Gora Hotel Paipuno Kemuri Plus Reviews

Service from the staff is excellent. As the period we go is a cold season, there is no aircon running in the hotel. They provided us with a standing fan upon our request. Hotel is only 2mins walk away from Gora station!

2 mins from Gora station. Highly recommended for short stay & with low expectations of Onsen. Because the hotel is very close to the train tracks, wear ear buds to reduce the noise when sleeping. No complimentary water bottles & snacks provided.

Great location. Just right in front of the Gora station and bus stops are just right outside the hotel. Very convenient location to every parts of hakone. The furnishing in the room and hotel seem old but cleanliness wise is acceptable though not fantastic in Japanese standard. We purchased the dinner as there are no restaurants open past 8pm except restaurant in hotels. JPY3800 per pax is considered expensive as the quality of food is just so so but some alcohol drinks are provided. May be that’s the reason for this price

Just right next to one of the most popular train station, 5 minutes walk. However, there were quite some noises from the trains (despite not as frequent as the daytime) and you definitely need the ear plugs at the concierge.

After 7pm Nearby no restaurant to serve dinner, but can take train from Gora station to next station got Lawson 24hour Dinner at hotel very expensive 3800yen per person Breakfast at hotel 2200 yen per person

The hotel is right beside Gora train station hence it is very convenient. However the downside is that the trains are noisy in the morning. We were also disturbed by the drilling when the workers did track maintenance at midnight. Though it wasn’t too loud like at the construction site, it may be loud enough to interrupt sleep as we opened the window to let some cold air in. There was only heated air in the room. The room is dated but clean and ok to stay for 1 night. Breakfast buffet had enough variety of Japanese and western food. The hotel reception provided excellent service and advice for options as my plans to take the ropeway was disrupted due to strong winds.

On the website it said all children are welcome to stay in the hotel, one child per room is free, but when I got there they charged me an extra 22usd for my daughter of 3 years old to stay in the same room and she couldn't enjoy bath, not even private.

Good location , reserve for private onsen

We stayed here for a 3-day, 2-night trip. This was our first time here, but it was very good value for money and we had a comfortable stay. You can enjoy the hot springs from morning until night, so you can enjoy them whenever you like! The meals were buffet style, so both adults and children could enjoy as much as they liked of what they liked. The side dishes seemed to be for commercial use, but compared to the surrounding inns, it was a great deal in terms of price, so I thought it was totally worth it. There was a soft serve ice cream machine and we could have as many refills as we wanted, which the kids were thrilled with. The rooms were divided into smoking and non-smoking, so we had a comfortable stay. I'd like to stay here again!

The food was buffet style and included all-you-can-drink, which was great. There was also an open-air bath, so you could relax and enjoy yourself. The atmosphere was calming, retro, and antique, which was lovely.

I made a reservation a few days in advance, but the system didn't allow me to make a reservation for children, so I made a reservation for the number of adults, but when I checked, I was able to rebook for elementary school students with a detailed explanation. Even though we were traveling with a large group and it was a tight schedule, the staff were very polite and we had a very meaningful time in a calm atmosphere. One thing to note is that it's a good idea to check the dinner time, such as what time you can enter and what time you can enter. (I wonder if it changes from time to time?) When I was there, there were two sessions, and I could choose the time, but there was a designated check-in time. Regarding the private bath. When I made my reservation, it was before check-in, but I was told that they accept reservations by phone from 8am on the day, so I recommend checking this as well.

The hotel is very conveniently located. The staff are very attentive. The outdoor hot spring is great.

The front desk service is good and the location is excellent, but the hygiene and facilities are average and the cost performance is not high.

Apart from the convenient location next to Gora Station, there is nothing special about this hotel. The room facilities are too simple and old. As everyone's comments said before, the train passed by the window and it was a bit noisy.
