Villa Sacra

Friendly staff, great location, beautiful room

It was not the same as the photos. Small room.

The bed was extremely comfortable, the staff were very welcoming and helpful, the facilities were everything we could need. Wise we could have stayed longer!

As they state the walls are thin but they are transparent about this and provide earplugs upon request.

The staff were exceptional! The woman who checked us in was very personable and helpful, and pushed the hotel from "great" to "exceptional". The location is also perfect for anything you want to do or see in the city.

The stay was peaceful

Convenient

Nothing

Erg dure kamer met 1 gedeelde douche en 2 toiletten, alsook 1 lavabo en 1 keuken wasbak. Gedeelde frigo, en waterkoker. De kamers zijn niet echt stil, je hoort de sirene als de slagbomen sluiten, de treinen en de aankondigingen. De muur van da kamer is wel mooi versierd, en er is een aparte, maar donkere zithoek. Personeel is vriendelijk en er zogezegd 24 uur op 24, maar daar zou ik niet op rekenen.

The location was close to Kamakura train station. The house had a quaint, traditional vibe. The staff spoke English and were very friendly. Washer and dryer were free to use.

The whole building felt very cramped. The bathroom was next to the kitchen sink / cooking area, which was next to the general bathroom sink, which was right in front of the reception booth. So, unless you were in your room, you always felt very self-conscious about being in other people's spaces. The dryer had a thick layer of dust in the vents. The walls are very thin (they do warn you about that).

This place is unique. I was looking for a more traditional lodging with affordable price and it was a perfect match. I really enjoyed the vibe of an old Japanese house. The staff showed me around, I loved the free of charge dryer and the common space. The room felt a bit cold, but I got an extra blanket. The overall atmosphere was great, definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone while in Japan, on par with staying in a ryokan or love hotel.

That said, the house is lovely, but it's old, so it might not be for everyone. The walls are thin (as it says in the description) and you can hear lots of sounds including the train. I didn't mind it, plus other guests were quiet, but it might be a bother.

I really enjoyed this place it might not be for everyone but the staff was lovely and the location is perfect if you are wanting to spend time in Kamakura!
