Top Kamakura Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Yokohama Grand by IHG

8/10 Good

"The parking valet, location, and view was excellent. The breakfast buffet was also excellent. The front desk staff was not particularly helpful. Both nights of my stay, my room key did not work. It took a while to resolve and I had blisters the second night from walking so much, making it extra annoying. They forgot I was staying a second night and forgot to warn me that the streets would be closed when I arrived."

Hotel JAL City Haneda Tokyo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, staff were helpful and free amenities was a nice touch"

Hotel New Grand

10/10 Excellent

"My second time staying at New Grand. They did not disappoint me. The staff were so professional with smiles. The hotel room is a traditional style which I like. It is a historic hotel with a beautiful lobby entrance. I would stay again!"
