located behind a huge beautiful forest, you can make a wonderful walk after the breakfast.

The dinner and breakfast buffets are both very nice, lots of choice with great service.

Buffet breakfast was excellent with a variety of choices of foods and drinks.

Good restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

Positives: Friendly & efficient front desk staff, great breakfast & onsen.

The breakfast buffet has many selections of Japanese and Western foods, all of which were very good.

We enjoying breakfast buffet which had quite a lot to choose from.

The pool area was fairly large and had ample changing and shower areas as well.

The food is so delicious and special (Japanese local style) Hilton honor really did a great job.

We were glad we tried the buffet breakfast and were delighted by the variety of food choices.

- really comfortable and enjoyable service in many ways starting from check in to check out, and thank you upgrade room and special section for breakfast area, for loyalty member,  especially very pleased on hiking trail as well as spa facilities.

A wide range of buffet style multi cultural dishes were offered, which were delicious.

Breakfast was good, as are the excellent pools.

We were only able to stay one night, so couldn’t experience all of the countless facilities,

Ashitaka, Chigasaki Golf Club, Shonan Green Golf, Hyakuwarai no Yu, Mito Beach, Fuji Safari Park, Rokusennosato, Ishida Chagyo Honten, Izu Mito Sea Paradise, Okeba Gallery & Shop, No no Eki Izu, Iida Wasabi, Gensan-ji Temple, Hamasuka Swimming Pool, Izu City Museum, Hachidai Ryuoshin, Monument of Danjuroyama, Numazu Sannoura Tourist Information Center, Izu City Tourist Information Center, Surugawan Numazu SA, Shuzenji Bridge, Neopasa Tsurugawan Numazu Inbound, Nakaizu Indoor Heated Swimming Pool Fureppu, Kano River Memorial Park, Monument of The Site of Japan's First Rocket Gunpowder Experiment, Nakaizu Gama Gallery Dharshing Nakaizu Tobo, Mt.

Joined a Les Mills lesson in the gym with locals which was professionally done!

The staff and the facility were well prepared and made us feel welcome and safe during our entire stay.

Very nice facilities; big, clean indoor heated pool, a dog run, a nice gym, lots of open space, an arcade, a playroom for kids, a bowling alley and also a mini golf course.

They have free swimming arm tubes for babies.

Very nice gym, onsen, swimming pool, tennis courts and more.

Room and bathroom well equipped with nice view on lake and mountains.

Excellent world class hotel with many facilities, extensive grounds, impeccable service and a beautiful onsen.

We spent a full weekend with two kids and another family, and we were totally blown away by the great service and facilities.

The hotel has great facilities especially the spa etc

This resort is equipped with spa pools and hot spring that I really enjoyed,

The property is massive and the building also is large with a hotel building and the fitness wing separate to it.

It seems to be quite new with spacy and well equipped rooms.

Another member of a large group checking in with us tried to throw his considerable weight around, screaming about all his Hilton Honors points and threatening the staff.

Lovely rural setting with endless facilities.

Pros:
+ Great swimming pools (many, low chlorine, interesting designs, esp the underwater relaxing bed and open air pool overlooking the mountains)
+ Great Onsen facilities - the lockers, the baths the whole system for swimming pools and Onsens is great 
+ Allow you to use these facilities even before checkout and aftercheckout
+ The view of ocean from teh room was great and all rooms have ocean view
+ The room size was big and had a tatami table and two large beds.

but cool weather but swam outdoors in the heated pool area!! Brilliant!!

Relaxed in the large outdoor jacuzzis before having a good risotto for dinner.

The pool area was so much fun for our daughter.

Our 3 year old daughter especially enjoyed the heated pools.

My husband enjoyed a swim in the lap pool.

While at the resort, we also played a round of mini-golf, went bowling, and used the pool a couple of times.

That hotel is a pure family resort with all you need for the whole family; swimming pools in and outdoor, driving range, table tennis, karaoke, amusement, you name it.

There are various attractions such as a gym, pools, bowling alley, mini-golf and the like.

