Tosei Hotel Cocone Kamakura

Amazing location, close to the train station and shopping district. I didn’t use the on-site onsen, but did go to one down on the beach to watch the sunset. Stunning. Room was well worth the price and staff was friendly and helpful. I speak zero Japanese and got by just fine.

Excellent property! Would stay again. Lovely staff, breakfast and onsen.

Room was fairly clean and close to transit. Great location for various day trips.

The room was clean, and the hotel offers amenities such as toiletries and free coffee and cocoa in the lobby. The onsen is quite nice. Great location! The breakfast option was fully booked so request early if you want to eat breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

This was one of the most disappointing hotels out of the hundreds of hotels I've stayed at all over Japan. First of all, not much choice around Kamakura so this hotel still gets a lot of business. It wasn't a terrible stay but definitely is not up to the Japanese standard. We stayed in a tatami room and the tatami panels were very dirty and stained. Rooms were very small even compared to other small hotels I've been at. The first floor sento smelled of mould as soon as the door opened, and sure enough as I was soaking in the bath, I look up and see black mould on the ceiling. I left quickly after that.

Staff was the best! I was struggling getting my suitcase in time and they were so helpful and helped me have a safe trip back! I am so so grateful! I hope to one day go back and thank them in person!

The room was beautiful. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The public bath is very relaxing. The hotel provides samue (traditional Japanese unisex pants and top that can be worn to and from your room to the bath. They provide instructions in English for people who want to try it out, but don't know the public bath etiquette. There's a restaurant just down the street called Onari yoko-cho. The food is amazing! They have vegan options for ramen and sushi. The owners speak English fluently, one also speaks Spanish (and Japanese, of course!) Highly recommend voth this hotel and this restaurant.

Staff excellent, everyone so helpful and kind! The location was great because it was right by the station and easy to get around, On our last day “Jose” went out of his way to help us get a taxi too. We definitely recommend this Hotel!

We expected more from this hotel. Our room was dirty, the staff was not friendly and we had difficulty storing bags for the day we checked out to explore the town. It was still a good stay, but for the price we had expected much better service and hospitality from the hotel.

Excellent location. Great staff.

This was a beautiful little place to stay. Staff were excellent. Shopping was right out the doorway and close proximity to restaurants. Parking was a bit tricky. You have to pay 1900 yen per day for parking and it’s about a block away from the hotel in a parking lot by a little yellow house. Room was spacious and quiet.

Lovely clean rooms. Lots of amenities

room was dirty, overall not worth the money

Very nice hotel with great services and at the great location

Great stay!

Pros- Hotel staff were nice. Convenient walk to everything. 20min to the beach, 5-10min to shops. Loved the pajamas. I’m actually very sad I forgot to purchase them before leaving :(( Public bath was nice to have even if no minerals. Laundry was fast. Free coffee and tea available in lobby. Amenity goodies pretty standard, but fully available. I had a family room but was a solo traveler (the only room available at the time of booking) and had soooo much space. It was great. Fridge, water bottles, tea available in room. Cons- The pillows were hard. Bed was more firm. But unsure if it was bc I had bunk beds? Can’t speak about full sized beds. Room didn’t smell, but the bathroom had mildew smell. I honestly kept the AC on just to ventilate it, but since it’s powered by your room key, I could always smell it when I got back into the room. I just shut the bathroom door, and showered in the public bath. Very little counter space, but again, I didn’t use the bathroom unless I was washing my hands or brushing my teeth. I probably should have requested another room but I didn’t feel like complaining, and I just used the public bath anyway. My room came with a sofa bed, which was very comfy but it did have small stains on the slip cover. No smell though. I just laid a towel and blanket over it and sat on there. I assume since it’s a family room, it’s more susceptible to stains with kids. I saw hospitality cleaning one of the other rooms and I didnt see any couches in there.

Helpful staff and great breakfast.

Everything was wonderful!

We stayed under 2 separate reservations because we extended our stay but could not book the same room type. Staff was very helpful and understanding. Helped us baggage forwarding to Tokyo.

We were given a choice of Japanese or American breakfast. Both were amazing. We extended our stay one night and had to change rooms. They held our luggage during the day, and allowed us to check back in early as our new room was ready. The hotels is a very short walk from Kamakura Station making it very convenient for using the train and local buses. It was very nice to have an on-site public bath with security for women guests. A nice surprise was their late night snack of miso and onigiri. The staff were extremely courteous and welcoming. It is also great that you are given the option of room cleaning or just getting fresh towels and pjs to save the planet.
