I.didnt expect a double bed! All of the beds were double beds which was great and you had you own little cubby hole to sleep in. The bed and pillows were extremely comfy and the facilities were very clean. I can't imagine staying there in the summer though with no Aircon.. the room was just bearable in November and it was 24°C

The rooms need more ventilation and aircon

So, I think I need to start off by saying I stay in hostels and review them on Youtube (Hazelshostels) So my review is more about how about it compared to all the other hostels in tokyo. I actually came all the way to Azito just to stay in this hostel because of how CUTE it looked, I wanted some fun places for people to stay that are easy to get to from tokyo.. and this one was PERFECT! The staff, the facilities, the vibe.. it was everything I thought it would be and more! It is also a social place, for locals even.. so I think anyone that wants a fun but more calming stay would love this! The beds are SUPER COMFY and how they are set up... are pretty magical and cozy.

I'd say there was a little bit of a tight squeeze when it comes to shared spaces but that can't really be helped in a guesthouse hostel.. and sometimes that helps you get closer to people and creates a special relationship. I also just want to note, this isn't a negative however it is a walk up hill from the station.

I got the best hotel/hostel sleep of my life here. The beds are big and comfortable and so is the capsule space. We were allowed to store our bags in the large lockers before check-in and the staff was so helpful. We decided to eat on property and their food was amazing (even now my siblings are talking about it). There are buses to the property from the train station, and if you need to walk TO the station it's mostly downhill. I wish we could've stayed for more than 1 night. Please know that there are many stairs at this property, and no elevator. Though, we didn't find them too bad at all.

Traditional tatami room with futon. The room was big enough for two of us. As expected, all three guesthouses we stayed at in Japan, including this place, were nice and clean. A steep hill to get there, which they warned us, gave us a quick cardio workout. We stayed at the private room part of the house and it was very quiet. There was a staff when we arrived in the morning, at night and the next morning. We appreciated the personal touch.

Nothing really. Hakone is a touristy place and a higher price, compared to what we paid for in other cities, was understandable.

The location was great, close to the train, restaurants and shops. The common areas and the shared bathrooms were nice, clean and new. We also liked the vibe and how quiet it was, perfect to rest. Mattress was very comfortable even though it was small. Also there was a kitchen if you wanted to cook or chill there.

The size of the room was only a mattress on the floor, we couldn't stand up inside the room. But the mattress was comfortable. The space for the suitcases was a bit uncomfortable because sometimes everybody was there and you couldn't open your suitcase. Also we were on a first floor but some rooms are on the second floor and there's no elevator.

This was a very interesting place to stay and represents good value for money. It is similar to a capsule hotel, although the room is bigger than that; it comprises a kind of cupboard with a sliding door and is about 4' - 4' 6" high. There is more to it than just the mattress with enough space to store luggage in the room, although they also provide lockers in the corridor outside as an alternative. Obviously there is no en-suite bathroom, but a good ratio of communal facilities to the number of rooms, so there was never any queue to use the bathrooms or showers. Also, bear in mind that there are no windows, so the room is always dark until you switch on the light. There is however an electric socket, so it is easy to charge or plug-in any electrical appliance and also there was a communal fridge in the corridor for storing food and keeping drinks cool. There is also a communal kitchen although that seemed quite small for the number of guests staying at the hostel. They very helpfully gave me details in advance of the bus to catch from the railway station, although that bus only ran once an hour so if, like me, you just miss it, then it is about a 10-15 minute uphill walk. The tourist information centre outside the station gave me very good directions on how to get here.

The kitchen did not open until 8 a.m. Japan struck me as a an early-to-bed early-rise culture and so it was frustrating to have to wiat until 8 o'clock to get my coffee.

Exceptionally kind, polite and helpful staff who would go to the moon and back to help you and patiently answer all your queries. Convenient location near the station and the high street, comfortable, warm, and clean dorm/room. Fully equipped kitchen and the star attraction is the heater at the reception which should be declared a tourist attraction esp. during the cold winter. PS: On my way back at the Hakone Yumoto station, I was interviewed by a Japanese TV channel. They asked me about my trip to Japan and the experience in Hakone, I have given a shout out to your lovely staff and hostel. Now, if you become world famous, then I am coming back to collect my royalties. :p :)

Liked the separation between lounge and common space with the capsules. Space and privacy were great. Lockers were perfect. However my highlight would be the staff—they were amazing, Shiho was helpful and informative the moment I checked in. She encouraged me to take advantage of the beautiful say since the next two were overcast and raining. The morning staff member on Feb 16 (so sorry I forgot her name!) carried the conversation well and provided info re baggage service at the station to museum and cafe recos!

You get what you pay for at GuestHouse Azito. The staff were accommodating, helpful and friendly, however the rooms were very basic. Room size was fantastic and the location was great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for space

We stayed in winter, and the heater in the room struggled. The bed sheets were a little gross (few stains here and there), but we didn't let this phase us as the rest of the room was clean. We walked from the train station, which is an easy walk, however with baggage the hill can be a challenge.

This property is in a great location (there is a steep slope right before you get there but it’s survivable). The sleeping cubicle has a double mattress and it was the most comfortable sleep I’ve had since I arrived in Japan a month ago. The bedroom area was nice and air conditioned during summer and there was a little fan to let air inside your cubicle. I liked that you were given a huge locker separated from the bedroom and they let me store my luggage in it before check in time.

The property itself is a little bit rough around the edges. But it felt safe, comfortable and clean enough, I would definitely recommend it for an affordable stay in Hakone close to the main part of town.
