    We were unable to set the thermostat to our desired temperature as it kept going back to 25 Celcius. Also, we were a bit put off by the shark fin soup.

    We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. The buildings and grounds were amazing the room was great. We also really enjoyed our meals, with the one exception below.

    Location is a bit out of the way, rooms very dark and dingy and the service could be improved not sure whether it was a language barrier but I requested a taxi to station on check in but this was not secured and on the day they advised the taxi company was fully booked. Feels like something basic hotel should sort out as a priority if this is an issue on the weekend. For the price I would have expected better. The result was having to catch 4 trains to the airport rather than 2 which was unnecessarily inconvenient Secondly I was waiting over 35 minutes as the only person in the bar - sure they apologised but as I was sitting right there whilst multiple rounds of drinks were served to diners in the restaurant I thought the whole display was rather odd if not rude. Finally took 35 minutes for someone to offer a drink, which was then provided free of charge as an apology. Again not the service expected for the money paid.

    Food was exceptional in the restaurant and bar was awesome touch. Onsen facilities were fantastic

    It’s very minor………but having a two level room is not very practical. Also getting to the property takes a bit of time, if you are new to Japan.

    The place is beautiful, and very relaxing

    Amazing place. Dinner and breakfast is included w the room, although Sake is separate. Wish I could've stayed another night, but since they have only 20 something rooms, they are booked all the time. The private onsen for every room is amazing.

    We could have booked a longer stay, but that's my fault.

    Suishoen's location up in the hills of Hakone is idyllic. The hotel complex itself is extremely well-maintained and tranquil, with excellent exterior and interior design. My partner and I frequently remarked to each other throughout our stay that we aspire to live in a home as fine as the room we stayed in. The in-suite onsen was extremely relaxing, and we took advantage of it multiple times in a single-night stay. The provided amenities of the room (clothing, refrigerated beverages, coffee, toiletries) were of very high quality. The couch and beds in the room were very comfortable. The included dinner was without a doubt the best meal we have had in a three-week vacation full of great meals, and the breakfast was excellent as well. Suishoen is conveniently close to the Hakone Open Air Museum, and to bus stops that could take one to the other sites of interest in the beautiful town. We will, without a doubt, return for a longer stay.

    The bathroom was on the bottom floor which was a bit inconvenient. The different trains it took to get up to the ryokan from Tokyo were very scenic and interesting but also quite crowded. It made it a long trip to get to the ryokan. My husband thought the Western style bed was a bit too low to the floor, but it was were super big and comfortable.

    It was a two story unit with the bathroom on the bottom floor which my husband didn’t care for but the space was wonderful. They had the table in the living room with a space to put your feet. The Japanese food for breakfast and dinner was so delicious. The staff was so nice and friendly. They had a car service that picked us up from the nearest train station. The in-room onsen was incredible - and it was big too.

    Email communication through booking.com could have been better.

    Staff were very polite and spoke good English. The Japanese kaiseki breakfast and dinner was presented well. The hotel was better than our expectations.
