On the downside, we regret not staying longer to try the hostel’s kitchen, which looked very inviting.

Our experience at Plat Hostel Kamakura was overall very positive. The location is excellent, just a short walk from a shop where you can rent bicycles, and although it’s a bit far from the sea, it’s still very convenient thanks to its proximity to the city center. Getting there by train is also easy, as the hostel is less than a 10-minute walk from the station. Our room was spacious, with a large, very comfortable bed. The shower was big and pleasant, although the sink was located outside, integrated into the room. We loved the décor — fresh and modern, with a nice touch of traditional style. The staff was incredibly friendly, allowing us to leave our luggage until our return and even bringing it to our room. A highlight is the rooftop, where you can enjoy dinner with a nighttime view of the city or have a barbecue. The price was also very reasonable.

Beds are bit hard, no car parking support or parking partners to reduce the burden of expensive car parking.

Location and cost effective. Water hose for washing sand and beach gear.

The location and cleanliness

Stayed in June 2025

I don’t think they cleaned our room too well before we got there. There was some dust on my bed-frame and a used paper napkin from a restaurant stuck under one of the beds. There was also a frustrating lack of storage spaces in the room.

Great location and value.We stayed in the 4 person family room.Sleep pods take a little bit of getting used to, but provided some comfortable nights of sleep.

2 out of 4 beds smell like sweat, pillow, sheet and the mattress. Reflect this to the staff and she told us to remove the mattress and change the sheet (but still, the smell is into the pillow and mattress)

Close (5 mintes walk) to the beach and the station. Good facilities like a kitchen and common areas. Also luggage storage. Staff were friendly and the receptionist I dealt with spoke English well. The sea breeze was a welcome relief in June!

The bed mattresses were a bit thin so I used the comforter from the extra bed for additional padding.

Nothing!

It is a short walk from kamakura station and had many cafes nearby. There is lots to see and do around the hostel! They provide for a daily change of towel but you will have to request at the counter.

- Slightly smaller than expected - Late check in time

The location is about 5-10 minutes from JR Kamakura station, it’s convenient and one of the nearest when I did my research. There are convenient stores nearby or you can easily order food from the bistro if you dont feel like going out (there’s halal/vegan menu options too). The rooms are very clean and the staffs were all nice 😊 We arrived early and stored our luggage at the reception. When we came back to check in, our stuffs were already in the room. Loved the hospitality.

I wish the rooftop area was open before 8am But apart from that nothing was wrong with the property

This property in centrally located. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

There was a lot of dust under the bunk beds and inside the air conditioning which may be something to watch out for if you also have a dust allergy.

Amazing location, laid-back vibe and exactly what you need for a nice stay in Kamakura. Really liked the rooftop in the evening.

Lovely location and staff were accommodating

I had a hard time sleeping as the bed and pillow were quite hard.

The shower and bathroom was amazing. The room was spacious and staff very welcoming. No problem with communucating in english. Not too far from the sea or tourist attractions.

The breakfast is handmade and good value for money and the common area is kept clean.

Wasn’t able to add on breakfast despite the welcome leaflet given upon check in mentioned that only one day before of notice was required

Good location, clean, and kitchen was well-equipped.

Especially in the mornings staff at the front reception are hard to access. A person has to pick up their reception phone and call them, but with the lack of English, a person basically just needs them to come to the front desk, not explain what they need over the phone.

A very nice hostel and we had our own small bathroom. It's a bit strange being in a hotel room with people hanging out in the common kitchen to get space away from their shared bedrooms, but that's fine. Staff for the most part was friendly, and the common area near the reception was lively. Wifi worked well for meetings. Walking distance to basically everything near the train station in Kamakura which is awesome.
