Pros:

Das Hotel hat Charme, obwohl es sicher bessere Zeiten gesehen hat. Das Onsen ist hervorragend und auch das japanische Frühstück. Die Lage an Der mit dem Blick vom Zimmer im japanischen Stil hat uns sehr gefallen.
Das Foyer, das Kaminzimmer und die Bar sind einladend.

Cons:

Viele Details zeigen, dass eine Grundrenovierung überfällige ist, z.B. die rissige Deckenverkleidung im Frühstücksraum, der ansonsten einen tollen Blick aus den See hat.
Wie von anderen angemerkt ist auch das WLAN praktisch nicht verfügbar, insbesondere abends.

Pros:

We had a great stay in Kawaguchiko. The place is right by the lake, and our room was a traditional Japanese-style room, which was a nice experience.

It’s a little far from the train station, but the hotel provides a small shuttle bus around check-in and check-out times, which was very convenient.

There’s also a small bar with billiards and social activities. It closes at 10 PM, which is a little early if you’re looking to spend more time there in the evening, but it was still a nice place to relax and meet other guests.

The onsen was excellent, with great hot baths and a sauna. The staff were also friendly and helpful.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the location was great.

Cons:

The only things we found a little inconvenient were that our room had a bathroom but no shower, so we had to use the onsen upstairs. It wasn’t a big issue for us, and it actually turned out to be a fun and unique experience.

The traditional Japanese bedding was also not the most comfortable for us, but that’s probably just because we’re not used to sleeping on this type of bedding.

Great value for money
Pros:

Amazing views of the lake and Mt. Fuji, along with great hospitality. You can really feel the care and love that the staff put into making your stay special. The gym could be cleaned a little more thoroughly, but the equipment is brand new!

אחלה מלון ואזור מהמם, לקחת אטמי אוזניים.
Pros:

מלון יפה, עם עיצוב מיוחד של פעם. חדרים מסורתיים, נוף יפהפה לאגם.
ארוחת בוקר מסורתית, מאוד טעימה ומיוחדת.
המיקום של המלון נוח ומרחק הליכה ממקומות נחמדים באזור.
הצוות נחמד ואדיב.

Cons:

שינה מסורתית על מזרנים על הרצפה, נחמד אבל לא תמיד נוח.
מדובר בבניין שנבנה לפני 80-100 שנה, ולכן הבידוד רעש בחדרים לוקה בחסר. כשהלכנו לישון שמענו רעשים מחדרים ליד, טריקות דלת, צעדים, ואת הטלוויזיה של השכנים שלנו. למזלנו ארזנו אטמים, אבל בלי זה כנראה שלא היינו מצליחים להירדם, אז לקחת בחשבון למי שרגיש לרעש.

Je recommande pour la vue vers ke lac et les bains chauds
Pros:

Vue du lac exceptionnelle, interieur de l hotel style ancien tres sympa, les bains chauds au dernier etage sont remarquables et donnent sur le mont Fuji quand le temps le permet, observatoire au dernier etage vers le Mont Fuji, navette pour vous recuperer et laisser a la gare centrale, garde des bagages apres le check off si besoin

Cons:

Le rideau de douche avait des anciennes traces de moisissure dessus ( ptobablement nettoyees mais visibles)

Pros:

Magnifique ! Le onsen est incroyable avec une vue imprenable sur le Mont Fuji et le lac ! Charme complétement désuet - kitsch mais tellement charmant !
Nous avons adoré ! Petit hic, certaines chambres sont fumeuses et nous avons hérités d'une chambre anciennement fumeuse. Pas évident l'odeur.
