Hotels near Kencho-ji, Kamakura

I really like the location that Yuigahama is close. It's just the right size to spend alone, and the amenities are fashionable and substantial. It's nice to be able to drink coffee on the water server. Unfortunately, the bathtub and the washroom are not separate, and when I come to such a place, I still want to relax in the bath, and it is very very disappointing that the bathtub cannot be filled with hot water. I wish I had a public bath nearby. After that, towels and bed sheets were a little damp. As with us, when drying with a drum dryer, it seems to have been dry at that time, but it is not dry enough, and I think it is better to extend the drying time a little more.

It's a little far from the station, but it's close to the sea and has a lot of local feeling. The interior of the historic building can be felt particular. There is a drink bar where you can drink coffee. I became a fan completely. Thank you for your help.

The room is consistent with the picture, very warm, the bedroom has a small balcony, there is a separate living room and kitchen area, the bathtub, washing, bathroom are separated, and the space for two people is enough. Self-check-in and check-out, a few minutes walk from Jiangzhi Electric Yaoyue Station and Jiangzhidao Station. It is recommended to get off at Jiangzhi Island. There are many foods around and there are two large supermarkets. There is a temple nearby, and the tram at the entrance of the temple is very popular. If you don't receive the room door password, you can call the landlord at the door. The landlord's attitude is very nice. Recommended stay.

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 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.

We got room 202, but unfortunately, the electronic lock was broken, so we had to call the hotel numerous times to find a solution. After about 30 minutes, we finally managed to open the room. The facilities are very complete and everything works normally. There's just no wardrobe, so we stored our clothes in the spa room. The location is very strategic. Near the station, the beach, the bus stop, and the convenience store. Overall, I highly recommend it for those staying in the Enoshima area. ❤️

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!

Everything was good. The location is right next to the beach and not far from Enoshima Island. However, large towels aren't included. There's a lot of noise from the road, and you can hear the neighbors clearly. The bed creaks, too, haha. Other than that, everything else was fine. It's okay for a one-night stay.

Very cozy and nice place, I will stay again when I'm back to JP! I also recommend the Okinawa-style ramen at the restaurant downstairs, it was delicious.