The water was very warm in the leisure pools, and there were lots of various jets to massage our weary limbs after walking 30 miles the previous week through Tokyo.

3) Swimming pool and water spa area "baden", great for kids.

Didnt enjoy our stay primarily due to the absurdly small room.

The room was tiny and we expected better due to the money we spent on the accomodation.

The hotel is very expensive for its small rooms and there is nothing in the neighborhood.

We were disappointed by this, two loose mattresses, in a tiny room (half the size of the one in Tokyo), with beautiful view over the ocean.

Room was small and not very comfortable getting into beds or when using the writing desk.

The room was small, luckily we only came back to the room for sleeping.

although it was a small room - more business hotel size than resort hotel size.

Housekeeping replaced all the smelly linens the 2nd night.

The food is "edible" and the rooms have a very odd smell (like old people).

This was the 1st time that I have ever paid for a NON-SMOKING room.

I requested offal or JIEME and got up because there was a smoker, so TA which has prepare a smoking room and is saved.

but the bowl reeled of cigarette smell (despite it being a non smoking area) so we gave it a miss.

I said no .. (I had booked through booking.com and selected no smoking) any how after back and forwards and a pushy .

No smoking hotel (with a tiny enclosed smoking room upstairs somewhere).

Unfortunately, several times an unpleasant smell pervaded the room, which we chalked up to the construction on the floors near us.

A bit strong scent of chlroine for sanitizing.

but it was so poor that we skipped it the rest of the time - canned fruit, substandard in both the Japanese and the Western foods, stale breads, empty food containers - they could not keep up with refilling the food despite making the patrons wait when presenting for the buffet.

In addition,  furniture in my  room also has a  lot of stain and I feel strange smell in the room.

There was an odd mildewy smell in the hallway the entire time we were there, and our beds also smelled a little funky up close

The non-existence of non-smoking policy also lets this hotel down a bit.

Hotel is high on a hill over looking the ocean.

I think the view improves the higher the floor, so aim for the highest of the twelve levels you can get!

The room had a fabulous ocean view with extremely comfy beds!

The rooms are spacious and the view is absolutely incredible.

Location is on top of a hill so it provides excellent views of Sagami Bay.

View was great out of my 11th floor room.

We stayed under highly unusual circumstances as the Ocean Lounge was closed and buffet breakfast cancelled due to the Corona Virus scare.

We received great service from all the friendly staff in the hotel from the lobby staff, to the Ocean Lounge staff A special thank you Ms.Yagi and Mr. Igata

It is a super beautiful resort, just in the famous Hakone area, so you can enjoy their great natural hot spring and the amazing water land.

It is located in a very quiet Nebukawa area (Nothing around the area that I highly recommend you to stock up on essentials prior to arrival) Nice view on Lake, Mountains and lots of Orange trees.

The view from our balcony on the fourth floor was spectacular, especially at sunrise.

but it's actually couple train stops away) on a hilltop overlooking the ocean.

The view is so nice when you’re relaxing in the hot spring.

The resort is on a hillside and the rooms have panoramic views of Sagami Bay.

Being from Australia, we aren’t fluent in Japanese and lined up for breakfast exactly as the sign said - ‘please wait to be seated’.

However, getting to this is a bit of a trek, as you have to wait for the (relatively irregular) hotel bus to take you to Nebukawa Station (the bus was not running to Odawara due to "traffic congestion"), and then wait ages for a local train to take you to Odawara.

Thankfully, a taxi dropped someone off at the hotel and we only waited 5 minutes.

(Japanese are so punctual I’m sure we were 30 sec late and they left) normally I would of just waited

I felt a little embarrassed to have had to wait so long while she made this life changing decision (sarcasm) on whether or not she could give me a 2pm check out.

but you do not even have chopsticks or cutlery there to put in on your dish on your own, you have to wait for the staff to put a little bit of it on your dish.

however,  here we noted the only setback of our stay : we had to wait in line for more than half an hour  (it was worth it).

It was quite a long wait at the station and quit hard to get to the main part of Osaka to eat for dinner or sightsee.

