Gyokutei Hotel - Hakone

Dining like royalty in Hakone

The multi-course kaiseki dinner was a culinary highlight. A major delight was the private onsen in our room. Each morning, we were greeted with vibrant breakfasts served in our room, setting a perfect tone for the day ahead, even if it meant an early start. The children's amenities were a thoughtful touch.

Strongly recommend for a city escape

Charming room, good dining, with spacious traditional interiors that make you feel at home, complemented by the lovely onsen experience which was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration, and being just an 8-minute walk from the train station adds very nice convenience for sightseeing.

Nothing could be improved.

Everything was nice, amiable staff, splendid views of Japanese garden. The location of the hotel was very central, close enough to the Hakone Yumato train station, and the pond. Hakone Yumoto Onsen district was definitely worth visiting. The room was quiet and huge, I thoroughly enjoyed to be there. In general the service was very good!

Exceptionally good views, enjoyed marvellous setting.

The breakfast offered a wide array of fantastic meals.

serene tatami suite with exquisite kaiseki dining experience and revitalizing onsen

The private onsen was a blissful retreat after a long day, and the authentic kaiseki meal left us awe-inspired. Every bite was crafted with seasonal flavors!

Liked nice bathroom and central heating, a flat-screen TV and a refrigerator in our japanese-style room. The view of garden was particularly good. Location: the hotel was just next door to the garden, the private pond and the major train station...

The hotel was in a good location right by the garden as well as the Hakone Yumato train station. It also was on top of a hill.

The multi-course kaiseki dinners were a culinary delight, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with fresh, seasonal flavors. Plus, the private onsen in the room was pure bliss after a long day exploring! Dreams do come true here!

Really good multi-course dining!

The food was delicious and offered variety daily. We also loved the onsen experience. Super relaxing after a day of exploring. The location, while on a steep slope, was just a short walk to the train station was nice, especially when visiting nearby temples or enjoying the beautiful scenery.

One downside was the strict timing for breakfast. It was served early at 8:30 AM, a bit tough for us to adjust to, especially after long days out.

An really good experience awaited us, especially with the perfect presentation and taste of every dish served during our multi-course meals-fresh seafood was a highlight that delighted the entire family. The onsen, nestled in a tranquil setting, provided a perfect place for relaxation after our daily adventures. Be prepared for a steep walk from the nearby train station, which can be tricky with luggage. And breakfast so early at 8 AM required some adjustment, especially after long days out exploring.

I loved how cozy and traditional everything felt, from sleeping on tatami mats to enjoying exquisite multi-course dinners served right in our room. The hot spring baths were a real treat, and the peaceful garden added to the relaxing vibe. Just be ready for a bit of a workout on the way up the slope. a little baggage service goes a long way! 😊

the staff were kind and polite. the walk from the station is steep.

The onsen experience was fantastic, especially for our teenage kids who loved soaking in the warm waters while enjoying the beautiful forest garden view. The multi-course dinners were a good culinary adventure that even our picky eaters enjoyed, bringing smiles all around.

My children wished for better signage to direct us to the ryokan.

Our room was reasonably large and had 4 futon mats. the bidet in the clean bathroom was super awesome. the hotel was in a very central setting on top of a hill. It was also next to the Hakone Yumato train station.
