My husband & I spent 8 wonderful nights at this hotel in Yokohama, Japan prior to boarding our cruise ship which was leaving from Diakoku Pier. I rarely have given the highest rating in my hundreds of reviews however, our stay not only surpassed our expectations but also made our visit memorable in so many ways. The hotel is part of a chain so if you wish to be well located to the harbour, the metro at your doorstep, beautiful surrounding streets filled with trees & flower boxes, so many restaurants, cafes & convenience stores, this Bashamichi is the location to be. We arrived at Haneda airport and took the Airport Limousine Bus which dropped us within a 5 minute walk to the hotel. The hotel is exceptional clean and we enjoyed a very comfortable room which offered a deep bath as well as shower, large bed & large screen TV. The room was well layed out with a 2.5 seater lounge, ottoman & table, a bar fridge & kettle. The body wash, shampoo & conditioner were of great quality and supplies of tea, coffee and numerous toiletries are available for self selection on Level 2 opposite Reception. There is also a laundry room if needed. We would highly recommend the breakfast option served in the dining room where you are warmly greeted every morning. There are delicious Japanese dishes and western choices. The food is so fresh and well presented and offers great value. In particular, it is the exceptional staff who made our stay so memorable. Every staff member was welcoming, friendly, helpful and prepared to go above & beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. They contributed to making memories that we will take with us and share with others. Rarely do you find every aspect of an experience just perfect & without fault. Sotetsu Fresa Inn offers just that and we highly recommend you considering this hotel when planning your trip to Yohahama. For directions, if arriving by the Airport Limo Bus, look for Jonathan's Cafe & Restaurant at the intersection and head that way. Walk past it on your left and follow the path around the corner to find the entrance to the hotel. It is also located next to Bashamichi Metro Station. Take Exit 3 and it's approx 20 meters to the front door.

“Very nice hotel and conveniently located”

My family stayed 4 days in this hotel prior to our cruise. We picked this hotel as it was close to cruise terminal and subway station, and reasonably priced!

My family stayed 4 days in this hotel prior to our cruise. We picked this hotel as it was close to cruise terminal and subway station, and reasonably priced! From Narita airport, we took YCAT bus, got off at Royal park hotel, then we reached the hotel after a relaxing walk (less than 10 min)! The hotel is right next to Bashamichi Station exit 3. If you need to carry your luggage, better use elevator on exit 5 to reach ground level and then walk back. During our stay, we only used Bashamichi Station to go to wherever we wanted to go and it was very convenient. Main entrance may be a bit confusing, just keep in mind reception is on 2nd floor. Once you are in, just go straight to the elevator to 2nd floor. Staffs were very friendly and eager to help. Some are fluent in English. But in general, it would be better to have Google translate ready. Help them understand your need and they can help you better! The room was nice and clean. Not big, but OK for my family of three. The only thing that was really challenging was lack of space to hang clothes. And not many hangers. Bathroom size was ok, but could be very humid after shower. We made sure air conditioning was on and that took care of the humidity. We had breakfast in hotel every day during our stay. Breakfast area was right next to reception at 2nd floor. The gentleman who collected our breakfast voucher at the entrance was very friendly. He was very eager to help when need to. And always tried his best to keep the area clean. About the food, there was not much difference from one day to another. At the end, we got the Japanese style food we wanted, we got a warm friendly greeting every day, so we were very satisfied! The hotel is not in the middle of a busy downtown area, so it is not surrounded by a bunch of restaurants. For breakfast, the bakery inside Bashamichi Station exit 3 could be a good option too. Also Jonathan's cafe and restaurant is nearby exit 5. Walking south along Bashamichi Street, there were more restaurants too. The hotel was very close to attractions nearby. Red brick warehouse, World Porters, China town, etc. We were thinking taking taxi to cruise terminal at the beginning. At the end, we decided to walk as we realized it was not as far as we thought, even with luggage. On-site laundry was also another great feature of this hotel. We used that to get ourselves ready to our cruise. And there were two Lawson stores nearby for anything you many need. Basically we enjoyed our stay in Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Sakuragicho. If we visit Yokohama again we will definitely stay in this hotel again, highly recommended!

“Great hotel to stay before your cruise”

This hotel was a great choice to stay prior to a cruise. The price was excellent for what you get. Because I booked far ahead, I was able to secure one of their larger rooms. Clean and comfortable.

This hotel was a great choice to stay prior to a cruise. The price was excellent for what you get. Because I booked far ahead, I was able to secure one of their larger rooms. Clean and comfortable. The hotel is very close to the Minatomirai line and a short walk to the Sakuragicho station for the JR line. Their breakfast buffet was pretty decent. We also used their laundry facilities prior to our cruise.
