Beautiful lakeside location, good for ferry and ropeways. Expensive restaurants.
Pros:

The hotel is beautifully located on the shore of Lake Ashi and within walking distance of a Hakone-en lake ferry pier and the Hakone Komagatake ropeways. Very peaceful after our frenetic days in Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo with immaculate gardens and very nice Onsen. A very nice hotel shop selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs. Beautiful views of surrounding nature although sadly it was cloudy the whole two days we were there, so we didn't see Mount Fuji (not their fault - a quite common during the rainy season). The ride on the ferry (not the Pirate Ship) was convenient and close by. We also enjoyed the main Hakone ropeway over the Sulphur pools

Cons:

it's a 50 minute shuttle bus ride from the Hakone train station which you need to book in advance. This adds to the waiting around and time to get there. The two specialist restaurants were very expensive and there are no local restaurants outside the grounds to go to. The buffet for dinner and breakfast is much better but still expensive. The bar was very quiet and expensive but drinks from the in hotel store were good value.

Lugar de Paz e sossego! Maravilhoso
Pros:

Amamos a hospitalidade, a comida estava maravilhosa, atendia a todos os gostos, desde um menu japonês completo, até saladas, vários tipos de pães, frutas e opções com ovos.

O Onsen é uma experiência a parte, nunca tinha experimemtado, funcionária me explicou com bastante respeito e foi maravilhoso! Super recomendo o Hotel.

A localização é privilegiada, de frente para o Lago Ashi, do lado do ponto de ônibus que super usamos, além do fácil acesso com Táxi também.

ONE OF THE BEST IN HAKONE
Pros:

The location is immaculate

The service is commendable

The Front desk is absolutely fabulous and the help and service they provide makes the stay even more great

NADAMAN the Japanese is must try , not a set menu person so did not try the others

Only thing is the limitations of the area of no availability of dining options nearby but the Free Shuttle to MotoHakone that runs untill 7pm is a great help
Though there also you get an Italian & 7-11 which are open untill late and other places close by 5:30

The hotel is so great that if they arrange a good room service with options that cover all tastes one doesn’t need to move out only, 24 hours

There is also a bakery and some shops nearby that are there until 6

Overall this is a place you would love to come back to

The lakeside is picturesque and you just can’t get up once sitting and relaxing there , can see Mt Fuji very beautifully

The ropeway just opp the hotel is as good or sometimes better than the main one

Nothing more to be said , it’s a lovely place to say yes to
The place takes away the limitations of time Hakone has

A timeless retreat by the lake
Pros:

The location is exceptional, right on the lake and surrounded by a beautiful park. The hotel retains an ageless charm, blending timeless architecture with the serene beauty of its surroundings. We requested a room with a lake view, and it exceeded our expectations. The room was spacious, elegant, and very comfortable. The onsen experience was truly wonderful, allowing us to relax while being fully immersed in nature.
The buffet dinner was excellent with a large choice of food.
