The staff were awesome. Really close to station, but was in a walkable area. The only negative is the capsule doors aren't very wide, but easy enough to deal with Another guest decided to do laundry at 1 am but thats not the properties fault.

It was more than the price. I even extended my stay there two more days. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I also appreciate their free washing machine and dryer! The room was clean, and great location. It was very quiet. I stayed there for four days but never heard the sound that other people wrote. It could be just a timing. I would stay there again.

ツインの部屋に泊まりましたが、寝具も清潔で、泊まるだけなら全然問題ありませんでした。 宿泊費も安く、駅にも近いので鎌倉周辺の観光にはとてもよいホテルと思います。 ホテルの立地が通りに面しており、特に、ツインの部屋が通りに隣接しているため、通りの音が気になる人はストレスを感じる人がいるかもしれません。

日本語を話せるスタッフもいないため何を言ってるのかわからないし、対応は悪くなかったが、 部屋に入ると臭いし、テレビもないし、歯ブラシすらない。なので息子に買いに行かせた。 部屋からすぐ外には外人さんと、スタッフの女の子がおしゃべりをしていて丸聞こえ！ 臭くて寝るにも居心地が悪くて何度も起きた！ とにかく居心地が悪くてホテルを間違えたと思った。次の日の朝はいちばんにホテルを出たくて支度をした。もう二度と利用したくない。
