Truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we got there we were given nothing but the highest level of service. All of the staff were very attendant, welcoming, and very apt in speaking English (though we did our best to speak in Japanese). We had the same hostess taking care of us through check-in, all of our meals, check-out, and even guiding us to our next destination; the dedication and personalization of such an experience was truly heartfelt and I wish we could thank her again. Speaking of the meals, they were also top-of-the-line full course experiences that gave you no room for wanting more: both delicious and filling. To top it off, the room we stayed in was immaculate and nailed the traditional feel you would want from a ryokan, accompanied with an awe-inspiring view from our outdoor onsen. All-in-all, it was a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting Hakone.
