Reviews of plat hostel keikyu kamakura wave 1 stars

Excellent location, helpful staff and nice room with private bathroom

Probably better for young travellers.

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.

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

The best hostel I stayed, perfect for solo traveling. The staff was really kind and welcoming and you will be in a great location to move around really easily. + is really close to the main station and to come and go from Tokyo is really efficient. The staff is 10 out of 10. Made my stay even more unique.

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

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

Very clean, friendly staff, comfortable and good location

Late check in of 4pm but not that difficult to manage. They could hold luggage which was good

Very comfy and stylish environment

nope!

The staff was friendly and communicated in English fluently. The room was comfortable and designed to ensure privacy. The location is close to the station. Will come back next time.

The place was very nice. We didn't expect such comfort and atmosphere from the hostel.

The mattress was too hard for me.

The location and cleanliness

N/A

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.

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.

Nice location, very clean, they have a roof terrace and a kitchen. The room was small but had all necessary amenities

Everything was good, except the floor cover in the room looked a little odd - I thought this kind of material is only used for outside facilities

Cheap hostel with nice location in Kamakura. Option to book a private bathroom.

It was super humid and a bit moldy inside the room. The bed was really uncomfortable.

Location, quietness, and staff

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)

What a find!!! We booked the private room with a bathroom and a bunk bed. Coming from Tokyo, we were blown away by the quality of the room especially for the price we paid. It felt roomy for the both of us and bathroom was sparkling clean which added to our comfort. Bunk beds were very spacious and the little details that the room had - a privacy blind for each bed to block out light, the charging station by each bed, the reading lamp, lock box - were such a nice touch. The decor was minimal but perfect - loved the wooden accents. Common facilities like the rooftop, kitchen and laundry are also a great addition to the space. And we loved how close it was to the beach, train station and local coffee spots/restaurants.

The room was generally clean but was dusty. We found a huge amount of dust underneath the bed and near the reading lamp on the beds. If you are allergic to dust or an asthmatic, I wouldn't recommend this space.
