Guest House Tsuu Odawara ゲストハウスTSUU小田原 #OD1

Good location and facilities.

The other guests were a bit loud and left the shared toilet not so clean. The self check-in was a bit complicated.

The staff that clean the place is very friendly & helpful. The place is very cosy & relaxing. We enjoyed the space, homely feeling and comfort. Good laundry area. Near to the beach & amenities. The soba shop that is just opposite is highly recommended too.

There isn't an elevator, so we have to carry the luggage by stairs to the 2nd floor. It is a bit far from the train station & shopping area but it is still walking distance.

A great stay had everything you wanted as a traveller, an equipped kitchen. They even had a DJ controller for enjoying!

Stairs are a bit long, but it's a one-off issue when you have to carry luggage. Bidet although mentioned while booking was absent.

Quiet, comfortable and well worth it

The place was cozy, well equipped and there was even a loving room with guitars and amps! Also, the host was so kind to us.

Excellent value & Excellent facilities! During a time when hotels in Japan are getting more expensive by the day, Guesthouse Tsuu stands out as an excellent value and budget-friendly accommodation. In Odawara, budget-friendly stays are very scant and most are capsule-hotel facilities. Guesthouse Tsuu has independent rooms with nice, comfy beds and facilities like washing machine (no dryer, but balcony available for drying clothes), a well-stocked kitchen with microwave, toaster, etc. A nice common area to lounge. Excellent WiFi. And, a separate (shared) restroom and bathroom. While the walk may take you 10 minutes from JR Odawara station's East exit, it's only a 4-min taxi ride (highly recommended if you're coming with luggage).

Personally, I don't mind it, but the accommodation is on the 3rd floor and one needs to climb a long flight of stairs. So, it's not super access-friendly for seniors and people with mobility needs. Also, the house is made of wood (which, to be fair, most houses in Japan are). So, while everybody is very quiet, one may hear the sound of closing doors or people opening the bathroom door, etc., at night. So, bring ear plugs.

Clean room

Staircase to 2nd floor Carrying heavy luggage was an issue

Perfect location, bus stops for Hakone and Odawara station are in front of the house. A small cozy guest house for a very good price.
