Both locations are right across from each other so easy to find if you go to the wrong location at first. Easy entry keypad and easy check in. I wish there was a space to hold my luggage for the day, but I knew when booking that it was mostly unmanned. It was very quiet which is good for resting, and the upstairs kitchen and lounge was clean and comfortable. Good sized women’s only dorm room and the bed space was roomy. Lockers provided in room for baggage as well as space under the lower bunks. For someone who needed a clean and quiet space to sleep for the night, it was good! But if you want a more social hostel, this place isn’t for you. Very close to the nearest train station as well!

The property was extremely close to enoshima and the train station. It was extremely clean for the most part and had an amazing guest lounge. The guest lounge has manga to read and games to play. The whole room is very soundproof and stops a lot of the noise. The staff was very kind and helpful. Ensuring that there was no problems with my stay. He would turn up the ac as he saw there were people in the guest lounge.

I stayed on the top very right bunk which was farthest from the AC. This made it hot sometimes during the night but not unbearable.

Communication with staff is good Very good location

The room is slightly smaller

The Annex for female only is very nice, clean, warm, comfortable and has a kitchen to use. The other house is not so nice, smells of damp and the lounge area is in the basement, cold and dark. The location is excellent close to beach, train station and shops.

Unfortunately, the staff does not speak English and therefore communication is super difficult. Also I requested late check-out which they denied even though the hostel was almost empty.

The upstairs common area was really nice

Was prssent for part of the cleaning upstairs and the upstairs vaccuming was very lacklustre. They are stingy with green tea that's free - dorm was always full and the private rooms appeared occupied most of rhe time but there was only ever a max of 3 green teas. The dorm room smelled like BO. I think it's the actual bedding that stunk

Our room is the only double size bed room in this homestay, on the 1st floor, right beside the check-in place. The other rooms (a twin room and a dormitry room) were on the 2nd floor. There are sharing toiletes, and 2 shower rooms. Shoes are not allowed to wear inside so the floor (and the whole place) is relatively clean. At first I worried about the noise and privacy, but during the stay I felt it was quite cozy and not very noisy---unless you are very sensitive to sounds (such as the rain dripping on the roof, the slippers, etc.) Speaking honestly the room was small, not able to squeeze a big suit case (if you happen to have one) inside and open it. It is good for backpack travelers who just want a bed to rest and spend most of the time outdoor. The living room downstairs (at B1F) was big enough for eating, chatting, and even playing PingPong LOL. We found an interesting book, bilingual, introduding Japanese culture---very fascinating. The location was excellent, very close to the beach, the Enoshima isle, and the 3 different type railway's stations. The staff here was friendly and the self-help check-in process was not very complicated (not like some tourists mentioned).

Not big enough but cozy for rest and friendly to backpack travelers.

Directions to the dorm were useful and the self check-in was easy to do. Female dorm room and bathroom are clean and well furnished - the annex lounge is very comfortable and aesthetic. Easy to use the washing machine and dryer.

As the dorm is conveniently located near the Katase-Enoshima station, noises made by the train could be heard until 11pm. There is only one toilet and you have to go up the stairs to the 2nd floor.

Location is very close to the train station and the beach. Enoshima island and Enoshima aquariums are in walking distance. Loved its cute ocean-themed interior/interior decors. I liked that there were earplugs available.

Checkin process is complicated, lots of steps and many codes. Most of all, I didn't like taking guest's photograph and video record. You have to rent towels and toothbrush at extra charge.

Sizey rooms. Self catering little space with hanging area for clothing. Bed was comfy, great nights sleep even next to the railway track. The location is close to both train stations.

The key code system takes getting used to, as well as the self check in. There are also 2 apartment blocks of this guesthouse a few streets apart. The map helped our Japanese friends to get us to the correct location. It would be helpful to have the map in other languages as well.

Location is perfect to go to Enoshima. Everything fine. I could store the luggage on the day of check out and pick it up later.

The self-check-in process was a bit annoying, taking a picture of your passport, saying your name out loud in a camera.
