Delicious food
The breakfast and dinner was very delicious. The meals were made freshly with quality ingredients. The room was nice, the private onsen on the balcony was nice.

Nice but not value for money.
The setting of the property and the general idea is very nice indeed and a good introduction to a traditional Japanese stay. That said the property is looking quite dated and the rooms can certainly be cleaner, for the price paid this was not the complete first class experience I had hoped for. Overall the stay was good, but I was expecting something much more up market for the costs involved.

Had a great stay at Hakone Airu, the service was quick and polite, and the rooms were great. They also gave a lot of food for dinner and breakfast. the ryokan itself was quiet, clean, and we'll maintained. I would recommend this place to anyone. The only thing I would say could use improvement is that the wifi is very weak.

El hotel no es un hotel que valga ese precio. Está descuidado. Muy mala comida y bebidas. Check out a las 10:00.
Las personas fueron amables pero muy difícil de comunicarnos en inglés.
No lo recomendaría para nada.

A very beautiful Ryokan in Hakone! When we first arrived, we were welcomed warmly by the employees. It is a very traditional Ryokan with Indonesian-inspired decor. We had to leave our shoes at the front of the hotel and didn't receive them back until we left the hotel. Check in was quick and seamless, and we were welcomed with a complimentary drink.
The room is spectacular. Large room with a balcony that hosts a private onsen/hot pool. Amenities were plentiful but we wished they had a smart TV with streaming services available. The beds were mats on the floor that the staff help set up while we were at dinner. They were very comfortable with big comfy comforters.
Dinner was delicious. We received the King Crab dinner but it was coursed out with other appetizers and dessert. They also offer complimentary Western or Japanese breakfast but we skipped out on that.
All in all, great experience and would love to stay longer for our next stay!

We LOVED our two-night stay here. It was the perfect way to end a 2-week Japan trip. We stayed on the 4th floor with a family of 4 (10- and 11-year-old children). Staff were so friendly. We loved our private balcony onsen, and there was a wonderful range of skincare products in our room for our use. Loved the private dining room (kids appreciated having a kids' menu option) and they'll accommodate food needs (e.g., I don't eat meat or raw fish and they gladly made substitutions). Kids loved their in-room massages. Easy 10-min walk to the train station, and while there is a (short) steep hill it really was quite walkable (for us, even with a suitcase). Would absolutely recommend this place to friends/family and would stay again.

This morning we were supposed to take the taxi to the train station and the hotel said they had reserved two taxi for us. But the hotel told us both taxis couldn’t come right before we had to leave, we had to walk to the station in the rain. We almost miss the train.

definitely not Japanese Ryokan standard
This property is dated and the room is small. Quality of foods for breakfast and dinner were below average and does not represent typical Rykan standard. I was misled by social media recommendation and the experience was really bad.
