Kamakura Beach Hotels

"The main reason to book this hotel is the magnificent view from the room. It is genuinely breathtaking, and waking up to such a view is an absolute pleasure. Unfortunately, that is where the positive aspects of my short stay at Kamakura Prince Hotel come to an end. The problems began the moment we checked in. We arrived a little after 5 p.m., only to discover that the swimming pool—the second reason I had booked this hotel in the first place—would be closing at 6 p.m. Unsurprisingly, we had no chance to use it that day. The next issue we encountered was the complete lack of even a basic command of English among the front desk staff. And yes, I am perfectly understanding when people do not speak English. However, there is one important exception: hotel employees whose job is to interact directly with international guests. Once we got to our room, it was clear that it had seen better days. The furnishings are beginning to show their age, although the room itself remains perfectly pleasant. And, of course, it is impossible to overlook the spectacular view of the ocean waves. The following morning, we decided to make another attempt at using the swimming pool. However, the staff tried to explain that we needed some sort of tickets to enter the pool—even though access was included in the room rate. This was the first time anyone had mentioned these tickets to us. After about five minutes of confusion, we were eventually allowed in, only to discover that the pool was freezing cold. Unsurprisingly, after swimming a couple of laps, we got out. As a final touch, the hotel also gently reminded guests that slippers were not to be worn around the property and that tattoos should remain covered at all times. While I understand and respect that these are the hotel’s policies, they certainly added to the rather rigid atmosphere of the stay. During check-out, the front desk staff did not ask how our stay had been. Instead, the entire farewell consisted of the remarkably concise: “No extra pay, goodbye.” A little on the dry side."

"This was the most pleasant stay in Kamakura we had! Glad to have an opportunity to write a review. I went to Japan in beginning of November with my younger brother, the weather was warm. We were intended to stay in Kamakura for 2 days (1 day in beginning and 1 day in the end of our trip). A hotel near both to Enoshima and Kotoku-in. The service was incredible. The room was neat and tidy with AC, TV, balcony and matcha tea set, also we could see a sea from the balcony. Hotel has spacious bathroom with mini onsen. The hostess of the hotel was very polite to us. One time we were late to check in, so we called from reception, and she began to apologize politely and walked down from the top floor to give us the keys to our room. We felt a bit awkward) Then she gave us 2 towels for free, when they cost 200 yen, it was nice bonus. Btw every time we checked out, a hostess was giving to us postcards =) We had lots of positive emotions. So, I highly recommend this place to stay in Kamakura."

"The staff were very friendly, and as soon as I arrived at the front desk, I knew I'd made a good choice. They had the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper, and breakfast included dessert, making it feel more like dinner. The Kamakura vegetable salad was beautiful and delicious, and the freshly baked bread was so good I had seconds. However, it's a bit far from the station, so I took a taxi; I wish the hotel offered a pick-up service."

"The accommodation is located by the sea, beautiful view, clean bathroom, walking around should be very good. There is underground parking. You should check the weather forecast."

"A great place to rest on the ocean shore. Next to the apartment there is an exit to the beach at once. Very comfortable and large on the area. Everything is clean, comfortable. For me it was a huge plus a big bathroom! From stopping the train minutes 7-10 on foot. There is lawson nearby. The hosts are very friendly and are ready to help at once. Registration is very simple. We enjoyed resting in this place"

"I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and 3 days, and I really enjoyed the comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. I was surprised that the owner spoke Korean so well, and it was great to be able to converse with them. They kindly recommended restaurants near the hotel, and you can even drink and hang out with them at night. It seems they really love Korean music! If I ever come to Kamakura again, I'd love to stay here."

"Japanese style one house, the experience is very good, with friends, adults and children a total of 7 people, space is abundant, tatami is also very comfortable, board games are also provided, the living room and the open kitchen are very like, very suitable for friends, the landlord is good, rainy days There is a free umbrella, The typhoon warning also informed us in time. Although Tiangong did not do beauty, he could not appreciate the beauty of Kamakura, but the accommodation made up for the shortcomings."

"This Japanese-style hotel offered spacious rooms. However, we encountered some issues: a spider found its way into our room, and even worse, my friend caught a very large cockroach in their closet. This made me quite uneasy sleeping on the tatami, as I couldn't help but worry about bugs crawling on me. On the positive side, the location is excellent; it's just a 5-minute walk to Enoden Yuigahama Station, and Yuigahama Beach is a mere 400 meters away, making it incredibly convenient for getting around."

"It's really close to the station and there's a convenience store nearby. But the bathroom space is really a bit too small, and there are no shelves to store things, which is not very convenient. In addition, the hair dryer is also broken and cannot blow hot air out😥"
