Hotel Route-Inn Gotenba Eki-Minami

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.

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.

The staff were professional and friendly. Room was spacious and well-equipped. Bed was big and comfortable! We had a great view of Mt. Fuji from our window. We enjoyed breakfast and the onsite onsen! There is a lil' standalone shop selling ramen directly opposite the hotel. It's family-run and everyone was so warm and friendly! Definitely give it a visit if you're staying here

breakfast was sufficient, across the street is a 7-11 and its just 5 minutes walk from the train and bus station. it fit our requirement for our Mt Fuji hiking the next day. would've loved to stay another day when returning to use other facilities. maybe next time

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.
