Kamakura Seizan

Though not in the busiest tourist areas, the location of this hotel is at the heart of Kamakura with shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel design is very stylish and new. The hotel does not have a carpark or drop off areas, therefore it can get a little inconvenient if you are going by your own car. The staff gave information about the closest overnight parking which is very helpful because parking in Kamakura is very expensive. For the room, it was quite disappointing. Though I already know about the room size and that the facilities is limited (no TV), when I actually entered the room, I find the lighting is insufficient as well. There was only a very dim ceiling light in the room, I had to turn on the mirror light and bring over the table light to the nightstand side to have slightly better lighting. The amenties were to be collected at the lobby so it was okay. However, the room only provides kettle and 2 bottles of water, there was no tea bag or coffee whatsoever. About the bathroom: the towels were placed inside a wire basket which is placed directly on the floor, and that makes me feel very concerned for its hygiene. There is a restaurant/bar and shop on the lobby floor. While I enjoyed the shop very much, I think it would be nice if the staff could introduces us to what the restaurant/bar offers (to supplement for the lack of tea bags / coffee in the room). Generally speaking, it gives me a feeling that the hotel is a budget hotel branded as a boutique hotel. At this price, there are far better choices in Kamakura.

予約の際にテレビがないことに気づかず、部屋に入ってびっくりしました。 テレビも時計もなく、日常から離れて過ごすというコンセプトと伺い、なるほど〜と思ったのですが、その日に見たいものがあったので、ちょこっと残念でした。 ホテル自体はおしゃれで、部屋もお風呂も十分に広く、快適に過ごせました。 3種類から選べる朝食も大満足です。 駅からも思っていたより近くて、とても便利でした。

優點：酒店設計感很強，花園式的，很温馨，房間也乾淨整潔。服務也非常到位。 缺點：硬件設施過於強調設計，缺了人文關懷，房間內的牆面凹凸不平，過道又很窄，每次經過都會不小心刮到衣服，或刮到皮膚。 衞生間洗手盆過於精緻小巧，每次用水都會被濺到，其實完全可以換一個大一點的洗手盆。 房間內的凳子很漂亮，但坐起來很難受，可能是設計的角度問題。
