“Best location, sufficient.”
Best location, sufficient. Very clean, all equipment provided in the room, fridge, safety box, big screen TV despite a room is small, convenient with many power/plug-in location. Good location, a short walk to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, allowing you to be there early morning, if you prefer photo session without crowd.

“Nice hotel is great location”
Very close to the main temple area and commercial street so great location, and nice view from the roof. The rooms are very nice and large, and seemed to be quite quiet at nights as far as I could tell. The checkin is a little unusual being unstaffed and needing to fill in information ahead of time, but when it worked it was quick to get in.

The check in process was convoluted. The mattress springs could be felt when you lay down.

“Best places to stay in Kamakura”
The room is spacious and comes with a small kitchenette that we can wash the children's bottles and utensils. Very clean and comfy. The hotel actually sits on an old site that i think is more than 800 years. Also located very near the shopping street and Kaguraden Temple.

“Great place to stay in Kamakura”
We like the easy entry and nice smell of the hotel. The rooftop access is great. Staff were fantastic and friendly. The bed was tall so we were able to tuck our luggage underneath. Room was spacious and love the variety of warm lights.
