Hotels With Spa in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

My colleague stayed here before and recommended it, so I decided to give it a try this time. It's a bit of a shame the window wasn't perfectly aligned for the best view, but I could still see the ocean, which was nice. The area downstairs is great for walking around too, with malls, drugstores, and supermarkets all easily accessible. Plus, the subway is nearby, making it super convenient for getting around.

Good hotel, city location but need to pay the parking at times car park if your car is too high

This hotel offers great value for money. It's my second time in Hakone, and compared to the hotels by Lake Ashi, this one feels much newer. The rooms are quite spacious for Japan, with a 1.5-meter bed and a 1.1-meter bed side-by-side. The toilet is separate from the shower, which is a wet/dry design. The view from the window is also lovely. The hot springs are on the sixth floor, featuring both outdoor mountain-view onsens and indoor ones. The outdoor area also has a single and a double private pool, which is a nice touch. Overall, it's pretty good. The breakfast and dinner are more Japanese style, with ramen, miso soup, sashimi, and sweet shrimp. The mattress in the room was really comfortable. All in all, a great stay. Right opposite the hotel is the Okada Museum of Art, which I highly recommend visiting, especially as a Chinese person. The first floor of the five-story museum is dedicated to Chinese porcelain from various dynasties, with the oldest being a green-glazed阁楼 (pavilion) from the 2nd-3rd century BC (Former Han Dynasty), standing about a meter tall. I won't say too much more, as photography of the artifacts is not allowed.

The soundproofing in the room was pretty good. Even though I was placed right next to the elevator, there was hardly any noise. This is my second time staying at this hotel in Yokohama; last time I had a nice sea-view room, but this time I opted for a city view. There was no one at the front desk who spoke Chinese, and their English wasn't very good either. I had to rely on a translation app to check in. Right after I lay down to rest for a bit, I suddenly heard my room door being swiped open. It scared me, and I quickly went to check. Luckily, I had engaged the security chain. A man's hand was already reaching into my room, trying to disengage the chain. There was a male and a female staff member outside the door. I was too shaken to grab my phone, but I understood him asking if I had checked in. I showed him my room card, and he said something else I didn't understand before leaving. The next day, I complained to the platform. The hotel sent three different emails with varying excuses and eventually stopped responding. However, the platform kept following up and communicating with me, which was good.

It's a short walk from Fujisawa Station. We arrived before 3 PM and, since we had sightseeing plans, left our luggage at the front desk without any problems. The room was of average size, but we slept quite well. I had read reviews suggesting there wouldn't be a private shower, but the twin room we booked had a bathtub and shower head. Perhaps it just meant there was no private hot spring bath? The breakfast was good, and you could borrow an iron from the front desk. Overall, it was a good experience.

This is a very spacious onsen ryokan with a kids' book corner and a manga nook. The private onsen baths are free of charge, making it perfect for family trips, though they are quite popular and require a queue. There are complimentary afternoon refreshments and late-night snacks. The courtyard features a bonfire and foot bath. From check-in in the afternoon, there are always facilities to use, and it never feels too crowded, even on weekends, as the space is very well-arranged and comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located right next to Gora Station, making it easy to get around by bus or train. The staff are very friendly, and snacks are constantly replenished, so you don't have to worry about missing out if you arrive late. After a hot spring bath, there's milk and popsicles available. The 24-hour self-service beverage bar also has hot water and hot tea, so those who prefer warm water are covered. The only downside is the lack of a full-length mirror in the room, which is a bit of a pity.

The hotel is nice and not far from the train station. There is a McDonald’s and a Lawson right in front of the hotel, which is very convenient. Transportation is easy and getting around is hassle-free. However, the sound of passing trains can be noticeable, so it may not be suitable for light sleepers.

The hotel is incredibly convenient, located directly within the Odawara Station complex, although it can be a little tricky to find for first-timers. From Odawara Station's East Exit (stay within the station building), take a short escalator down. You'll spot the Lusca mall on your right. Upon entering, Marugame Udon is on your left, and Seijo Ishii supermarket is directly opposite. Walk past Marugame, turn left to exit the mall, then turn right onto a glass-enclosed walkway outside. Continue straight, passing a parking lot on your right. Keep going until you see the hotel's directional sign (like the one in the last photo). Take the escalator up to the 4th floor, where you'll find the hotel lobby. We stayed in a Double B room, which was relatively spacious and well-suited for a family of three. This particular room type, which we only saw listed on Ctrip, was excellent. The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation but no bathtub. However, the public bath on the 10th floor was very comfortable (remember to bring your own towel!). There's also a foot bath on the 14th floor offering scenic views. If daily cleaning is desired, simply place the 'clean my room' sign outside your door, and fresh towels and yukata will be provided. Even if you forget the sign, they thoughtfully leave fresh yukata and towels at your door – a really nice touch. I appreciated this considerate service that respected our privacy. The bedding was comfortable, and individually packaged facial cleanser, makeup remover, and body lotion were replenished daily. Odawara is a wonderful city, and this hotel's location makes it extremely convenient for visiting Hakone, Atami, and Kamakura. I would love to visit again and would definitely choose this hotel for my next stay. The only minor downsides were the slight train noise (though I still slept very well during my three-night stay) and the slightly stiff toothbrush provided.

Room Condition: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Restaurant: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Facilities: ⭐⭐⭐ Hotel Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The hotel doesn't have a coin laundry on-site; there's one about 500 meters away, so be prepared for a short walk. On the bright side, a Seven-Eleven convenience store is conveniently located right near the hotel entrance. The rooms themselves are quite spacious and comfortable. Do note there's no clock or TV, which makes for an incredibly quiet stay. While there are hot spring facilities, they are gender-separated, and there are no private onsen baths. This is something to keep in mind. Finally, if you have a car, you'll be perfectly fine. If you arrive without one, the hotel offers a pick-up service, so there's no need to worry. Additionally, a bus stop right by the hotel entrance makes getting to tourist attractions easy. Just remember to check the bus schedule.

This was my first stay at a Prince Hotels property, and I was really impressed with the facilities. They even had ********* staff who spoke Chinese, which was a huge help. I had such a lovely day there! Definitely book a lake view room if you can. The hotel also offers a shuttle service from Odawara Station three times a day.
