Scenic 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."

"Fantastic location with incredibly high value for money. It's a 5-minute walk from the Ofuna station, and you can even see the Shonan Monorail from the window. There are plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby, including an excellent dessert shop right across the street. Plus, there's a large 24-hour supermarket just a 10-minute walk away."

"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."

"Overall, it was pretty good. Pros: 1. Just a 5-minute walk from the station, which is very convenient. 2. The price is quite reasonable for this area. 3. The staff's service attitude was excellent. Cons: 1. The room was a bit small. 2. Smoking is allowed in the rooms here, so there was a smell of smoke as soon as I entered. 3. Mineral water is not provided in the room. 4. Check-in time is 3:00 PM, which is a bit later compared to other hotels, but you can store your luggage."

"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."

"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."

"This was my first time traveling abroad, my first time traveling alone, and my first time flying alone. The hotel receptionist, Umiya, was Japanese, and we communicated in English just like good friends. In the evenings, the common area was filled with people from all over the world – Filipinos even gave me snacks, and there were Koreans, French, and Argentinians. It felt like a crossroads, forming a big, temporary family. It's also incredibly close to Kamakura Beach, just a short walk away. This is the best hostel I've ever stayed at."

"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."

"Very central location and spacious apartment with good equipment."
