plat hostel keikyu kamakura wave

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.

We stayed for one night in January 2024 to meet up with friends and do some hiking. We stayed in a private room with a double bed and private washroom. The bed was firm but comfortable. There is space under the bed for large items like suitcases. The private washroom supplied shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body and face towels, and toothbrushes, with other amenities available for a small fee. The toilet is a Japanese style washlet. The room had a large chair, rack with coat hangers, slippers, and a clothes drying rack for towels. Under the sink there was a small fridge, a kettle, and two glass mugs. In the 3rd-floor kitchen they offer free instant coffee and green tea, as well as a large shared fridge, microwave, toaster oven, and various cookware. It’s very close by to grocery stores and a cheap supermarket with evening discounts on prepared food. After 11PM the front entrance is closed, you enter via a code given at check-in, the door is very heavy so pull hard! They have other services we didn’t use like an outdoor terrace (open 8AM-9PM), laundry (washing 300円, drying 100円/30min), outdoor shower, rooftop view, smoking area, and a restaurant. Overall it seems like a really convenient place to stay, especially in the summer if you come for the beach.

Customer Service - they spoke English very well, and I was able to leave my luggage before checking in and after checking out for a few hours. They are both approachable. Location: 10-15mins away from the Kamakura Station, and Komachi-dori street and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. Towel (mini and big) and toothbrush is included. Blowdryer is available in the changing room. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash is present in the shower area. Locker/luggage area is enough for one medium-sized luggage. You can put your bagpack/handbag at the top level of the desk, and shoes in the second layer. Inside the capsule, there is a small locker with key where you can place your important items inside; a small lamp; three plugs; one pillow; two hangers.

The compact and comfortable room I stay was like perfect for solo (and probably couple) travelers. Room has everything I need and the shared lounge and balcony was comfy. Their interior was in the simple and cozy style (and I love it); staff was friendly and check out was convenient; location was pretty close to Kamakura station, and there were like tons of shops and restaurants around and even a supermarket. Definitely would like to stay there again.

Love the location. So close to the train and bus.easy to walk every where.10min to the beach Bed so comfortable and I the dorm only 6 bed which is perfect small room but not too crowned. All staff really friendly ad helpful. Shower pressure good clean and this hostel offer you towel teeth brush and slippers awesome.
