Kario Kamata

"This was the first night I've ever spend in Japan. Even tho the rooms are quite small, but I felt like home. Somewhere where nothing was disturbing me. Its a quite place away from the city, and it's really close to the subway station. The rooms are very new and morden. It's super clean and quite. Awesome place, will stay again."

"This place is cheap for a group of 4 people. The rooms are different depending on which side of the building you get, but it still is comfortable and beautiful. The design and interior is what got me interested while I was looking for hotels. It really is modern and chic. Minimalistic and stylish. A beautiful place.\nWe got the room for 4 people and there's two stories to the apartment room. The 1st is where the toilet, kitchen, washing machine and dining table are, and the basement is where your beds are. It's an apartment style of accommodation, so there's no room service available. But you get the privacy and freedom of living on your own.\nI did mention there's a washing machine in your bathroom, and you can dry your clothes in the shower room. There's a setting on the keypad for drying clothes and it definitely works. Hot and crispy clothes waiting for you the next morning.\nThe kitchen is fully stocked with kitchenware, so you could even cook there if you're cutting down on food expenses. Just buy at the grocery store and cook. We did.\nBut the check in for this place is a bit different than other places. You have to head to Keikyu EX Inn Kamata. Find Burger King, diagonally facing Family Mart. Walk along that road until the end of the block. The pedestrian walkway on both sides of the street should be covered. That should be your clue. It's not really that far. Once you're there, you can see the sign Keikyu EX Inn Kamata, but the reception desk is on the 4th floor (it says 3rd outside, but in the elevator it says 4th). I think this building is an office, and they share it with other businesses. And if you find yourself checking in after 12 AM like we did, there's an intercom right next to the main entrance. They will unlock the door, and you can go up.\nDuring check in, what we did as a group is, we went to the apartment first with our bags and luggage. Then, two of us went to check in while the others waited with our things. I think if you're with a group, that's how you should do it. We did the same when checking out.\nOnce you're familiar with the Kamata area, it's really just a quaint small town. The road from Burger King and Family Mart is also where most food shops are located. So I'd say you'd be spending most nights along this road for dinner. This road also leads to the JR Kamata Station. And with the covered walkway and food shops along the entire length of the road, I'd say this is probably the main thoroughfare of this town.\nThe apartment itself is in a more quiet part of town. Less people going through. There's residential apartments as well located in front the hotel block, and a park behind the hotel. It's more like a residential community. Staying here, you really feel like you're a part of this town. Not just a tourist. And I was very much in love with that feeling.\n\nBeautiful place. Highly recommend it!"

"You have to check in at a different location on the opposite side of the train station. So you have to drag your luggage to TWO locations. The place afterwards os 15 minutes walking from the check-in. Then kario kamata is a traveler apartment so there is NO room service. You have to wash your own linens and towels. Ask for toiletries at check-in unless you want to hike back 15 minutes to get them. Nice 1 futon (does not recline) and bed with some mattress like pads in closet that is suppose to be a third bed but it is not. So really good for friends or a couple traveling together but not for families. Said wheelchair accessible but ramp is too steep. Only 3 stars because located next to a train station and a 7/11."
