MEIBI Hakone Yumoto

The look like Japanese style with western comfort

Lifting the luggage to 3rd floor

The finishes and decor in the property gave it a really cosy feel, and the futons were comfy. The kitchenette was stocked with everything we needed. The property is located right on the river, and there is a footpath you can follow into town that makes for an easy and enjoyable walk. There is also a 7-11 a few streets away. We found a great little Izakaya, called Daichan, run by a lovely older lady, in a neighbouring street. It was nice to be away from the tourist strip. The host was really responsive and told us about the Go app to book a taxi when we were checking out.

We found the layout a little bit tricky for our family. The sleeping areas were on the ground floor and on the second floor/loft, which were separated by the living, kitchen, and bathroom on the first floor. The steps leading to the upper levels were also quite steep. The ground floor tatami room was big enough for three of us to sleep together, with one person sleeping in the loft. The toilet off the kitchen smelled, and we couldn't use the air conditioner in the living room as it was leaking quite badly. We also didn’t expect to have to pay extra to use the clothes washer/dryer. I can't recall this being mentioned in the listing.

The location was quiet with the beautiful river running behind the guest house. It was a short walk from the 7-11 and about a 10-15 minute walk from the train station. The house was clean and equipped with everything needed, including a washing machine. If only we could stay longer to enjoy more sightseeing!

Stairs were a little steep so wouldn’t recommend for young kids or elderly folks or those with mobility issues but was not a problem for us.

Spacious, great amenities and clear commutation for check in.
