Hakone Retreat villa 1/f

We pre-booked room 8 with private outdoor onsen with garden view, sofa with log burner & baby grand. We were there in August so it was a bit wet and green, before the autumn colours, so expect even nicer then. It was quiet, near the Lalique museum bus stop (purple route k - also on same route as Pola art museum stop), but take a taxi to get there if you have luggage, as the final road to the hotel is uphill through a wooded area, so not recommended with luggage. Once you arrive at the hotel arrival area (a small wood cabin) you will be transported to the reception area by golf buggy. Check in was a bit challenging but other staff had better English. Onsen was nice (albeit check its hot enough before you get in as staff are the only ones who can increase the temperature for you). Kaiseiki meal (included on first night) was a very good experience, albeit my husband didn’t enjoy the Japanese breakfast (included) as much! Sake and beer rather than wine offered in Japanese side. If you want to east ‘western’ style in the hotel (as we did on 2nd night - no restaurants around about) note only a set menu is offered. It was however excellent, but note if you are staying in a cabin you will be reliant on staff to transport you here & to the lounge / bar area, as it’s a fair distance from the cabins, especially if pitch black at night time. Room finish wise - a bit rustic / worn, hand held shower, had expected better otherwise a good experience.

Rent, hjelpsomt personale, et flott sted å trekke seg tilbake noen dager for å finne roen

西餐很好吃，很療癒的感覺。 這個地方比較適合自駕遊，對面就是玻璃之森博物館，附近一兩公里內有便利店。

周りの雰囲気が最高でした。 また部屋の設備も素晴らしく、温泉付きBluetoothの音響設備もあり最高でした。

室内はとても綺麗で温泉でも心からリラックス出来ました。和食のお食事も美味しかったです。ただドアの鍵が中々掛けられず苦労しました。また、スタッフの方の対応も良かったですが、お願いしたものが届かなかったり、依頼したチェックアウトの時間を過ぎていたりと少し気になる部分もありました。
