Odawara Hotels with Pools

We used it for a single night. It is a hotel near the station, but I don't hear the sound of the train and I think it is a relatively quiet environment. However, the walls of the room are thin, so I heard the sound of the voice and the door opening and closing from the corridor. The room I stayed in was room 719, and it was a room where the elevator was always heard. Thanks to the nerves, the nerves are reduced and the sleep is insufficient (-_-) The room was not so large, so the air conditioner was very good and comfortable. It is good that the bed is large and there is a reading light on the pillow. Cleanliness is perfect. Breakfast is distributed in the lobby on the first floor from around 6:30 in the morning, and you can eat it even if you bring it to your room. There are several types of lunch boxes, I think it was good to be able to choose according to my preference. In addition to lunch boxes, there were drinks, miso soup and salad.

This hotel is in a really convenient location about a three minute walk from Odawara station. A previous review said that it was in a bad area - I disagree - yes there were a couple of bars nearby but nothing in Odawara is particularly seedy and we felt completely safe, even coming back at night. Nor did we hear noise at night time. Although the rooms are small, the place was scrupulously clean and we had every facility in our room that we needed (except for wardrobe space) so we lived out of our suit case for a week. The staff were friendly and there were fresh towels and water left every day. At reception there was a range of free items such as robes, toothbrushes, wash cloths etc that you could pick up as you needed Odawara is a charming little town and a good base for exploring the area. My son was teaching there and we spent a couple of days in Tokyo, saw Mount Fuji from Hakone, visited Yokohama and Kamakura and even went on a longer trip to Sendai which by Shinkansen (changing in Tokyo) was possible for a day trip.

The host's service is very good, and there is also a cute little orange cat (but it is a free-range cat that appears randomly. I was lucky enough to see it. It is very cute and not afraid of people ~ I went to find a friend, and it turned out that my friend and the host also knew each other. What a coincidence! The host is very kind, well-equipped and clean. He prepares souvenir towels for each guest, and provides free bathrobes as pajamas (you can choose the color). There is also a lovely rooftop, which is very suitable for friends who want to experience the hotel.

Stayed 2 nights - used as a base for day trips to Hakone (Odawara is included in Hakone Freepass and it's 15 min train to Hakone-Yumoto). 5 min walk to Odawara train station. Pics on website are accurate - this is more like an AirBNB - very clean and new. Detergent provided for combo washer/dryer & there's a separate drying rack. Full size refrigerator, 3-burner stove top, grill. Front desk on-site during day only; front door locked at night. Access off-hours is thru side-door using individual code with smart lock. Room access worked same way. Be aware all instructions are in Japanese (no English translations) - we used Google translate to figure out how to operate appliances. Hot water needs to be turned on (switch panel on wall beside kitchen). Nice to have plenty of living space in Japan.

The hostel is located on the second floor of an apartment building. The room is very new and overall very comfortable and very clean with a cozy lobby. Compared to other youth hostels I stayed in, there were particularly many Western tourists carrying large hiking bags. Since the business district of Odawara City is concentrated around the station, there are few restaurants and supermarkets near the hostel, and there are no washers and dryers provided. It takes you approximately 8 minutes to walk to the laundry and the centered area of the city. But overall it is still very comfortable, and it is recommended for solo travelers! 旅館位於一棟公寓2樓，房間非常新且整體很舒適、非常乾淨，大廳很舒服。相比於我住的其他青年旅館，背著大登山包的西方旅客特別多。 由於小田原市的商圈比較集中在車站一代，旅館附近比較少餐廳和超市，也沒有附設洗烘衣機，需要走路8分鐘到洗衣店。但整體還是很舒服，推薦獨旅旅客來居住！

The hotel was right next to the Odawara JR Station, I could walk to the station from the 3/F of the hotel building conveniently ! The 3/F was the restaurant floor with over 20 choices ! Most interestingly, they were operating in an ancient Japanese complex (looking like the Edo Period). I will for sure go back to this hotel the next time I visit Odawara. However, the single room was very small, but acceptable for one person according to the Japan standard. Still, I hope that the bath room could be a little bigger. It was so small that the basin went half into the bath tub !

The hotel conditions are okay, that is, the small city of Kamamiya is relatively less crowded. To go to Hakone, you have to take a car to Odawara City and then back up.

The main disadvantages are: the hotel has no neon lights, no lobby, and it is very difficult to find the hotel. This is a fatal shortcoming. In addition, you still have to carry the suitcase up to the third floor. Others are acceptable.

-There is no breakfast, the room is cramped, there is a 12 o'clock curfew, there is a socket directly above the pillow + Closer to JR Odawara Station and Odawara Castle, there is 711 nearby
