Very friendly staff and very convenient to many restaurants, etc. 2 blocks from beach as well. But the beds were uncomfortable and the rooms needs a deep cleaning. Convenience, location and staff can’t be better though.

Best Guest House

This was one of my favorite hostel experiences ever. Makoto, Ana, and Karen are the nicest staff ever, we extended out stay multiple days because we met other amazing people staying at this hostel and became very familiar with Kamakura. Kamakura should be a multi-day trip and you should definitely stay at Iza Kamakura House if you want a really comfortable and laid back place to stay.

The hostel is relatively clean. I have stayed in many hotels, and this one is the most uncomfortable. There are no iron beds as you can see in the picture. When I checked in, there were six iron beds, no curtains, and no privacy at all. If you move them slightly, they make a sound. If someone gets off the bed or sits on it, they will feel the shaking.

唯一良い点をあげるとトイレにウォッシュレットが付いていた点、トイレは割と綺麗にされていました。 しかしその他は清潔なイメージはなく、特に共用シャワールームに関しては脱衣所の床も湿気でズルっと滑るほどで浴室の扉は開閉がままなりません。至る所にカビが繁殖しており挙句の果てにシャンプーボトルにはボディソープが入っておりました。髪の毛がバシバシになり、不清潔さに嫌悪感を抱きながら眠りました。

Great spot for a budget visit to the beach!

Very clean and cute shared bathrooms and common areas in this house. We had a private room, which was nice as a couple, but there seemed to be other guests quietly socializing in the dining space/bar from time to time. Shower amenities are provided (even some extras, like sunscreen and face wash were in the women's restroom). Bring your own towels for showering though, otherwise you can pay to borrow some. We appreciated the hose outside to rinse off after the short walk back from the beach. Also, there's a convenience store right nearby, which is really nice because most restaurants were closed by the time we wanted dinner. No refrigerator in the room (didn't check if there's one available elsewhere) and eating/drinking is only allowed in the common area- a bit inconvenient, but pretty standard for this style of accommodation. Really nice, interesting, and attractive structure overall, the architecture and layout is unique and welcoming. We enjoyed our experience at Iza and would stay here again!

The rooms were stuffy and very crowded. As a hostel, we're used to being able to figure out food better than we were able to here. There was an issue with the booking and Expedia charged us the wrong rate but we were made to feel like it was our fault and that we should have been giving them more money. If we had seen the "real" rate, we never would have stayed here. Even the amount we paid for was more than what we were paying in Tokyo for better atmosphere and amenitites. We've travelled a lot. We wouldn't stay here again.

Bring your earplugs and a towel! You can hear everything through the walls, but the rooms and bathrooms are basic and nice enough. No frills here, the breakfast that I could see was rice and tea. Extra charge for a bath towel. But it was very close to the beach, Hase Station and good restaurants.
