Majatalot – Shonan

”Sehr zentral. Bahnhof, Konbini, Einkaufsstraße alles in 5 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Abzug: Das WLAN hat nicht funktioniert (im hinteren Teil des Zimmers nicht, nur an der Tür). Es ist ein Hostel mit viel Durchgangsverkehr. Extrem hellhörig.”

”Very nice place for solo travelers. You get your own room but it’s a very communal atmosphere. Met a lot of cool people and the manager was super nice!”

”Perinteinen japanilainen huone. Mahdollisuus varata privaatisti pieni kuuma vesiallas, oli hieno kokemus.”

Very much recommend. However, if your kid is an adventurous eater, make sure they do not serve them the kids meal Kaiseki. It is definitely subpar fast food level. Pre-order the adult version because you can’t change on the spot.”

”Despite the beautiful location of the hotel, the staff and facilities were unfortunately very uninviting. No amenities were given and everything had to be bought at an extra cost. Additionally the hotel bar did not have change so you had to pay with the exact amount if you wanted to get a drink. Finally, the room itself was decent, felt clean but unfortunately the futons were extremely uncomfortable (and I sleep on Japanese futon very often). Don't count out hakone from your trip but I would...

”We enjoyed our stay at the traditional guest house. The amenities could do with an update (shower) as well as proper towels - not tiny microfibre towels. ”