Had to wait for nearly 15 minutes to have them prepared at the Main Kitchen.

The restaurants were crowded all the time, breakfast was 40 min wait both mornings.

however, had bad service and we had to wait for quite some time till our food arrived or to have our questions answered about the type of sauce they use.

Some small slices of roast beef were available, one slice per plate already plated up and sitting around waiting for someone to be interested.

Traditional japanense breakfast was included and was  great to experience at least once.

Half board highly recommended to sample the different foods on offer & the food was delicious.

We loved everything about our vegetarian meal, traditional japanese kaiseki was delicious and the breakfast was great.

We also got the traditional dinner and breakfast which were delicious.

Breakfast was again an array of delightful tiny  bowls with all sorts of foods to try.

however the food is exceptional - multiple course traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner included in your room price, beautifully presented.

We loved wearing our yukatas for dinner and breakfast and to the onsen.

I stayed 3 nights and all meals (breakfast and dinner) were different and each more delicious than the one before it.

You will find public and private onsen, you can ask for a Japanese style room with futon, the breakfast is Japanese and is presented beautifully.

The food was delicious, I only had the breakfast

This included 4 futons on the floor, along with a tea, plus a full dinner and breakfast.

Do the full package with breakfast and dinner.

Traditional futon beds and traditional Japanese clothing laid out for us to wear to dinner and breakfast.

The dinner and breakfast that comes standard with the booking was exceptional.

The only good memory of this hotel is the lady who served us at dinner and breakfast.

We booked the kaiseki breakfast also, which was a lovely experience in a private room.

We did the breakfast which was super tasty.

We had forwarded our bags from the main bullet train station in Tokyo (to save us lugging them around the Hakone Freedom Pass area) when we left Tokyo in the morning and they were at the hotel (and in our rooms) before we arrived.

We had 2 large bags in addition to some smaller suitcases and we were lucky there was room for them.

The pillows were rather uncomfortable (like a bag of wheat, which I noticed were in a few of the other hotels we stayed in).

Coming from Kyoto was more complicated than we expected, so we were very glad we had shipped our suitcases and travelled with only overnight bags.

Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly including the women (in my case) that show you all of the basics of your room and how to operate appropriately in the baths, etc.

Bear in mind that the hotel only takes cash.

Please note that they accept only cash payments in Japanese Yen.

Any charges billed to the room are paid at this time in CASH.

----

*The only negative thing I can say about the hotel is this: when you enter, you realize that your online booking DID NOT immediately charge your credit card like it said, and YOU MUST PAY CASH WHEN YOU ARRIVE.

The experience begins by changing to Japanese clothes, Japanese hotel room where you sleep on the floor, Japanese restaurant serving authentic food (you can get fork and knife if you ask - we did not).

You're supposed to shower in their public bath and obviously in Japanese terms, no clothes are allowed inside

Don’t bother with massage was the worst one I’ve ever had, light rubbing through clothes!

We wanted to leave soon after breakfast so we wore our normal clothes to breakfast,

When we check into the hotel we were a little disappointed, it looked like any other hotel lobby and people (reception and guests) were in western clothes.

please don't wash your clothes in the hot springs).

The Mount View Hakone is near these landmarks: The Hakone Open-Air Museum, Gotemba Premium Outlets, Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History, Shasui Falls, Fuji Reien Cemetry, Clematis no Oka, Manazuru Peninsula, MOA Museum of Art, Taio-ji Temple, Kakitagawa Park, Tadano Togawa park, Mount Fuji Children's World, Oisojoyama Park, Oshino Shinobi no Sato, Oyama Afuri Shrine, Izu Panorama Park, Mt.

You can also walk about 5 minutes to another bus stop which takes you directly to the premium shopping outlets in Gotemba (approx 20 min ride).

but at the price we paid it simply wasn’t special enough.

For the price, it's the best deal in the area, luxury feeling with a budget.

We paid for a private onsen which was fabulous - sitting in the hot water looking into the bamboo grove behind the hotel was one of the highlights of our stay.

There is a public bath and a private one that you can book at extra expense - both are wonderful and definitely worth it.

