Very nice place and very friendly staff. Beds are confortable and everything is super clean. Breakfast was very tasty although quantity was a bit limited for my taste. The shared bath has to be booked when you check-in. So it's great because you have the bath for yourself, but also you cannot use it freely since it might be booked by other rooms. Altogether a great experience in Kamakura.

Apparently they are used to welcome people with their dogs (they even have a specific item on the menu for dogs). No problem for us, but some might find it unconfortable.

Stayed with adult daughter. Bird Hotel is exceptional! Walking distance to water, restaurants, and temples. We enjoy walking. The design and calm atmosphere of hotel is outstanding. Delicious Japanese breakfast and soothing private hot bath (reserve). The professional and friendly staff allowed us to keep our luggage the hotel day of checkout. They were sympathetic to our needs after hawk and crows swooped down and stole our sushi. Don’t eat food on the beach! Highly Bird Hotel as will recommend to all and will stay again on next visit to Kamakura.

What a delight! Wonderful location (easily reachable by public transit), close to the beach, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, beautiful and simple decor. The most comfortable bed of our entire trip in Japan. It was warm enough during our stay in October to be able to have breakfasts and dinners outside, which made it feel like summer, only without the crowds. Japanese friends from Tokyo came down for dinner with me and each made a note to come back again for a stay. I never wanted to leave!

The coffee in the morning was rough (bitter). I'm not sure if it was the coffee itself or the amount used, I feel like it was the former. The Bird's kitchen is all about supporting local and artisanal producers; they might need to look for another coffee roaster to support.

Staff were exceedingly helpful with need to divert travel plans d/t typhoon- the front desk gentleman went above and beyond to have our luggage transferred from our hotel in Osaka (where we had forwarded it before going to Kamakura) to a different hotel in Tokyo (where we had to divert to get flight home and avoid typhoon related issues at KIX). Location close to train station Breakfast is very fresh and made when ordered- Japanese and Western options available I did not use it but was told by other group members that the tub/onsen-like bath was very relaxing. Rooms are extraordinarily spacious

We like everything about this hotel: friendly receptionist and staff, very spacious room, nice ambiance of the room and the dinning room, etc. The cook-to-order breakfast sets were simple but extremely fresh and tasty. We also enjoyed the lovely private onsen bath that could be reserved free of charge. Even though the location was two short train stops away from the Kamakura Train Station and the Tsurugaoka Shrine, the hotel is actually within walking distance to the Great Buddha and the Hasedera Temple, and is only one block from the ocean. The place is such a gem!

Nothing we can think of.

Proximity to station within a very nice neighborhood with a 24 hours convenience store and the fanciest restaurants in a 3 minutes walking radio. Not a front beach hotel but just in the corner crossing the boulevard. To be honest loved the Manager Mrs Horiuchi and her ALL Japanese staff able to communicate in english, Kudos for ALL the females personal, sincere big smiles and kind conversation. We had the Queen room with shower and huge balcony, it is really worth to use it while having a Champagne bottle with local ham and cheese. Make us feel to my wide and myself at home. BTW the breakfast was really good and healthy, they even repeat you with a second cup of coffee.

The Males staff doesn’t work the extra mile, in fact looks like they don’t care at all. As a matter of fact, there was only 1 thing that I had to reclaim, and the manager took full responsibility and managed accordingly and exceeded expectations, she makes almost us to regret we have complained. I am almost sure the root cause of the mistake was due to males staff mistake, even once we returned to the hotel at night time he wasn’t there at the front to greet us.

I would definitely recommend this hotel, it is perfectly located, two steps from the beach and right next to a tram stop if you want to get to the center of Kamakura and other train stations. The room was very spacious and comfortable, and you had the possibility to privatise their onsen, which was a great way to wind down after walking all around Kamakura visiting all the sights. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the staff was lovely.

Good location near to the sea but also not too far from the shops. Clean and modern furnishings, comfortable and spacious room. Hotel also recommended a lovely soba restaurant very close by which we had also picked out beforehand and we had a very enjoyable dinner there.

Asked if we could check out an hour later at 11.00 and was charged extra for this - a little disappointed about this but perhaps we didn't read about this extra charge when we booked.

I greatly appreciate the very helpful and friendly staff. The room was spacious with a large bed. There was a selection of Asian and European breakfast. The European breakfast was very well prepared and tasty. The beach is just a few meters from the hotel. Unfortunately, we made a spontaneous decision and stayed only one night, but it is definitely worth staying longer.

There is nothing we didnt like

Beautiful approach and garden were perfect and we really love them. Breakfast in the garden was very good experience. Location close to the sea is also appreciated and we could enjoy the sea at night with a kind staff arrangement.

Only negative point was a bath. Huge bath is very special and we had a relaxing time, but it was a bit hassle to get an appointment. In my preference, private bath is better because we could take a bath freely when we want to.
