The view from this property was stunning! We had the room with a view of Enoshima and Mt Fuji. It was cloudy part of the time and so we couldn’t see much of the mountain, but on our last day the clouds lifted and the view was Amazing! It is also walkable to the beach and restaurants, and they have a shuttle to a bus stop and near a train station. The staff were very kind and really tried to understand our poor Japanese and English. This property was expensive, but we felt we got our money’s worth.

I really liked the Kamakura Prince hotel. Some may say it is dated, but I think it had a classic mid-century modern/art deco look which I thought was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. There are two restaurants: (i) a Japanese teppenyaki restaurant; and (ii) a "European" restaurant. I would not say that they are super gourmet, but I enjoyed my meals there. The European restaurant has huge windows looking out over the water with views of Mt. Fuji and it is phenomenal at sunset. I gave the hotel 5 stars because I really liked it, though it is not a true 5-star hotel like a Ritz Carlton, etc. Also, in case this matters, it is about a 10-15 minute taxi ride to the center of town. It is set outside of town in a nice area overlooking the water, but it is not in a walkable area, in case that matters.

Poor
Check in staff was inexperienced. I reminded him to check that the sofa bed should be set up as requested (I checked in at 9pm), he replied it’s done. Got the room, sofa bed not ready. Asked again, and had to move to another room. Air conditioning was a joke. Room was hot and stuffy. Asked for an electric fan but didn’t help much. The sofa bed is not suitable for sleeping. The springs worn out and could not provide support to the body. Literally you sink into the mattress. Sofa bed mattress should be dumped years ago. Unable to fall asleep so end up two adults had to squeeze into one single bed. Asked for a late check out, the price is ¥7000+ and the staff replied was impolite. Lounge chairs and umbrella by the pool normally supplied for free at most resorts but surprisingly there is a charge of ¥4000+ Plus, room was outdated and tired though it costs ¥33000+ per night.

The property is old and not well-maintained. The view from our room was beautiful, the Shichirigahama Beach and Enoshima. Besides that, the grounds were over grown and we looked directly into the pool and jacuzzi, closed at the time of our stay due to the season, but dirty with moss.

All rooms have views of the ocean, mount Fugi (weather permitting) and Enoshima island. Commuter train is only a 10 minute walk and it goes right into the heart of Kamakura, plus stops close to Enoshima - a must see. There is a small commercial area a very few minutes walk away with groceries, bakery, coffee shops, restaurants etc. we are walkers and a 1 hour walk got us to the centre of Kamakura, the Great Buddha, as well as Endoshima the other way. On site restaurant was very fancy and expensive and was only open for supper when we were there. Bed, linens, amenities all very nice.

Excellent view of Endoshi Island and each room has a huge window facing the sea. Only negative part is that hotel is on a hill, so we needed to walk halfway up before taking the elevator which brings us to the top of the hotel where the rooms are. There is a shuttle from the train station, which ends at 530pm, so do make sure you arrive befoee that. If you are walking, do take the coastal route. Do not follow Google maps to take the smaller roads through the houses as it is a tough route up slope.

Chic and comfortable
The building is a big old but it’s so chic and peaceful. All rooms looking down the swimming pool and the sea. We stayed for two days and enjoyed spending time in the swimming pool. They keep customers seat all day which is so convenient as we could pop out for lunch then come back. The pool’s closing time is 5 which is too early. Their staff were well trained and incredibly helpful. It’s totally worth paying the top price.

The property is a little older then what i am use to. The room furniture is older but comfortable. Pool closed between 4-5pm depending on season of the year. You will need to pay for using the Pool Chairs, but regular chairs are FREE. Pool and Jacuzzi is nice and we spent a lot of time in there. There is only 1 restaurant which is buffet style. A little pricey for the food quality but not bad, but not fantastic. But I only ate Breakfast which was about $28 a person and $8 for kids. Did not try lunch or dinner but the price is $48 for lunch and did not see the dinner price. They offer a shuttle service to the train station, but it is super close and you can just walk. Right near the station is also a 7 Eleven, so you can get anything you possible would need. You can take the train to a bigger station to find food like Kamakura or Enoshima.

Amazing location , just across the road from the sea. We had amazing views of mt fuji and enoshima island. This is a top end hotel with a nice room (western beds) a large bathroom and pleasant public spaces. The cafe was only open limited hours and there is no bar but this is normal for hotels in japan. We ate in the french themed restaurant which was good but not realy french food. (We live in France) Breakfast was excellent. Close to a station of the enoshima electric railway which made sight seeing very easy.. Staff very helpful especially the young lady on reception but very little english spoken

Nice Hotel but watch the pool hours!
This was a nice hotel. Room was very clean and pretty large for a Japanese hotel. That is the good part. The thing that turned me off was the pool. The pool closes at 4:00 in September and 5:00 in August. Are you kidding me. We specifically stayed here because it was close to the ocean and it had a pool to relax by for a few days. We toured Japan for a week and a half and we were looking for a place to spend a few days to relax. After walking the beach and seeing some sights we came back to the hotel at 3:40 and head to the pool. It was hot and I needed a swim and a beer!! The pool attendant nicely said the pool closes at 4:00 and if I wanted to sit in a nice reclining chair it would be 1000 yen. Not a lot of money. But seriously, first the pool closes and 4:00 (20 minutes after my arrival) and then I need to pay the full day rate (1000 yen) for a pool chair (for 20 minutes) . It pretty much soured me on the hotel. The topper is at 4:00 sharp (Japanese efficiency) they round everybody up, follow you out of the pool and lock it up. So I quickly finish my beer and rush out. I feel I'm being a little harsh. It was a nice hotel. But again, the reason we went there for 2 days was the pool and we spend a grand total of 20 minutes at the pool. The rule seems a bit ridiculous. I'm sure there is a reason but I can't figure out what it might be.
