The vintage room was small, the bed a bit rough, and the sound from the other rooms was quite loud. I didn't sleep well here, but I also loved the hosts and would return simply for them!

The staff and folks at the Cafe were an absolute delight. The food they made and the company they kept were freaking wonderful.

It’s good homely run property

Lack of communal seating inside, but we understand since there's no room for any more.

Loved the ambience, feels very homely and cosy. Location is perfect, so close to the station.

No eating area - No toilet in the bathroom

Beds are very comfortable - Individual heating system is very effective - Fully-equipped kitchen - 5 min walk to the train station

Walls were very thin, and the people next door were very loud. I think it's overpriced considering the communal facilities, and the fairly basic standard of the accommodation.

Spacious room, nicely decorated

The house was a bit cold but not all the rooms were occupied so I can understand that there was no need to heat up the whole house. We had a heater in our room :)

The room was a very good size, directions were also very clear, everything was within walking distance

Only single shower/bath for all the rooms in the facility

a little bit of hassle to go up second floor with luggage

the cosy vibes of the place

Rather difficult to find

Nearby to Odawara station with convenient and good F&B outlets at the station and nearby

Super close to the station yet hidden inside a quiet residence area. A "feel like home" experience with nice host and friendly staff. The "Made by Tipy" travel guide was very helpful. The only minus point was that there's only one bathroom in the first floor.

The Economy Triple is located at the 2nd floor with a steep stairway, which may not be convenient for elderlies or children.

The location was convenient and the owners had retro taste, which was different from the usual hotel accommodations.

The location is nice, just 5-10 minutes' walk from the Odawara train station. The room is clean and nice, the toilets and bathroom are shared but they are all kept very clean. Also, you can left your luggage in the common spaces after check-out, which is very helpful.

We loved staying here! The vibe of the area was inviting and the owners of the property were FANTASTIC. We loved sitting in the main building, having a soda, and talking with the owner about his life and family.

Maybe just me, but I was a little confused upon check in. I didn't realize that each room had a "name" and that it was listed somewhere in my reservation. So I tried every lock box until I found my room. Kind of like an escape room, made for a good story though.

Didn't realize it was a house, similar to an air bnb which was a nice surprise. I loved the atmosphere of it, and was up early every morning to get my shower out of the way and not compete with other guests. There's a kitchen and laundry facilities to use if needed. Very convient to the train station and not hear the rails. Also located right behind a popular street of restaurants and bars, without getting the noise. Natural and Retro rooms are downstairs. Vintage and Tatami rooms are upstairs.

No one to talk with. Didn’t see the owner, lots of contrasts with the warm full place.

Lots of effort in the decorations. And that’s beautiful. Look really charming.

This is a small house and has no support service like in a hotel. There are four rooms in the house (2 on the grd floor and two on the upper floor) and the bathrooms and toilets are shared. The kitchen is well equipped though. While we are aware of this, we were rather disappointed with the quality of the room. We had the "Tatami" room with Futon Beds on the upper floor accessible via a very steep and narrow staircase which would be quite risky for elderly people. Not sure whether it was meant a a novelty for first timer using a futon bed in a tatami room, but upon arrival (and tired) we still had to "assemble" the futon bed from a graphic instruction given on the wall. Had to take out the base mattress, cover and sheets from the wardrobe and took us sometime to figure out why there is a big oval hole in the cover for the futon (google it to find out). The futon spread and cover were quite worn and thin already. There are no chairs or writing table in the room, and our "beds" are on the floor so we ended up "crawling" (literally) for most of our movement within the room with our tired legs after a long day. This hotel is not meant for guests who want some privacy, comfort and facilities of a proper hotel but it is an alternative if you wish to stay near Odawara Station. The host is however friendly and welcomed us.

The only strong feature is its location very near to the Odawara Station, which is a Shinkansen stop when from Tokyo and to Osaka. It is also the launch point to Hakone. You can start the Hakone Day Pass at this point.

The walls were a little thin l, but it’s not at all a deal breaker.

Everything! Super clean, super cosy, and very comfortable. Me and my friend loved the bathroom and kitchen, especially the beautiful cups and teapots that are free to use by guests. We were also invited to eat a watermelon upon arrival, and who can say no to a tasty, local grown watermelon? Fantastic!

This was our second time staying at Tipy. The staff and facilities are perfect. We will stay again soon :-)
