BENCH_kamakura — Hotel in Kamakura

The most unpleasant experience in Japan! First impression is very good but when you’ll try to sleep… Everything is made to make the noise! Doors have no holders, hair dryers you’ll find right at the place you sleep, not in the shower rooms! Sinks as well, you’ll be bothered as much as possible! So instead of make this area further they made everything noisy right at the sleeping area!

At the checking time the staff was ok. But the most disappointing was the staff in the evening. It’s not a Japanese girl. She was talking loud with guests after 11 am! She didn’t stop super loud and slamming the doors people. She just was sitting and doing her staff until I came and asked to do something! She didn’t explained that guests that there are some must rules in hostels like it was everywhere I stayed! And it’s must to keep silence and respect! She smiled just said that it’s not her business, it’s a place she just works! Sounds so rude and pretty western! As I know it’s normal to respect and take care about other people in Japan! And make everything very comfortable. They even didn’t switched off the light in the sleeping area until I asked! What a mood! Shower was good, clean, hot water. The place to sleep is pretty specious. No luggage keeping locker. Kettle, tea, coffee, microwave, towels, ear plugs, space to eat. Fan, two lights, no hangers, no hooks for clothes or towels. No space for shoes. Can’t recommend just because the organization process is failed. And it’s very sad! To care about the quietness is...

Clean, modern, but very noisy. When you enter a hotel and there is right at reception, a jar of earplugs, you know what’s about to happen. Although the Japanese are very considerate, there is a ton of foreigners who come and go through the night and take a shower at 1 AM and turn on the hairdryer in the middle of the hallway and so forth. We stayed in the first room to the left even before reception (H room) and that room has a glass wall facing the street which receives live through the whole night so the room is not even dark. One positive point is that all hotels in Lamakura were fully booked, and this was the only one left at a reasonable price so can’t...

Probably the worst place I slept in during my travels. The place had no free space for me to put my backpack, so I stored it in their washroom with all the bedsheets. Not ideal to say the least. There was also no comfortable space to change or arrange your stuff, besides in your bed. The showers were exposed to the entrance door which was a bit uncomfortable. Most annoying was the fact that the place was so unclean, even the small space you could stand and change clothes in felt dirty. I legitimately lied in bed waiting for the night to be over so I could get out...
