Find 4-Star Hotels in Kamakura

"There aren't many hotels near Kamakura Station suitable for three people, so after some deliberation, I booked the Metropolitan. The value for money was a bit low, with a very tiny room costing over 1800 yen per night, but I have to say, the location is super convenient. It's just two turns after exiting the JR station. The Muji Diner on the first floor is a huge plus; I ate there twice in two days. Right next to the hotel is a Family Mart convenience store, and across the street, there's a supermarket, a drugstore, and several restaurants – basically everything you could need. The Komachi Street shopping area to the right of the JR station is easily worth three hours of browsing. One place to avoid is a BBQ restaurant on the second floor, to the right across the street; it was the worst meat I've ever had in Japan, so tough it was impossible to chew."

"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."

"It is located in small road and by 4pm you cannot drive on that road so best to check in 3pm. The hotel has parking lots chargeable 1,900 yen per entry till next day 1pm. I didnt use the car once parked and mostly walk around komachi street it is like 8 mins walk. So i am unsure if it allows multiple entries of the car park. Check in smooth, 3pm dropped off bags in room. Went exploring. It has coffee machine to use and public onsen. Similar to onyado but this does not have the ice creams or ramen. But as after heavy walking day, dipping in hot pool and relax is awesome. I stayed in double bunk bed and space was huge. Had a bath tub in shower and separate toilet bowl to allow diff ppl using for diff purpose for getting ready. That day early june typhoon was incoming so it was a rainy day. Was able to borrow an umbrella as car parking lot is about 5 mins walk. Also coffee machine is free to use, grab a coffee before leaving dor the day exploring Kamakura. Overall, really nice place to stay and near the station for those not driving."

"The hotel's exterior and the breakfast area on the first floor are absolutely stunning. The staff provided excellent service, and the breakfast was incredibly exquisite and delicious. The location is also superb, less than a 5-minute walk from the station. The only minor downside is that the room was a bit dim, but the room design was quite beautiful, with a very artistic aesthetic."

"原本訂了一家老牌酒店，後來看到這家位置更好，就決定更換。非常慶幸自己這個選擇，真的非常滿意！ 首選位置極佳，江之電腰越站下來三分鐘就到了。對面就是腰越海岸。往前一站是鎌倉高校，往後一站江之島，都可以步行可達。早上吃好飯去海邊跑步的感覺，太爽了。 房間又新又大又整潔，設備也是現代簡約風格，不是普遍日本酒店的那種。淋浴房好高級，洗浴用品齊全。 細節非常精緻，綠茶、紅茶、咖啡品質都很不錯，房間飲用水充足（兩瓶常温兩瓶在冰箱），毛巾非常柔軟，床也超級舒服，餐廳的早餐是套餐式的，很好吃。晚餐吃過他們的蕎麥麪，價格也不貴。 還有房頂的露台，天氣好時眺望遠方心曠神怡。 總之如果要在鎌倉逗留一晚的話，非常推薦住這裏。就是有一丟小貴，希望下次再來的時候別漲價哈哈哈～"

"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 staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly. The room was spotless, and I was extremely satisfied! The breakfast truly lived up to its reputation; it was absolutely delicious and made for a wonderfully elegant experience. I would absolutely love to return!"
