Yumoto Station Hotel MIRAHAKONE — Hotel in Hakone

I enjoyed my three night stay at this small hotel, which is perfectly placed in a quiet back street, just five minutes walk from Hakone Yumoto Station and very conveniently placed for the shops and restaurants in town. My room was very small but very clean. The shower, again, is small but had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water.

The hotel is not staffed, but I received good communications from them as to how to self-check in, and it worked perfectly. There was a plug-in liquid mosquito repellant in the room, and air conditioner as well. There is no lift/elevator - something the hotel makes very clear. I did find it a bit difficult getting my luggage up three flights of stairs, but that was my issue, not theirs. If you are elderly and not particularly fit or agile, you might want to request a room on the lower floor/s. What also might be an issue if you have movement difficulties is that the beds are very close to the floor and because the rooms (well, at least my room) was so compact, I found getting into and out of bed not the easiest thing to do.

I was travelling by myself, and had what was called an economy double room. It was fine for myself, with just one suitcase but I am not sure how easy it would be for two people to share this room. There is no space for a chair in the room, so to watch TV you need to sit up on the bed. I would have preferred a little more space personally.

The hotel seems to be attached to the pizza restaurant downstairs, which is fabulous. Great food,...

The hotel is just a stone's throw away from Yumoto station, one of the major train stations in Hakone. It's just off the busy main street. The location is simply great.||||The manager of the hotel was very friendly and personable - she entertained several requests and questions from our party, and delivered welcome drinks to our room. ||||The room itself was well worth the price. We were a group of four young men, so we got the room with 2 bunk beds. While we were at close quarters with each other most of the time, there was certainly enough room to open up a medium sized luggage bag. Each bed had a dedicated light and power outlet. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable. They fit just nice for someone around 1.7 metres tall. Taller guests will have to adjust.||||All toiletries were provided, along with nightwear. Four hangers were provided which hung on hooks on the walls. The toilet has a multi-function bidet, as so many toilets in japan do.||||Coffee capsules and a coffee machine were provided, but there were more capsules on the third floor, along with a washing machine which can be accessed if you let the manager know you need it. Washing can't be done too late at night as it causes noise for nearby guests.||||We were very satisfied with our stay and found that it was very...

This place really surprised me. I didn’t intend to stay in Yumoto (and now really don’t thing there’s much of a reason to stay there!) but had to at the last moment due to typhoon related road closures. The hotel is close to the station and main town area but is in a quiet street just back from the main road. The place has three or four rooms on each of a couple of floors. It’s so small that reception is in a little cabin outside of the entrance. What I really liked was despite the rooms being small, the one I had was really no wider than a queen sized bed, everything was there, everything was new and everything was very clean and tidy. Add to that very friendly staff and you really don’t need much more. If you’re not looking for massive of space this really was a lovely cosy...
