強羅base A棟 - GORA Base A

The common space, the bar and snacks, the kitchen

What a lovely and efficient little apartment! It was really clean, and had everything we needed. Not a bad walk from the station (10 minutes), although Gora is hilly and you will get good cardio exercise! We really appreciated having the laundry facilities (as well as detergent)!

Nothing really.

Plenty of room, close to the train and comfortable beds. loved reading the story of its build.

Classic Japanese house - spotlessly clean and comfortable. Referring to some previous reviews, the location was perfect. Yes, it was a slight walk up hill from the station, but you don't expect everything to be flat when going to the mountains, right? This was a great property, a short walk from the station.

Two things suprised me - while not major, are disappointing. First, given the price point, I was most surprised to have to pay extra for the washing machine. I was paying for a full apartment/house, so why charge more for the facilities within it? First time I haver ever had to pay extra for the washing machine. Two nights later we stayed at a similiar type of place. It cost half as much, and it did not cost extra to use the washing machine. Second, I thought the check-in/out times were not the best. 3pm in, out by 10am, with no flexbility. Contrast this with the place we stayed the following night with a 2pm check-in and 11am check-out, which is much more common.

It’s very clean and comfortable.

I don’t think I have something I don’t like about this property

We don't need to carry the key, the room is unlocked by the code. We can save the code on the phone's note which is pretty convenient.

The location is far from the train station, and the walking path is unfriendly for trolley bag. The path to the room is uphill and in the private area which need to keep quiet. The neighbors on the upper floor (I assume) smoked in front of our room. We smelled the cigaratte every time we opened the door to go out. The coin-operated washer and dryer are hard to use and no English manual. The futon for guest was not washed, and lastly the shop in the area closed pretty quick, in cluding the restaurant.

A quiet and serene place that we totally liked. it was a private bathroom, which we were really looking forward to. the room was neat and pleasant to stay at!

easy access on the door, comfy bed.

no hot water on our night stay, smelly toilet.
