Had to delete and repost my review many times as Google won't allow certain words here but I need to tell the truth. Would give negative stars if I could. Stayed here few nights in end July. Very thin mattress, flat hard pillow- woke with back pain for days. Thin walls- can hear everything; guests mostly young/noisy. Very thin towels. Room floor is like concrete road- rough and bumpy. Room has basic amenities. Reception only 8am-11pm but staff may not be around even then. No room cleaning but can change towels and empty bin. No space to put stuff. Shelves or a small table would be good. Good location near shops/station. Room not gd for anything e.g read/chill. On 22 July at 8.55pm, I saw a couple making out for a long time in the hallway near my room (210), when their room 206 was just nearby. It's on CCTV. Told staff- they knocked on rm 206 to warn them but they didn't open the door. Not sure if any follow up but no real consequences. Saw same couple at checkout and staff treated them like stars. Don't recommend this place at all. Profit trumps guest's comfort and public decency here.

Firstly the dormitory beds are really uncomfortable. There are places to keep your luggage in the dormitory rooms. The main issue for us was that it was a mixed dormitory. 4 girls and 2 guys that we didn't know, one of whom didn't speak English which made us feel uncomfortable. We were travelling with guys but they were in a different dormitory. Really noisy as you can hear everything from the next dorm room. Would not recommend staying here

Close to Kamakura station and Enoden line! Basic rooms but had everything you need. Shower was powerful and water was hot! Let us store our bags before check in and they even took them up to our rooms for us. Building is well equipped with communal areas. Only downside was the bed and pillows were not the most comfortable but fine for 1 night! Highly recommend a stay to see Mt Fuji at sunrise.

The hostel is very clean, the check in and check out is also very easy. Meanwhile, it's location is pretty much the greatest point easily access to kamakura station and restaurants in the area. However, luggage storage is confusing since there is no clear direction. I left very early in the morning and since there is no staff, I dropped my key as a check out process, and simply hid my luggage in the hostel. But would definitely recommend the place.

This is a really good option for travellers in Kamakura, about 10 min walk from the Kamakura station, good for backpackers and couples. Rooms are very small but good enough. Easy connectivity and accessible, definitely recommended.
