    Shared bathroom but not much people staying so we almost always had the bathroom and toilets to ourselves. Not much to complain about at such a cheap price.

    The lady staff was so helpful. Despite not knowing much english we were still able to communicate well. The traditional tatami room was small but big enough for a couple. The lady also gave us post cards when we checked out.

    Overall, the hotel is pretty good. It is hearty and we feel quite relaxed. We like it well. However, it would be better if there is a drinking water(hot or boiling, especially) dispenser, or a water boiler, in the room. For every room a kettle of boiling water is given. But it is a little bit insufficient. Also there is no convenience store nearby. Travelers who are going to stay at this hotel may go buy beers, green teas, etc. beforehand. But overall, we like this hotel pretty much.

    Bathing rooms a bit small and there was only one power outlet in the room; my friend and I had to be strategic about rotating out the things we needed to charge (phone, pocket wifi, external battery, smart watch, electric toothbrush - somehow it all adds up!). Keep in mind that all the sinks and toilets are also shared across the whole floor. The first night we were there, the place was fully booked and there was a good amount of waiting around to be able to brush your teeth and otherwise use the facilities (thankfully, some others checked out for the second and third night we were there, which made things easier). Lastly, the wifi is a bit spotty.

    While a little out of the way from the main tourist attractions, it was still within walking distance to shops, the beach, Enoshima Island, and the aquarium. Actually, it was kind of nice to not being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. If you're a little more confident with your Japanese language skills, there are also smaller shops in the area that cater more towards the locals that are very accessible. Huge shoutout to the lady who runs the place too - very friendly and helpful. Made us feel right at home.

    Pillows were not very comfortable.

    The staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. They provided us with local maps in English and French, and pinpointed places of interested. They were very helpful with our needs and gave us a little postcard on departure. The location was amazing, so close to the trainline that takes you to Kamakura and a short walk to the monorail. It is also only one street from the sea front, which makes for a lovely morning and evening stroll. The traditional osen baths were lovely to relax in and added to the feeling of being in Japan! I would recommend staying here for a short stay as there is plenty to see and do within the location and great travel links to get around.

    The place is located in a relaxed little street walking distance to the tram and the beach. The host speaks very well english and the family room was spacious and very clean. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and an incredible bakery. It was so easy to visit Enoshima Island and Kamakura from there, we will definitely go back.

    Arrived at around 6:30 pm. Read that you need to get there by 8 if you expect to eat at the restaurant there in the hotel. I booked this hotel because we thought the restaurant (and location near the beach) would be convenient. Owners said they were full at the restaurant, and reservations needed to be made when we arrived exhausted and our son feeling unwell. The restaurant had only one private dinner party in one private room going on .We figured it was really because there was a festival in town that night, and owners had other plans (to party themselves). We walked all around town to find something open while our son was coming down with a fever, found a place eventually at another hotel a good distance away, so we got a taxi back. The room smelled very badly of mold. The futons were too flat and uncomfortable. We were given some postcards on our way out but felt it was only to butter us up because owners knew they gave us a raw deal.

    The location.

    The property is very well located, Koshigoe station is just over a min walk and Enoshima 25 min walk. The owners were very kind and helpful. The mattresses and pillows give the impression not to be comfortable but they turned out to be good and we have no complaints. We were able to keep some food in the fridge and cook our breakfast. We are glad we stay in Koshigoe and not near Kamakura Station.
