Excelente location: 5 min walk to the beach and 10 to a convenience store. Nearest train station: Hase. Near to Big Buda Statue (Kotoku-in), around 8 min. Individual room, comfortable, cozy and clean. Screen check-in.

OK. I’m going to start with the tough part: I can’t understand how the door locks on the room can be allowed. They are not at all safe. The door can be locked FROM THE OUTSIDE by someone else, and the people inside can be locked into their room!! Massive fire hazard. The mgmt really do need to look into a different system. Secondly, the door “lock” from the inside is insuffient: it is like a very small/wimpy latch that could easily be rendered useless by an intruder. As two women travelling (mother/daughter) I was very aware that the others staying at the guest house were all men. No staff onsite.

With these two items rectified it would render a higher rating from me. The room was quirky, but clean. Has toilets down the hall, and a bath/shower room on the main floor. Help yourself to free ear plugs at the door, as the walls are not soundproofed and you will hear it all! Checking in and getting the key through an iPad felt like a geocaching experience. The neighbourhood is quiet but lovely, literally a handful of steps from the Enoden train line’s Hase station and a short walk to the beach. Some lovely restaurants here but rarely open and some nights we had a tough time finding anything open.

The room was great. Very comfortable bed, efficient shower with very hot water. However getting into room was less then optimal. Communication would be better in email. Need to know mist walk between buildings to access hotel If coming by taxi.

The room was very comfortable, the place is clean and the attention to detail is great. The staff, though remote was very helpful. It is extremely well located, a stone throw away from the train. 5-10 minutes walk from good restaurants, hiking trails and temples. I highly recommend if you want an authentic feeling, cozy space.

First the good parts; the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating when I missed my train and showed up late for check-in. The bed was super comfy and the room was really nice.

However, the room I was in had a gap in the wall that lead directly to one of the bathrooms/toilets which frankly is disgusting. I got woken up by people using the bathroom and it felt unsanitary being right next to the bed. The stairs were also incredibly steep to get to the rooms and there was no handrail.

Shared bathroom and shower, but there are only 3 rooms. It was nice, quiet and clean. We didnt really spend time there just to sleep. AND it was about a 5 -10min walk to the beach.

A hostel with hotel prices. Sharing washrooms and tiny shower down one floor. Steep narrow stairs, nothing for older folks. Poor soundproofing from street below and room next door.
Location was good next to train station and some sightseeing.
Kamakura is a lovely place, but this accommodation was a rip off.

部屋は写真では素敵に見えましたが、そこに着いて周りを見回すと、すべての素敵な木がすべてに貼られたビニールステッカーであることに気付くでしょう。

部屋はトイレのすぐ隣にあり、そこに置かれた壁はかなり貧弱で、トイレにまっすぐ通る隙間がありました。あなたは何でも見ることができます、または少なくとも私はそうしようとしませんでした。しかし、トイレで起こったすべてのことが聞こえました。

部屋のドアは内側からロックされず、部屋の外側から少しの努力で誰かが簡単にドアを通り抜けることができます。実際のロック機構は、あなたが部屋にいる間、他の誰かが簡単に行うことができ、外に出るために財産に損害を与えなければならない可能性があります。

全体的に場所は便利でした。私が抱えていた唯一の本当の問題は、他のゲストからその場所で起こったすべてのことを聞くことでした。

Friendly staff made my stay so comfortable. Felt like going back home or visiting my grandma. This nostalgia old Japanese house located less than one minute away from Hase station. Lots of attractive, unique shops, restaurants, cafes nearby. Beach is short walk, and many historical places to visit.

La propiedad está bien por el precio.

Aspectos positivos: Hacer el Check-In es sencillo, es muy cercano a la estación del tren cercana al templo principal (pero esto no significa que haya ruido exterior), el personal provee más de lo necesario para tener una estancia agradable.

Aspectos negativos:
1) Si bien las habitaciones cuentan con un pasador con llave, me parece que es solo cuestión que un huésped realmente quiera entrar a otra habitación para poder hacerlo. Los cerrojos no parecen muy seguros y dejar pertenencias en la habitación o incluso estar solo dentro de la habitación puede dejar cierta inquietud. Recomendaría no dejar artículos de valor al salir.

Nos encantó la cama, sin duda la más cómoda del viaje, solo que pierde el encanto por el tema de compartir baño además de ser súper estrecho los pasillos y la regadera esta abajo así que es súper incómodo el tener justamente enfrente de donde te bañas la entrada principal, que hay 3 habitaciones que puede que entren en ese momento, es poco práctico e incómodo. El personal de limpieza es increíble es un francés que nos hizo muy ameno nuestra llegada

Fue muy rápido una vez que ya habíamos hecho el precheck inn pero no fue lo que esperábamos.

Se tuvo problemas con el iPad de la entrada, pero corrimos con suerte de que estaba un personal si no, no sé si hubiéramos podido
