Hotels near Shonan Daira Observatory

"The staff here was very inflexible. Too many rules that aren’t communicated ahead of time. We expected to be able to have dinner at the hotel and were told they couldn’t accommodate us. Do not plan to arrive before 3pm as your room won’t be ready and you can not use any of the facilities. We were forced to wander the little town in the pouring rain. It was a lot to get out to this resort for one day. We would skip it next time and go straight to Kyoto "

"Location was great for exploring Gora. Approx halfway between gora station and open air museum. 5min walk. Breakfast was pretty good, mostly eastern - only a few western options. Dinner was really great for included meal. Mostly eastern options. Recommend using cable car to get up hill and then walk down the hill again. Only issues were the room was warm and couldnt lower air con below 22 and beds were very hard."

"I wish we booked more than one night. It was truly a relaxing experience that was unforgettable "

"The nicest hotel we have ever stayed at. Beautiful, amazing services and amenities."

"Very nice"

"What a treat it was to stay in this accommodation near the end of our trip through Japan. It was a great place to relax and made accessing Hakone's attractions very easy. Wish we could have stayed for more nights! We were disappointed that more coffee pods were not provided by the host for the advertised in-room coffee maker (rare in Japan) - only three for our multiple night stay with two adults. Trekking up and down from the 7-eleven with to-go cups wasn't ideal. That said, the room amenities and complimentary snacks/beverages were appreciated. "

"Clean room, convenient location. Excellent and friendly staff. Decent breakfast buffet but somewhat limited selection. Good location for exploring Kamakura from."
