barhotel Hakone Kazan

The views are amazing no matter where you are at on the property. We loved that it was private and secluded that was the complete opposite from the hustle of the city. It made for such a relaxing stay. If you’re contemplating the cost don’t. The service, drinks, amenities, and property will hands down make it worth it.

There isn’t anything we didn’t like. But with the seclusion of the area be prepared that it’s not in a very walkable. It can be done but is not ideal. So setting up morning shuttles or arranging a cab was very necessary.

Truly extraordinary. The views are beautiful, all people there are unbelievably lovely, the rooms are extremely comfortable... I want to come back to Hakone on my next trip solely to be able to stay here!!

The concept, f&b, and onsen. Such a peaceful place. We very much enjoyed

Maybe sometimes they are a little too strict with their concept and some staff could smile a little bit more

Stunning location and gorgeous decor. Very cool room with amazing mountain and tree views. Loved the mid century modern styling. Free drinks and champagne on arrival were a real perk, and more or less justify the (very high) price of the room. Both public onsen were really nice, especially the larger one. Staff made a real effort to look after us apart from the shuttle mix up. Breakfast was generous and delicious. We had a gorgeously relaxing stay for just one night but wished it could have been longer.

The shuttle bus failed to pick us up from the station despite us giving an arrival time. The hotel asked us to confirm when we arrived too, but there was no signal from the closest station, so we had a scary and very wet walk up the pavement-less hill to the hotel in the dark.

Incredibly friendly staff, great drinks (incl in price), fantastic food (to some extent Western style), beautiful onsen.

The most luxurious place we have ever stayed in, incredible views, amazing service and the most tranquil private onsen

It would have been nice if the bar stayed open for longer during the day

What a fabulous relaxing time in a wonderful location. Staff were absolutely amazing! The food and drinks were 美味しい . The hot bath facilities and the private facilities were outstanding. The room was luxurious. I had a wonderful stay.

The rooms, the bar, the onsen, the staff, everything just exceeded our expectations. We found a gem and we will never forget it. The staff was incredible and the attention to details was amazing. The barhotel concept is unique and their bar staff was just out of this world. Thank you again

The view.

The door man is terrible. It was raining and he forced us to the taxi in the rain.

They champagne suit doesn’t even come with champagne, it only have empty champagne display, not even a real one to serve the guest, and I paid a premium price for the room. I felt cheated, lied from booking website .

Bar was great, good selection of drinks included and onsen was good.

For the steep price you pay it’s a weird set up. There is no housekeeping at this “hotel” there is really only a bar, so if you stay for more than one night which we did your bed is not made, rubbish not collected etc. There is very limited food provided in the room for the price and limited options to purchase at the bar. Brunch was limited to some weird savory finger food, soup and one main dish which was weird there was no fruit or anything sweet or breakfasty available . If you are going to provide this much alcohol then they really should provide more food options. The property is in a lovely position but it’s not easy to get to, and there’s nothing much around.

Amazing place. Did not realise it was a full open bar complimentary upon booking. Cocktail list was 6 pages long. Whiskey list was about 12 pages long. Incredible selection with lots of staff so you almost have your own personal bartender. Cosy and beautiful room and location.

Smaller second spa (rotates morning and night between men only and women only for both spas), but still good.

A lovely stay to finish off our honeymoon. The staff is incredibly accommodating and welcoming. All the drinks are included with your stay as well as a champagne brunch. The rooms are spacious and so clean we throughly enjoyed renting out the private open air spa. Would recommend to anyone! Relaxing and stunning

A bit dark although that does seem to be the vibe and a little hard to get to/not many food options.

The love the bar and the feeling of intimacy within the entire place. The view is amazing and the staff are very kind and helpful, also the bartenders are great in terms of quality, knowledge and empathy.

Although we knew the concept of the hotel is a bar, due to the location of the hotel where is not very easy to get out to buy food/find a restaurant, and the fact of drinking alcohol that is not good for driving, the options for food at the menu could increase or the services for food.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I want to do this for the hotel because my experience was so amazing- The service: exceptional. From checking in to arranging plans, they can help with everything you need- Facility: So new and fresh, you'll love it- Vibe: The bar concept was executed really well, and it remained classy.

Absolutely stunning in every way. You’ll feel like you’ve been transported to heaven. The staff is incredible and so helpful. The rooms are large, comfortable and very clean. You must book both private baths, they are both incredibly beautiful. As well as the communal woman’s bath. The drinks were also beautiful. I don’t have enough words to describe the lovely experience of staying here. If you have the privilege of staying here you are very lucky!

There was nothing I didn’t like. Loved everything.

Pictures simply cannot do this place justice. It is incredibly beautiful, every corner of the hotel was well curated and designed. The service was absolutely incredible. We had a couple of things we needed assistance with and Reiko and Yuna were always available to help our group. Everyone was just so kind! There are literally hundreds of cocktails to try and everything we had was great. This was honestly the most magical hotel I’ve ever stayed in, just unreal attention to detail and service. Thank you so much, barhotel!

Everything was perfect.

Small property for few guests

No coffee at the permanent snack station

Best place for a couple, especially if you like to drink!

Beautiful property with thoughtful, inspired design. Amazing drinks and great brunch.
