Mediocre at best
Good view from the room but that was about it. Hot spring is mediocre and the food is even more so. Not worth the $2000 paid (family of 6) for a night including tax and half-board meals.

The property and the staff were excellent. However, the only complaint I have is the lack of pre-check in information. We did not know where the shuttle bus was located for pick up, or which train station the shuttle was at (or the pick up schedule). After missing the shuttle, we ended up using a taxi, which was quite expensive, rather than wait for two hours for the next bus.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location with lake views. We upgraded to a Japanese room with private onsen. Room was spacious (four of us). Facilities were also great but biggest let down was ventilation & mould on walls Not great for asthma sufferer. I raised this with the hotel who offered a small reduction on cost of upgrade but this doesn’t really compensate for the bad experience.. The hotel however said they would clean the mould properly next time.

We had a brief 2 night stay at Ryuguden. Given a message the day before, they provided us free shuttle bus rides to-and-from Odawara Station to the fairly remote spot it's located next to the lake. Once we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the reception and our receptionist at the time spoke good-enough English for us to check-in without problem. Then we were given the keys and shown to our room. The room itself is spacious, plenty of space to sleep, move around, and lounge all at once. Of course, the highlight is the view in front of the window, the view of the lake and Mt. Fuji. It's a great view. As for the (comfortable) futons, the staff laid them out during dinner and then put them away during breakfast. As for food, it's a chef's course for dinner. A manner of meats, vegetables, seafood, Schrodinger's tofu (the number of times a cube wasn't tofu...). It was delicious. For breakfast, a full spread. Also delicious. Each room gets assigned the same table in the dinner room for the length of their stay. And then the onsen. The indoor one in the annex building is serviceable. But the view from the indoor/outdoor one in the main building (provided free of charge to guests) is spectacular. There is no better way to relax then to soak and watch Mt. Fuji in the crisp outside air. We onsened twice a day. As for the location itself, many of Hakone's attractions are at most a 20-min walk. Very convenient. I recommend!

We had such nice time staying at Ryuguden. Fabulous view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Ashi from the room and Rotenburo, special kaiseki dinner and breakfast. 👍 All the staff were attentive and friendly! We would definitely come back!
