This place is perfectly located for a traveler: 5 minutes from the train station, right in the center of town, close to some very good restaurants, within walking distance of the major tourist attraction. The hotel is new and stylishly designed. The room is spacious. The breakfast was quite extensive, but with limited western breakfast choices. It was c a great choice.

Absolutely nothing. Well, maybe, the breakfast could have a few more western choices.

This hotel is among the very finest that I have stayed in during my 40 years of traveling the world. By "finest" I do not compare it to a Ritz Carlton or a Mandarin Oriental, which are also very, very fine. The word "finest" here is meant to say that everything, everywhere, and everyone offered an absurd high quality experience worth far, far more than what we paid. In that regard, the value ratio is off the charts. Let me say truthfully: I have never stayed at another Kamakura hotel *BUT* after staying here, I will never stay at another Kamakura Hotel. This is my home the next time that I am in Kamakura. The laundry facility was excellent, the (free) lobby coffee was almost as good as Starbucks, the entryway was modern and sleek, the location is absolutely spot-on, the folks at the check-in were so friendly and sweet, and the entire property is non-smoking. If I could time travel, I would tell the 3-month-ago-me to stop researching Kamakura hotels and just make the reservations at the Hotel "MK" and instead worry about the Kyoto hotel reservations.

For the money paid, nothing could be better. Frankly, this hotel could easily charge another Yen 10,000 / night (USD $64) and it would still be my first choice.

1. LOVE the proximity to shops like Muji, pharmaceutical store (just opposite), bookstore, post office, train station, supermarket etc. 2. Lovely room amenities with eye mask and leg patches provided! First time encountering a hotel giving these items as part of their amenity kit. 3. Love that the room also has 6 bottles for 3 pax! Very generous with their water. 4. The staff are very attentive, polite and accommodating, very good! This time around, I messaged the property via booking.com's messaging system for some special requests around Mar 2024. I didn't get a reply from them and was too busy to follow up. As it happens, the hotel missed out on my special request. Interestingly, the staff who checked us in, Ms. Satomaki, read my messages and to make up for it, she gave us a present from the hotel, so sweet of them. 5. Love that Muji is connected to the hotel and served breakfast albeit at a steep price of $30. We didn't have the hotel's Muji breakfast as there are other options nearby. 6. The main shopping street is just across the road

1. The room had a bit of a weird BO smell? We tried spraying everything we had but no use, I think it's just the room smell. We encountered this smell when we stayed in Feb 2024 too. 2. The hotel needs an onsen, even a small one, for it to be absolutely perfect! 3. The pillows are way too flat and small, which causes neck pain in the morning. Happened during our stay in Feb 2024 too. 4. Need a water cooler in their laundry area or somewhere in their hotel?

Breakfast is available at an extra charge and we did not take advantage of it. There is sufficient choice of prepared food from local supermarket and department store to support all meals. The view from the room, corner room on the top floor at the highest daily rate. The room was beautiful, large and pristine. The location in the heart of visitor's Kamakura is perfect.

There were a number of appliances in the room, heater, coolers, humidifiers with instructions only in Japanese. Take a picture and ask at the desk. There is a step-up in the middle of the room which has to be kept in mind. I did not like the desk on the second floor where the ice machine was also situated. Coming in to the hotel you had to wait for the lift to the 2nd floor and after taking care of goals, then walk back to the lift and wait again to get to the room.

I can recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Kamakura. It's a very short walk from Kamakura station and the hotel is as well in walking distance to major sightseeing sites of the city. There are plenty of excellent restaurant choices nearby and for people who don't want to spend money on the breakfast there is a family mart across the street. While rooms by European standard are a bit smaller they are larger than most of hotel rooms I have been to in 30 yeas of travelling to Japan. Breakfast is a bit pricy (3000 yen) but there are a lot of choices and the quality of the food, buffet, is excellent. The hotel is super clean, super efficient, the staff is outstanding and as mentioned before this is a clear recommendation.

There is absolutely nothing to complain.

The hotel has an excellent location - mere minutes away from the station. Room was spacious and clean. The staff were all super friendly and polite, it made us feel welcomed from the start. They were very helpful and professional in helping us send our luggage to the next hotel, even wrote the luggage slip for us beforehand which made it so much more easy for us. Breakfast was also excellent and delicious. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and will definitely stay here again next time in Kamakura. Thank you :)

The only thing worth noting is it would have been better if there were more than two washing machines, as it seemed there were constantly people using.

1. Great location with just 5 minute walk from JR station 2. Hotel sell also Enoden 1 day ticket and Kamakura Beer :) 3. There is a MUJI store with Cafe & Meal just beside, but you need to go out hotel first and go to the store. 4. TV have google cast that you can share video/open Netflix from the TV, and it showing also the crowdedness for the cafe during breakfast 5. Great breakfast, personally feels the salt grilled sea bass is best.

1. The room have great soundproof but the door... 2. My room is furthest from lift... hmm.. maybe i just bad luck.. lol 3. Direct stairs access to the lobby is closed usually, maybe i'm the only concern about this...

Bathroom very nice, with large soaking tub and wet room shower. Lots of extra bathroom amenities, such as face masks, foot masks and bath salts. Kids amenity bag also very appreciated, including sheep slippers for our daughter, who could also make use of traditional Japanese pyjamas which looked very cute on her. Room and facilities all good and clean. Air conditioning was good, as was fridge. Beds large and comfortable, lots of lighting options in the room. Location is great, just minutes from the central station and seconds from one of the largest shopping streets in the city. 11am late checkout was also appreciated.

Muji cafe breakfast was just ok, a little disappointed that it wasn't better for the price per person (around £15 each).

Couldn't have asked for a better location in Kamakura! The hotel is a two minute walk from the Kamakura JR station and the Enoden station, and just outside of the the 2nd torii gate leading up to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu (one of the most beautiful temples we've visited!). One block away from the hotel and just outside the JR station is the shopping street Komachi-Dori, full of fun shops and food vendors. The hotel is very modern, sleek, and clean. We had a room on the top floor with a fantastic view of Kamakura and the torii gate. We enjoyed the many amenities in our room and how quiet it was. The layout of the room was also quite nice. We would definitely stay at the Hotel Metropolitan again if we have the privilege of returning to Kamakura.

Nothing!

It’s very near to Kamakura Station, maybe 2-3 mins walk. Muji cafe is just at Level 1. Family Mart is beside. Near to many eateries as well. The hotel room size is not so squeezy. Bed is large for 2 pax. There are 2 chairs and a table by the window for us to take light meals. Bathroom is quite huge by Japan standard. Bathtub and a bathing area is separated by a door from the WC and basin area. They provided many bathroom amenities too. Coin operated washing machine can use IC card for payment which is super convenient.

Not that I can think of.
