    Stunning boutique hotel in amazing location

    We loved it, but if you don’t like dogs you might not like the fact other guests may have their dog with them. It wasn’t intrusive or loud because of this, just relevant for those with allergies or phobias perhaps.

    The hotel is amazing. The rooms are massive by Japanese standards, it’s 2 minutes from the beach but still quiet and the facilities including private class are much higher quality than the cost of the stay would make you think. We had the tasting menu two nights in a row from the hotel restaurant and it was unbelievably reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The second night the chef asked if we’d like anything different and also made a bespoke cake for my birthday with a birthday message written in chocolate sauce. Wee details like this are amazing! Staff are incredibly friendly. It’s a small, high class boutique hotel with an incredibly small fee for what you get. Go here.

    This is a hotel that allows dogs. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of barking - when we registered, at dinner and whilst we were in our room; including in the early morning. It's not really the hotels fault - more bad pet ownership. But be aware - if barking disturbs you then look elsewhere.

    Lovely location and very easy to find. A modern, low rise building set in a beautiful garden. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and gracious. Our room was big and had everything we needed. A good size shower and lovely comfortable beds. The food was fresh and imaginative - really enjoyed our evening taster meal and breakfast.

    Serene Hotel with a Zen Vibe. Perfect place to stay in Kamakura

    It's a beautiful serene hotel with a very refined and zen vibe on a quiet street. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. The hotel has the design aesthetics of a very high end resort while being reasonably priced. We really enjoyed the hot bath. The terrace area is lovely for having breakfasts or just drinks. The hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes away by train from the main Kamukura train station. The same train that runs from the main station to the hotel also goes to the train station serving the Enoshima Island. From the hotel, it's a short walk to many charming restaurants, cafes, and stores in town, many serving snacks and desserts that have a unique local favor. We also enjoyed running on the beach front trail which is about 100 feet from the hotel. There is a stunning view of Mt. Fuji on the trail.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Amazing place, would highly recommend. Large rooms, the onsen is booked privately for 40 min so you pretty much have your own bathroom. In your room you do have your own toilet. Everything immaculately clean

    There is nothing we didnt like

    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.
