Guesthouse Azito&bar

Definitely the best “hostel” I’ve ever stayed in. I mean it’s not a hostel I suppose but the capsule are so cool and spacious. Such a comfortable bed too. All the facilities are clean, big and nice. Cheap too! Little bit of a walk from the station but it’s not real problem and there’s buses if need be anyway!

The staff working here were really nice and helpful, and check in and check out were really easy. The sleeping area was really spacious but it was quite warm at night and I struggled to sleep while sweating. The showers and bathroom area were nice too but a little dirty. I think it was good for the price I paid though.

This is by far the best accommodation we have had during our 3-week trip to Japan. The staff are very friendly and polite, and made us feel completely welcome, even though our Japanese is limited - the employees here speak English very well. The accommodation itself cannot be complained about - incredibly comfortable beds, clean and easy-to-use toilet and washing facilities, and a full kitchen for visitors to the guesthouse. This accommodation is within walking distance from a Family Mart and a 7/11, as well as a good few eateries - so food and other goods won't be an issue. There are also a few shrines in the area, as well as natural areas, such as the river and the woods - both of which have footpaths. If you're interested in wildlife watching, I would strongly recommend this guesthouse especially if you're trying to see Japanese birds. Lastly, there is a reliable bus service nearby for days out to places such as Lake Ashi, and the train station is only on the other side of the river, so you're in a perfect place for sight-seeing! I truly cannot recommend these lodgings enough, and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. A thoroughly welcoming, friendly place with all you can ask for. Love from England- we will be back!!🇬🇧

You’ll probably struggle with your luggages when you go up the very steep climb but it’s definitely worth it.🙂‍↕️ The staff is really sweet and everybody there very friendly too. They gave us tips on what to do and where. You can as well have dinner there which was really good, though there wasn’t a lot of options

Stayed 3 nights Pros: -Absolutely amazing location. It is on a hill but I managed 2x 23kg suitcases on my own as my delivery service cancelled last minute (not hostel’s fault at all) -Lovely common area & bar -Great friendly service -Spacious capsules & beds were comfortable. -Definitely worth the price. -Bathroom & toilets were dated but they were clean. Cons -I stayed in November and it was absolutely freezing in my room. Heater didn’t heat the capsule at all and the duvet was too thin. Because of the constant cold I caught flu which ruined most of my trip. -There should be hangers for coats outside not inside the capsules especially considering it was raining a lot. -I wish they provided white towels and normal pillows. Pillows were old cushions and didn’t fit into the pillowcases and they smelled. Towels were dark brown and smelled too so I used my own towels. I get it’s a budget hotel but hygiene should be the minimum requirement. -Couldn’t lock the capsules, so as a single woman I felt unsafe especially when a rowdy and loud American group came to stay on my last night. But overall I would stay here again if I were to come back to Hakone and wanted a budget hotel.

Really nice place, everything tidy and clean. I loved the concept of different room as boxes for an hostel instead of the classic big rooms. Also the restaurant is really nice

Hostel with double pods and lockers to put your belongings. The facilities were clean and we found the pod quite cozy. It was nice to sleep in there and the other guests were respectful so we had no problem with the noise. I recommend bringing earplugs just in case

Comfortable and homely accommodation in Hakone. We had a private room, and were impressed that we got toiletries to use, as well as tea/coffee so we could have a cup in the morning. It's good value for money I think. It's a decent walk up a steep hill from the station.
