Reviews of Akitaya Annex 1 stars

The hotel is close to tram station, and near the beach. The landlady so kind and helful. Very clear room

My sole purpose was to see that iconic slam dunk opening scene. And this location was so convenient. You can just walk and enjoy the beach on your way back and forth. There's also a grocery store nearby if you want to save up on food. Their bento was affordable and delish

It served its purpose since I was only there for a night. But maybe for ¥8000, one would expect a bathtub or access to the kitchen. Although the fridge and microwave were helpful. And the shampoo and body wash bottles didn't have labels. I couldn't tell which is which

The location was great, the owner was very polite and helpful. We didn’t have enough money and he offered to drive us to the nearest ATM. Very nice. :)

The bed creaks a lot

The room was clean, air-conditioning worked properly. Decent wi-fi.

Very narrow entrance from the back between 2 buildings. There is open space with 1 tiny table to sit 2 persons, and 2 shower rooms next to it. Toilets and rooms are on the 2nd floor. The stairway is VERY steep, which could be dangerous if you have heavy luggage or of a certain age. No kitchen utilities (like cups, chopsticks etc). Just nothing. Light switches on the 1st floor - hard to find them.

Entire property was clean. Owner/staff was very kind and helpful to us.

NA.

Cleanliness

The property exposed in the picture doesn’t correspond to the actual hostel. If you look for the hotel in the map, it says it’s permanently closed! So we had a bad time figuring out where was the property. Once we arrived, they send us to check in in another building two blocks away from where we slept. The hostess was kind and friendly

The staff was friendly and helpful, the area was great, right at the beach and close to enoshima . It's a great choice for one or two nights if you want to travel during the day. It's a normal Japanese house, so no sterile hotel. 1 minute from the station and around 15 min walk to enoshima. The pictures on the page are what you get. No luxury but good, clean basic housing.

All good

The staff is amazingly nice. You get what you booked for, the location is great (extremely close to the tram station and close to the beach). Enoshima Island is easily accessible by foot and Kamakura is close in tram. Would book again.

You might take a few minutes to find it: at the google map location there is an (empty) restaurant, but you'll see a drawing on the front door which tells you (in english) to walk 1 min in the same street to the main building. Once you know it, it is easy.

It was homey. The old man at the restaurant was kind and helpful.

I didn't like how it was a 3-minute walk from the restaurant featured in the advertisement for this room. The old man at the restaurant spoke good enough English. He was very accommodating, friendly and made us comfortable. He even suggested good places to eat that are still open after 9pm. The other man who handles the keys to the actual apartment, we were kind of weirded out with. He was okay but doesn't make eye contact and doesn't answer when asked. I think he is special needs but please don't quote me on this. Also, when he was leading us to the actual apartment which I said was a 3-minute walk from the restaurant, I got scared and we were tired and we were hauling our heavy luggage so you can imagine the discomfort and frustration we felt when we asked him where we are going and he was not answering. What made me dislike the property was there was another tenant who was staying at the same place maybe a few days before us and he poked my butthole while I was trying to put on my shoes (when my friend and I were leaving). His name was Mario and he claimed to be a Mexican traveler. So creepy. He gave us the heebie jeebies even the night before our departure. So weird. Please get a pepper spray from the 100-yen shop here and bring it with you! It's fairly safe in this country but not safe enough! There are disgusting people out here too.

Right in front of Koshigoe station. The staff was super helpful. I was short on cash, and he helped me to find an ATM. He even used his car to help me. The staff also helped me to locate some famous anime pilgrimage sites.

The main office (where you pay) is separated to the actual unit
