Centurion Hakone Bettei Hotel

The room was way bigger than I thought and having my own private Onsen was just dreamy. Breakfast was a delicious start with the fish being a standout. I also loved unwinding in the open-air bath and the lush gardens really boosted the experience. Just a heads up that the breakfast choices might be a bit tricky for some tastes, so be prepared for a culinary adventure 😄

The atmosphere created was special. There were exceptionally comfortable beds and a private safe, climate control, and an iron inside the room.

The rooms where reasonably spacious and exceptional with a mountain view kept by the excellent stuff. The location offered was stunning near to the train station, the museum nearby and taxi/driving.

The open-air bath experience was tranquil.

Getting to the hotel was annoyingly inconvenient, as the location is quite isolated from the main attractions. The lack of dining options for those unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine felt limiting, especially when many dishes were unappealing and difficult to consume repeatedly. The shuttle service was also lacking in availability.

location short walk to sightseeing places and taxi/driving and the museum. thanks to the polite staff everything was excellent, including lots ofdelicious food. a special atmosphere around the place. exceptional and cool room, with central heating, a private safe and a flat-screen tv.

The food is GREAT and excellent. The location is beautiful and nice, 3 miles from Hakone Glass Nomori Museum.

The onsen was nice, but the bathwater? A tad cooler than expected. The pillow choice was beyond bizarre, rice pillows? Not comfortable! It's shocking I didn't get a room upgrade as a distinguished guest, woudl ve been the least they could do. Almost wrote a good review, but couldn't let it slide here.

The open-air bath was very nice, but the walk to the station was confusing.

The Japanese-Style Executive Room with Open-Air Bath was spacious and provided an very nice experience. The private onsen was a blissful retreat, great to soak and unwind after a day of exploring. The meals were really good, especially the sukiyaki dinner, served with attentive service.

The Japanese-style room with an open-air bath provided an very nice experience, great to unwind while enjoying the beautiful surrounding nature.

The hotel's shuttle service operates only three hours a day, which may limit accessibility to nearby attractions.

All great, but meals tricky.

Fine stay in nature

Such an amazing place! The view from our room was amazing, and soaking in the open-air bath was a highlight for me. It felt super private and relaxing. The food at the restaurant was a feast-loved the sukiyaki dinner! Just wish the shuttle ran more often to make exploring easier.

exquisite dining with nature views from the private onsen

immaculate cleanliness, punctual shuttle service

smaller balcony bath

The open-air private onsen experience was lovely. Enjoying the diverse local dishes, especially the sukiyaki for dinner, was a culinary highlight that surpassed expectations. It's worth noting the shuttle service has limited hours was nice, and the main areas could feel a bit cramped during peak hours despite the overall atmosphere being peaceful.

fine views and easy access to nearby attractions

the food was amazing and the staff very attentive, and the hotel itself has a calming charm with beautiful wooden elements and views of sakura trees, making it a perfect base for walks to nearby Hakone Gora Park, just about 2.5 km away, and the Hakone Museum of Art, below 2.5 km from here.