The food was also amazing, and the private onsen experience was very much worth the additional cost.

Conclusion
For the price it sounds like a good deal

It was absolutely worth the price and a nice experience to end on.

Although this hotel is obviously more pricey than others it is worth every penny.

We ate the set price meal for dinner one night - wonderful!

Quite pricey for standard of accommodation,

It is a 2 hours ride cost YEN 1900 per person.

I felt it necessary to rate this place relative to the type of experience and accommodation this it is.

Breakfast and dinner included at a very convenient price and perfectly presented.

Room rate includes breakfast and dinner, not too fancy

but we chose the private 45 min onsen experience which was lovely (cost an extra 3000 yen which we felt was worth it).

We also booked a 45 minute slot in one of the private onsen which was lovely and not an unreasonable price.

but the decor is in need of updating, the dining experience not relaxing and an overall feeling of paying too much for too little. Disappointing.

When we arrived, the hotel was clean, appeared to have had some remodeling in the lobby and common areas, which was a pleasant surprise as the photos seemed to suggest a dark and older building.

Upon arriving at the hotel, I noticed that the hotel grounds and interior is in much better condition than what the photos actually show.

This was really handy given it was raining when we arrived and not appropriate for outdoor sight seeing The room was traditional ie fairly basic

We had the traditional Japanese room which was so lovely with a view out to the mountains.

We stayed in a traditional room, sleeping on futons on tatami mats and wearing the Japanese robes, which was a lot of fun.

We stayed in a traditional Japanese room, so great to have the experience.

The traditional Japanese room was surprisingly comfortable and we slept through Typhoon Faxai.

The room was peaceful and we sat at the table and had green tea.

The room was excellent, the staff was amazing and the food was unbelievable!

The staff very very friendly and helpful, the rooms were spacious and clean with great view of the mountain (past another hotel :)).

We loved our room which was very traditional.

We stayed for one night and really enjoyed the traditional room, yukata and dinner.

Our room was a traditional Japanese style which we loved.

My room did have it’s one toillet and shower.

This is a lovely hotel with great service and clean rooms.

Check in was straight forward and our rooms were perfect.

You get tea and sweets when you enter the room, and there are yukatas (Japanese-style robes) for you to wear during your stay.

The rooms are quite spacious and the robes just lovely to wear around the hotel.

gorgeous outdoor onsen looking out to a view of bamboo.

The room had a small screened in porch area that had a view of the surrounding mountains.

Loved Hakone too - open air museum and Pola - consider getting a train from Gotemba to Namazu then to Mishima to then get the bullet train for inward journey (instead of return to Odawara) as there are amazing views of Mount Fuji  on a clear day - get bus to outlet then free bus to Gotemba station.

Despite the name of the hotel we did not have a view of Mt Fuji from anywhere during our stay.

we booked this in particular to relax as it was away from the city and in the midst of the mountain and nature.

The bigger one is a single wooden bath filled with hot spring's water with the same view of the previous one.

The room was big, clean and we had a nice view on the mountains.

It's a local line with lots of stops and the road gets windy and steep as you go up the mountain.

Choice of public of private onsen, all outside overlooking a bamboo wall.

Lovely and big rooms with views, nice yukatas and tea sets.

Nice view of mountains from my room (316).

We also booked a private onsen during our stay and the view from the onsen was amazing.

Enjoyed the private onsen at night with its bamboo forest view and also tried the common onsen upon waking up before breakfast (male and female separated).

This overlooks a bamboo grove and is beautiful.

The only drawback for us was bright sunshine at 5:30 AM through our east facing window with beautiful

This was absolutely stunning and my favourite part of the stay.

The public areas have lots of old photos, history of the place, and here and there some historical items on display.

This hotel is by far the best place to stay in the Hakone area.

The public areas have been maintained/refurbished quite well and they do ooze charm, especially for those who like historic hotels.

We used them on all modes of transport in the area.

The swimming pool area could be wonderful

We were hoping that we could have a drink from the menu in the hotel lounge area

The main public areas seem a throwback to the 1920's.
