Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko

Location: Minutes away from Gem museum if you are taking the red line bus. It's located right beside the kawaguchi lake. Room: Very very big room enough to lay 5 futon if require. Furniture looks dated but functional and the room is kept very clean and tidy. Needs a physical key to access the room though. Has view of Kawaguchi lake and Mount Fuji by the window. That itself is already worth the money paid for. Food: Booked the room with Dinner and breakfast included and I would recommend anyone that books the place to do so as well, very sumptuous spread and delicious too. There is onsen within the hotel too with indoor and outdoor pool. Highly recommended for anyone considering a hotel in kawaguchi.

Actually, I definitely not recommend you choose this ******** hotel. Firstly, the check in and check out time is 3pm and 10am. What a **** check out time is 10am? Most of hotel check out time is 11am. Secondly, the very ******** is the hotel only supply one towel, if you used it in the hot spring and wanna another towel the other day morning shower, you need to pay extra. This is the ******* point I am very disappointed for this hotel. The hot spring is also ****, very small quite dirty. You need to pay if you need locker. Furthermore, the room also very old and dirty. You can’t accept it. On the other hand, when I am there for check in, the reception is not native Japanese, I think he is from some place in South Asian descent. I am not discrimination, but these kind of people is relative impolite when serving me. He gave me he was impatient. Finally is the food, the taste is horrible I am never tasted in Japan. Dinner was shabushabu, breakfast is shabushabu. What a **** almost same food in different meal? I am not full after eating it. Additional information for your reference, if you what pick up shuttles, you need to wait until 3pm and need to make a phone call first. If you need shuttles when check out, you need to make reservation first. This trip I spent $225 usd for one night. It’s absolutely not worth. Hey guys, be alerted when you choosing this hotel. God bless you.

Food was incredible, onsen experience was quite good. Only problem were the hotel rooms - the mattress was quite hard and the bathroom wasn’t in great condition. However overall experience was pretty good, we didn’t spend too much time in the rooms and really need to emphasize again how great the food was.
