Guesthouse Azito&bar

Very good "as advertised" hostel slash capsule hotel with great service and friendly staff! Private rooms are a plus, although I found them not well ventilated and had to keep my door open to get good sleep. (Rooms are essentially big wood boxes with one exhaust fan... But with no intake fan!) But: the futon was comfy, the facilities were clean if not charming, and I was pleased to see some updates, compared to older reviews: the free towels and additional sheets were nice. Also, this hostel is attached to one of the only bars in town, and it was fun to hang out and talk to other travellers (and locals) over a beer. Also, the staff is very accommodating, and they've done a great job of curating a really great vibe. So overall: recommended, and a great value. And a decent location once you realize how easy it is to use the busses. Also, they provide a ton of suggestions and guidance, so it's a pretty useful place if you're unsure how to get around or what to do. Give them a try!

Amazingly kind and helpful staff. Really clean place and dormitory. They also make simple food, but made with love so that it tasted really good. Beer and sake prices where really affordable. I highly recommend this place if you are staying in Hakone, you surely will have a great time! Special thanks to Luri san and Kento san that have been amazing host🤗🤗👍🙏 Thierry

Perfect little Japanese guesthouse. We stayed in the main building not in the dormitory/pods. It was a lovely traditional room with grass mats and futons. |The staff were lovely and helpful and gave good tips about the local area. The food was a bargain for dinner and drinks very good value as well. The only thing they could do better would be offer a basic breakfast. They do have tea and coffee but toast and butter/jam would be great. I would definitely stay there again.

Their description matches with everything they provide on site. Clean “room”, shared bathroom and toilet. You can hear other travellers trying to be respectful and only whisper in the sleeping area. This is my first time staying in a guesthouse, however I don’t think this is for me. After this experience I found out that I cannot stand “room” with no window. The sound proof is not so good so you can heard other people moving around in the evening, despite that you know others are trying to be as quiet as possible already. However their price justify the quality. So if you are ok with room that have no window, perhaps you can try this one.

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!!🇬🇧

Excellent Inn, the staff is very nice and helpful, the shared space has everything required and is very clean. The dormitary with private rooms have air conditionner and the rooms are very spacious, enough place to put some personnal items. There are also lockers provided, a single one can easily store up to 2 big luggages. You can also drink and eat food at the bar after 17pm,t it is cheap and delicious. It is near a bus stop that can lead you to the Ashi lake one of Hakone most famous places in 20mn. Special thanks to Gabi and Kento which are lovely host !
