Tabinoteitaku Kamakura Yuigahama

The shared living room and kitchen were messy, and I couldn't tell how long the drinking water had been sitting in its container. There were free umbrellas, plus a convenience store and Enoden station nearby. It felt like a multi-floor house converted into a guesthouse. My room worked for one night and was quiet, though there wasn't much room to walk around. The sofa took up space, the charger was awkwardly tucked in a corner, and I couldn't figure out the room heater. Bathrooms were on the first floor, toilets on every floor. Sharing them with other guests was fine, and clean towels were available by the bathrooms. A sign said staff weren't around, and the front door was unlocked. I dropped off my backpack, then came back to find someone asleep on the sofa. He looked shocked when I opened the door without knocking. I thought nobody was there because the sign was still up. A woman and child were there too, but didn't acknowledge me. The man told me which room was mine and explained the house rules, then left me to manage on my own.

I stayed awake all night because the mattress and blanket smelled strongly musty, and I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep. The bathroom was damp and dirty too. It was a really disappointing, unpleasant stay, and I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

The owner was friendly, and the beach is nearby. But the house was already a mess at the entrance, and cleanliness was a problem throughout. The rooms were moldy and smelled bad, and the bathroom and kitchen were dirty too. I felt uncomfortable for the whole stay. If cleanliness matters to you, I wouldn't recommend this place.

For the price, it's a really convenient place to stay. The staff were kind, even for an introvert like me.
