I think the hotel needs a sign in English too as it was very difficult to locate . Also the dinner is very expensive.

We absolutely loved Suiun. The special attention to detail is superb as the choosing of a kimono and the pajamas is fabulous and we so enjoyed wandering around in our kimonos for breakfast and dinner. The room was huge and our private onsen was spectacular .in fact the variety of onsens was incredible and we tried every one. The breakfast was amazing and too much food but tasty and the free beer much appreciated.

Suiun was an absolutely incredible experience. I can speak some Japanese but they also had staff who could speak in English to assist us. There were a lot of free inclusions to our stay: a yukata to wear in the hotel, multiple drink and snack bars, and free late night ramen. Our room was so clean, spacious, and beautiful—we enjoyed having a private open-air onsen bathtub to ourselves too. Their multi-course breakfast and dinner meals were so delicious and filling. We enjoyed their onsens so much: there are three private ones and one public one, all of which were very traditional in design. Suiun met all of our needs and went above and beyond. I want to come back here on a regular basis. It is only a 7 minute from Gora station.

The staff was slightly rude when we arrived earlier than 2pm. But we were able to leave our luggage there while we went to explore hakone before our check in time.

Food was amazing. Great customer service. Loved the hot springs. rooms were spacious. very organized.

The place is wonderful, very peaceful and beautiful. The food is incredible. I wish the price were a little bit lower because compared to other ryokans is quite high.

This is a great hotel for those who want a real Japanese feel to their stay. From the moment we arrived (shoes off please) we were warmly greeted, offered a kimono to wear and shown to your authentic Japanese ryokan-style bedroom with its own private onsen. The well-equipped room was supplied with beer and water as well as tea and real-coffee beans and a grinder. At 10pm free ramen was available in the lounge where you could also help yourself to draft beer, coffee, tea etc. The breakfast was outstanding for those who want to try new foods, whether you opted for the Japanese breakfast menu or the western one. Tip - allow extra time in your schedule in order to savour the many courses offered. If you didn’t want the elaborate menu a range of bread/croissant/pastries were available too. The hotel has larger onsen for use by its guests - one for men, one for women and three smaller ones which can be booked (if it’s not in use you can use it). We chose to use the onsen ion the balcony of our room (for which there was a small but unexpected charge ) Thoroughly recommend this hotel if you are exploring the area, planning on using the Hakone Ropeway (cable car) to the lake for (if you are lucky!) views of Mt Fuji. Another great attraction is the open air art museum (15 min walk or 1 stop on rail) with a wide range of sculptures, a Picasso exhibition and lots to interest the children too.

We loved every bit, every little detail, honestly we have stayed in many wonderful 5 star hotels and this beats them all! The staff we so attentive from the moment we walked in. The place was spotless. The dinner was incredible. They even gave us a honey moon gift. The onsens were heaven! All the extras and amenities and details were thought of. The location was great. We kept saying we just can’t believe it isn’t a higher star rating. It was just so wonderful and we wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved our 1 night stay here; everything was amazing, the room, service and amenities were wonderful. Next time we will book a room without the private bath because they have outdoor private baths for use. We had their traditional dinner and breakfast included and what an experience that was!

We cannot recommend this location enough we were blown away in every regard from the room itself to the staff to the breakfast, you name it. It was a 10 out of 10.

Onsen in the unit was very private and make us feel very much at ease and comfortable as it is our first onsen experience. Nothing to dislike about it.

Everything was perfect; clean, comfortable, excellent service, awesome food and facility. Close to the ropeway!

Loved the property and the staff. Only thing I would like to suggest is to maybe cater to vegetarians as well. I understand that the meals are all about seafood and meat but many people that do come to visit the area are also vegetarian. The Just a suggestion.

Nothing. Maybe a lesson on how to tie a yukata!

As soon as you walk through the entry garden into the lobby, take off your shoes, walk across the tatami floors and enter the world of Suiun, you know you’re in for something exceptional. The spacious rooms are graciousl with attention to detail, the private onsen in the room with the mountains in the distance were a treat. The kaiseki dinner was delicious and presented beautiful as was the Japanese breakfast. What makes Suiun so special though are the people. So kind, helpful, friendly and professional all at once - a winning combination. A fantastic experience.

Note that it's quite a climb from gora station, and also, we tried traditional Japanese breakfast for the first time, and we didn't really enjoy that - but they have western breakfast as well, that we didn't have.

We loved this place. So many extras and free amenities, so welcoming. Of course the in-room open air bath (onsen) was so nice, and the room itself was huge and beautiful. We had a small issue with our booking, but the hotel managed it amazing. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're visiting Hakone, don't consider anywhere else

The location is great, and close to the station. Meals are tasty and exceptional

The staff wasn‘t able to deliver on our few easy requests (fruits for breakfast, taxi booking). Maybe it was due to the language barrier but for the price I think you can expect a certain standard.

The room, Onsen and meals were all amazing.

Everything about our experience at this Ryokan was exceptional. The rooms are spacious, very clean and have great amenities such freshly ground coffee, a selection of teas and cold drinks. The private onsen was very special and had a wonderful view of the mountains. The food was delicious at both breakfast and dinner, using seasonal ingredients, expertly prepared. Finally the service was faultless. Staff are incredibly kind and helpful. Overall it was a complete pleasure staying at this ryokan.
