    Missing a space for clothes/no cabinets Not something didn't like but more of suggestion. -water bottle at the Room

    -Location was what we wanted near to places we wanted to see. -Breakfast has many options, very filling traditional Japanese which we liked -Comfortable Bed and room is good size compared to others -Onsen! -Free parking just in front of hotel -New Towels & trash clearing everyday -Polite & helpful staff. There is always someone at the reception 24 hrs. -Not busy or over crowded during our stay -free little amenities supplied for daily use

    I left my small beg and texted the hotel to deliver since I was still in Tokyo but to my regret, the hotel responded late even after I have texted them few times and cannot deliver the small beg before I departed to my hometown.

    Location is superb about 200 meters from Gotemba train station and you can see the view of mount Fuji.

    f you’re planning to visit both the Hakone and Fuji areas in 2-3 days, Gotemba is the ideal town to stay in, and Hotel Route-Inn Gotenba Eki-Minami is an excellent choice. The hotel is approximately a 40-minute drive from Lake Ashi, making it convenient for your travels (assuming you traveled the Hakone area before arriving). The next morning, you can head directly to the Mt. Fuji/Fujiyoshida area. The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. On the first floor, there are separate onsens for men and women; although they are small, they are charming, well-maintained, and open until 2 a.m. for hotel guests—a delightful bonus during our stay.

    Onsen, reception staff, location, efficient check-in, breakfast was very good, easy checkout.

    The room is a little bit small for 2 pax + 2 luggage. But compare to the price it's fair enough.

    The location is great for travellers. The breakfast is simple but very nice, especially the deep-fried food. The bath is great! The onsen water is hot and good.

    A few minor inconveniences, but overall a good place to stay. Excellent staff!

    We had a room with two beds because we thought it would be a little larger, but the beds took up so much room that there was very little space to put out two suitcases. The sink and shower faucet were one in the same. Though it worked, it could use a little updating.

    The staff is EXCELLENT. They were all kind, welcoming, courteous, and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, though a little crowded. The location is great. It is very close to the Gotemba station--easy to find and get to. It worked very well for what we were looking for. Breakfast had a good variety of choices, and staff kept all the food selections well supplied.

    You have to buy the detergent separately (when using the washing machines)

    I liked that the hotel would try to accommodate your requests. I requested for a room with a good view of Mt Fuji, away from noisy family/group rooms, on a higher floor. I got those, if not more.
