    The room is very small for 3 people (2 adults and 1 toddler) but I guess that's the Japanese hotel standard. We only stayed for 1 night so it was still bearable, but I wouldn't recommend it for families. It's more suitable for solo travelers orc couples.

    Prime location, only 5-10 minutes from Fujisawa Station. Surrounded by restaurants, fast food chains, convenience stores, and Don Quixote. Seven Eleven is right under the hotel. Helpful and friendly staffs. Amenities such as night gowns, hair brushes, teeth brushes are provided in the lobby.

    Great Location to Stay if Visiting Enoshima or Kamakura

    As other people have stated, and I agree, the Breakfast had a good selection of both Japanese and Western foods. Great that there was a 7/11 convenience open 24/7 on the ground floor, as well as a Family restaurant on the 2nd floor that proofed to be beneficial for the evenings/lunch time that we were too tired to go far to find food. The EnoDen (Enoshima Electric Train) station was so close and fun to ride to Enoshima or Kamakura and everything else between. A great place to stay considering the price and location.

    Breakfast was not great. Because of hotel location it was surrounded by food outlets of various kinds, so great choice available within metres of the hotel Hotel restaurant on level 2 was underwhelming. Sooo handy to train station.

    Clean, reasonable size, great location

    The staff especially the guy on Friday 1 march night shift should be more accommodating. Yes I did loose the hotel card key, I am always willing to pay for the lost card but he just start showing his unhappy face and putting the cashier roughly into the drawer like he is throwing the box in.

    Location is great, about 5 mins from Fujisawa station. There is a lot of food around the hotel. There is a 7-11 connecting to the hotel, you just need to get to level 1 and there is a door to 7-11

    The checkout time was a bit too early. Nearly no allowance for late check out.

    The location was excellent. It was just 5 mins away from Fujisawa station. Everything was clean and tidy, except the space of the room was a bit small but more than acceptable. Good breakfast choice.

    A lot of the amenities were only available near the front desk, instead of inside the room. It felt a bit awkward to pick things up and then go back to our rooms.

    The hotel was just what we needed - a convenient location close to the train station for one night. We were between day trips and location was the biggest factor in our hotel choice. We also really liked how spacious our room was.

    Best hotel for the price I paid

    I really shouldn't complain that the rooms were small because that's the case in almost all 3 star hotels in Japan. Very limited amenities kept at the reception for you to select from, they could keep some more like mouth wash and loofah. The water pressure in the wash basin tap was a little low however the shower pressure was too high.

    Went in a summer weekday so room was heavily discounted. Room had all the basics for a 1 night stay. Very friendly staff who agreed to keep my baggage for free well before the check in time. Combini on 1F and Gusto on 2F was really convenient.

    A bit small, but enough if you travel. It would be nice to have the restaurant open during the day so that people can serve their bento box on a proper table. Otherwise all was very good.

    Great budget option for a short stay to explore the Kamakura area

    Nothing

    I was lucky to be put on one of the top floors, so I got to see Mt. Fuji which was great. Given the location, it also helped that no noise from the streets came up to the room and it was rather quiet. The room was on the smaller side, but since I did not spend much time in the room it was fine for 2 nights. Bathtub is spacious and the room had all the necessary amenities for a short stay. Easy to reach from Fujisawa station (JR line, connecting back to Tokyo without having to change). Bit more of a trek when wanting to explore Kamakura, but there are bus stops close by that take you into that direction. On one of the days, it was raining heavily, and the hotel staff was so nice to lend me an umbrella for the day (I think they were more surprised I actually returned it at the end after check out).
