Gora Hotels near Hakone, Japan

Beautiful hotel with home style comforts. Not having to wear shoes in the facility gives an extra level of comfort while you walk around in your kimonos. Staff is friendly and do their best to communicate with you in English if necessary. Highly recommended.

Hotel is older style, nice, the onsen (hot spring) is great, breakfast good, it's just a long way into the middle of (country) Japan and takes a long time to get to the area. Once there the hotel is lovely in that it is set amongst the beautiful trees and greenery. Enjoy

hot springs directly into the bath tub in your room

Helpful staff. Some staff spoke English. Olsen was very nice. Buffet breakfast was more than we expected.

The room was spacious and clean. The bed was terrible, and the room was dated, but overall not bad. I slept ok, my husband not so well. The restaurant prices were extremely high, but a short walk to nearby restaurants with much more reasonable pricing.

Hakone was a highlight of our holiday in Japan! Part of this was because of the excellent service we received at the Resorpia. Our expectations were exceeded! We had dinner in the hotel the two nights we stayed there and before they took our order, they asked if we had any food allergies. I mentioned that I had an allergy to corn which is a very common ingredient in Asian cooking. They took painstaking effort to ensure that there were no corn products - of which I sincerely appreciated. The next evening when we booked our dinner, they confirmed they would prepare a corn-free meal for me. I didn't have to say a word. The meals were fabulous - albeit pricey. The hotel was spotlessly clean and although our room was not luxurious, it was certainly adequate. The only thing that was a bit odd was the bathroom. Every time I stepped into it, I felt like I was on a cruise ship. It was that small and prefabricated like on a ship. It did the trick though and had one of those fancy high tech toilets so who am I to complain! The location was very convenient to local transportation and all of the top tourist sites. I would return in a heartbeat.

It's basic thrust is to offer little to the guests to keep the price down . The breakfast is coffee or apple juice and a choice of bread rolls. There are shared bathroom and toilets. But all in all an ok place. parking costs unless you ask for a discount ticket. The place feels a bit dated but it's ok. Clean enough.
