Hotel Metropolitan Kawasaki
10/10 Excellent
"Everything from check-in to checkout was amazing. The facility was great with big room sizes, comfortable bed/pillows, and nicely set-up bathroom. Cleaning services were very accommodating for guest timelines and the 12pm checkout time was very welcome. "
"Staff at the hotel were very friendly and looked after my needs during my brief stay. They were able to recommend available services, and were accommodating to any needs I had.
The room at the hotel was designed for comfort, and was clean and organized once I was ready for check in. The use of smart technology and smart devices was also convenient, as it made it easy to control the various devices in the hotel room right from my bedside. The private onsen bath was also very convenient and comfortable for myself as a solo traveler. "
"At the end of a two-week trip to Japan, Hakone Yutowa was a true highlight. We booked one of the condominium suites, which was large even by American hotel standards. The room had its own mineral hot spring bath that faced east and captured a gorgeous sunrise, as well as a spacious sitting room and comfortable beds. The hotel staff were gracious and accommodating, allowing us to leave our bags with them for a few hours after we had checked out. The meals were good, served buffet style; we ate both dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Yukata are provided for guests to wear at meals and around the hotel grounds. The public bath was also fantastic. In the men’s bath, there were two pools, one slightly cooler than the other, as well as a sauna. Although we were not traveling with children, it’s clear that they welcome families here. There are little nooks scattered throughout the property where you will find comic books, toys, places to read and relax, and complimentary snacks and beverages. All in all, it was a really relaxing place to stay. We used the Hakone Free Pass to see the sights, and we definitely recommend the Open-Air Museum, which is one of a kind and features an incredible collection of sculptures by artists from all over the world.
