Great location and good service. But make sure you book spa treatment before arrival or else difficult to secure an appointment, the same with omakase dinner at the Japanese restaurant.

Everything. This is truly a 5-star hotel resort. The room was spotless, beautiful, organized, and cozy. The hotel offered excellent amenities through their lounges and in the rooms. The baths were so inviting!

Overall, the hotel did not meet 5 star standards.
The nicest part of the hotel was the private onsen on our balcony and the view. The rooms were dated and a bit unkept.
The hotel staff were cold (bordering rude) and incredibly unhelpful when it came to helping us find places for dinner nearby.
If I can sum it up in one word…. ‘Wow!’ This hotel was amazing. I booked a Japanese style room on the upper floor of the west wing with a private onsen. The room was spacious, clean and really comfortable beds. Sitting in the onsen and having a ‘cold drink’ with the views was amazing. The hotel staff was excellent on check- in and check-out. Dinner and breakfast service was also excellent.
Private onsen was amazing, the location walking distance from train station and cable car y very convenient, and the complimentary shuttle service to Odawara made a whole difference. All the little details in the room and the food was amazing, we would love to go back!
The property is new and tastefully done in every way. Breakfast and dinner both wonderful. The in-room Onsen was great. The outdoor onsens are clean, large and wonderful.
Property was extremely clean atmosphere was amazing exactly what we needed to relax paired with the amazing food the only regret we had was not to stay longer.
If you want to treat yourself and stay in one of the best properties and locations in Gora (Hakone), book some time at KARAKU. The rooms, private and guest onsen, amenities, dining, staff, and overall experience was a highlight of our trip. This is a truly special ryokan, and caters perfectly to visitors from all over the globe.
Great area! Right next to the train station so easy to get to public transportation. Staff were extremely courteous and attended to my needs. Would come back here again
The Orix hotel is farther away from the main Hakone shopping area, however it's walking distance to/from the Gora station so it's easy to get to. The property is perfect for quiet get away and to enjoy a private onsen. Absolutely love the experience and staffs are all very friendly, helpful and polite.

This is a top level property! Luxury from check in process to check out. The restaurant and the lounge areas offerings are stellar.
The kaiseki was incredible. Staff was extremely professional, helpful and nice. The property itself is beautiful, and the onsen itself was clean, modern, and had an amazing view.
This hotel was a highlight for us. Our family loved the hot springs tubs, the japanese style clothing they provide for us to wear, and the traditional kaiseki dinner. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was very lovely (so kind and helpful). Would highly recommend. Lots of stuff to do nearby including hiking, skywalk, cable car, and lake cruise. This was a beautiful stop for us between Tokyo and Kyoto.
Absolutely beautiful property with excellent service and well-trained staff. Fully recommend booking a room with a private onsen for a luxurious experience.
We loved the hospitality of the entire staff, the food, the comfort of being in the hotel with all the amenities, the private onsen was wonderful, we will definitely return on our next vacation, we miss it already!!! It is the best hotel!!!
Hakone is a unique stay in that you have your private onsen. The modern facilities coupled with the exceptional dinner and breakfast would be the reason I’d return again and again. Thank you!
