K's House Hostels - Hakone Yumoto Onsen

I originally thought that the Hakone Onsen Hotel was too expensive and the cost-effectiveness of traveling alone was not high, so I chose a youth hostel. The experience of 3 days and 2 nights was more than I expected. An old man received me when I checked in that day. Although he had an accent in English, it did not affect communication and understanding at all, and there was no communication difficulty. What was more surprising was that all guests could take a hot spring bath, and there was no limit on the number of times. When checking in, only one towel for hot spring bathing was issued, which had to be reused or rented a new towel from the front desk. Unlike hot spring hotels, they could not take a bath in the morning, but in the afternoon and evening, and they were divided into indoor and outdoor areas. I experienced it on both nights. There was no meal, but the kitchen was open 24 hours a day, and free hot water, tea bags, seasonings, dishes and pots were available. Personal items needed to be labeled and stored. It was more than 1km away from the station, and some mountain roads needed to be climbed. Convenience stores were basically less than 100m away from the door, but there were few restaurants, so I had to go to Hakone Yumoto Station to eat. The dormitory is a mixed room for six people, mainly occupied by European and American backpackers. There is a male and female bathroom on each floor, as well as two shower rooms. The guests are relatively friendly. Overall, the experience is good and I may consider living here again in the future.

Clean and sanitary, with hot spring facilities.  The service was excellent Suitable for solo travel But the location is really bad There are only one or two buses passing by in an hour, otherwise you have to walk up the mountain for 10-15 minutes.

Hot spring hotel. Not many people in winter. It is very convenient to walk from Odakyu Line. It is very convenient to have Hakone Ticket. The outdoor hot spring is great.

The hotel suddenly increased its price, so I booked here temporarily. It's very clean and the service is good. The only drawback is that it's too far from the station. It takes a long time to walk anywhere.
