Iza Kamakura Guest House and Bar

My overall stay was excellent. The location is super convenient for getting around, with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was clean and tidy, and the bedding was really comfortable, making for a very relaxing sleep. The staff were all friendly and polite, and very prompt in responding to requests. The facilities were well-maintained, and the soundproofing was decent. It's definitely good value for money, and I'd prioritize staying here again next time I'm in the area.

The room was stuffy and unventilated when we first checked in. There were only two bathrooms, but that wasn't an issue since there weren't many guests that night. The front desk staff spoke good English, so communication wasn't a problem. It's very close to the beach, so anyone who loves the sea will definitely enjoy it.

Great hostel - I extended my stay! It's close to the ocean and the Kamakura Buddha. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby too. They provide slippers. The beds and showers are very clean. There's even a small bar in the hostel with cheap cocktails!

This was my first time traveling abroad, my first time traveling alone, and my first time flying alone. The hotel receptionist, Umiya, was Japanese, and we communicated in English just like good friends. In the evenings, the common area was filled with people from all over the world – Filipinos even gave me snacks, and there were Koreans, French, and Argentinians. It felt like a crossroads, forming a big, temporary family. It's also incredibly close to Kamakura Beach, just a short walk away. This is the best hostel I've ever stayed at.
