Hostels w: Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Cleanliness is closer to 3.5 if you're being really picky because the shower walls could use a good wipe down & the bunk bed frame could be vacuumed. Overall though, pretty good. The best part is the location! Right in the middle of a street of restaurants & souvenir shops next to the beach, next to a konbini, Shonan Monorail & train stations down the street, & Enoshima Island over the bridge. The staff is very friendly & a couple of them speak English. Something to note, their wifi kept disconnecting for a few of the guests & I. The second thing I enjoyed most is the bottom floor being a cafe & staying guests get a discount. I really recommend the milkshakes & fried items! I stayed in the female dormitory, both floors shared by all. I personally didn't feel unsafe. The main doors are locked at night & you could lock the dormitory door. The dormitory is right by the street so you will hear people & vehicles if that's something you're particular about. Lastly, don't forget to turn on the AC. Somehow, we forgot about it the first night & were sweating. I also opened the window because my bunk was further away from the AC & boxed up, both of which helped! Overall, enjoyed my experience at Iza & will stay again when visiting Enoshima!

Pokój odpowiadał temu na zdjęciach, co mi się podobało. To jest część wspólna, a konkretnie damska toaleta. Chociaż jest sprzątana codziennie, zapach jest bardzo intensywny i nie odważę się tam zostać zbyt długo. Mam nadzieję, że uda się zbadać przyczynę tego intensywnego zapachu. W toalecie znajduje się butelka mydła do rąk i suszarka do włosów. Są dwie toalety. Chociaż cały budynek jest dla niepalących, z wszędzie wiszą znaki zakazu palenia, niektórzy nadal palą, więc w nocy, gdy jest tłoczno, na korytarzu czuć bardzo silny zapach! Moje zastrzeżenia dotyczą zapachu z toalety i dużej liczby osób palących w pokojach. Jeśli masz dużo bagażu, radzę wybrać inne miejsce, ponieważ pokoje są małe, a budynek nie ma windy. Prysznic jest dodatkowo płatny.

非常好的旅店！強烈推薦！在居民區裏靠近海岸，很安靜（有23：00熄燈的規定，但對我而言完全可以接受），氛圍復古有格調，讓人感到很舒適。公共區域有多種茶和咖啡可供選擇。工作人員（可以這樣稱呼嗎？）的英語不錯，而且非常友善。在早晨，一位工作人員耐心的教我如何用公共區域的工具製作一杯手衝咖啡。牀鋪的空間並不大，但也並不侷促，睡的很舒服。和同住的房客們交流也非常令人愉快。旅店還提供租單車的服務，可以一路向南騎往逗子游覽。不過並不提供免費的毛巾和洗漱用具，這可能是需要注意的地方。 總而言之，這裏給我留下的深刻的印象。如果您想避開遊客，尋找一個可以安静又感受當地社區氛圍的旅舍，請一定要考慮這裏！

The hostel is located on the second floor of an apartment building. The room is very new and overall very comfortable and very clean with a cozy lobby. Compared to other youth hostels I stayed in, there were particularly many Western tourists carrying large hiking bags. Since the business district of Odawara City is concentrated around the station, there are few restaurants and supermarkets near the hostel, and there are no washers and dryers provided. It takes you approximately 8 minutes to walk to the laundry and the centered area of the city. But overall it is still very comfortable, and it is recommended for solo travelers! 旅館位於一棟公寓2樓，房間非常新且整體很舒適、非常乾淨，大廳很舒服。相比於我住的其他青年旅館，背著大登山包的西方旅客特別多。 由於小田原市的商圈比較集中在車站一代，旅館附近比較少餐廳和超市，也沒有附設洗烘衣機，需要走路8分鐘到洗衣店。但整體還是很舒服，推薦獨旅旅客來居住！

Cozy place. A tv that can either be a good thing or a bad one if ppl turn it up too loud and spend hours on it zapping around. In the same time in that same common area it’s forbidden to talk, as this place is supposed to be for eating and working, but then they place a tv with Netflix and YouTube and all that stuff in that same room. It’s too hot in the dormitory with too thick blankets at the same time. Otherwise the view from the common space is great and there’s a balcony for smoking on the other side of the apartment. In the end I worked in the stairway…also they place the ppl close to each other even if there’s a lot o space to keep them at distance. So half of the dorm was empty but still I had a snoring guy sleeping right underneath my bed…this can be improved.

☀️ When i first arrived, i thought i was at the wrong place - i‘ve never booked something so nice for myself before! 🪲PROS - chill 4 people bedrooms, with a comfy bed and a big personal shelf + locker and a fridge for the room - clean facilities and rooms - towel, toothpaste/toothpaste and yukata were provided as well as shampoo and showergel - the common room was so cozy and nice, with tea and water always at the ready and a great view of the garden - i was satisfied with both the dinner and breakfast and the price was fairly cheap (~1200¥ or a bit more, depending on your choices) - PRIVATE ONSEN that you can book for around 50minutes at night and can use in the morning if nobody else is already using it (costs around 150¥ per use) - there is a shuttle bus going at pretty regular times in the morning. They offer a ride to both Gora-Station or Hakone-Open-Air-Museum! 🩸CONS - far from the city-centre/train station 🌱 i really enjoyed my stay. I had cool roomies that became travel companions and absolutely loved the inn, the onsen, the food and the kind staff! Definitely a recommendation if you ever decide to stay in Hakone - i would book again!

A good clean and cozy hostel to stay in Yokohama Chinatown area. Owner is helpful and friendly..Speak a little Chinese but that's OK. Fluent in English matters more. Not advisable to bring big luggage here as for most cases of hostel stay in Japan.

この様なタイプは、初めてでしたが段々とよくなりました。 ただ階段が、足には大変でした 疲れて爆睡しました。

Easy located near a train station and with minutes to a convenience store and the historical buildings. Roims are a bit studded with too many people and single glass to the living room and you can hear everyone they say in there if you are trying to sleep. Convenient and cheap spot. Not all Catherine can be used at night

It's right on the edge of Enoshima. What more could you ask for? It's truly impressive. The check-in environment is uniquely decorated. Check-in is done via tablet, requiring a passport photo and a video confirmation. Staff will assist, speaking English. One room sleeps 10, has Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a small balcony for drying clothes, but no washing machine. There are two bathrooms downstairs, and towels and toiletries can be rented at the front desk. The bed is thin, but not bad. You need to make it yourself. It's a two-minute walk to Keikyu and a ten-minute walk to Enoshima. You can rent a bicycle for 1,000 yen, or use Alipay to scan and charge your bicycle. There are plenty of convenience stores nearby, and the room has a trash can. In short, it's right on the edge of the scenic area. For the price, it's worth staying here.
