Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Sakuragicho

Although this chain hotel is more expensive than others in similar range, 2 things clearly stand out when we stayed here from 07 - 10 March 2026. 1. Location is ideal since this hotel is located right at the doorstep of Bashamichi Station. 2. Hotel staff is super friendly and helpful. They even got us two extra pillows we requested. Housekeeping staff also do not collect tips which is rather unique. Hotel guests can also pick up bath salts, face mask and toiletries from the Level 2 check-in counter. The only issue we had was booking a last remaining room which happened to be a smoking room. The hotel staff is so kind to help provide an air purifier in our room to neutralize the smell before we checked in. The room is cozy and well equipped. There are also a number of Lawson and 7-11 stores in the vicinity should one need a quick meal fix in the middle of the night. For those lugging heavy luggage - climbing up the stairs from Exit 3 leading directly to the hotel may be a tall order. Using the escalator from Exit 5 and crossing then crossing back from the road may be less exhausting. All in all, we had a lovely stay in this hotel premise. Highly recommended!

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.

Best of all, the location is good. The entrance to Bashamichi Station is right there. If you walk a little further, you'll find a red brick warehouse, a convenience store nearby and nothing to say. The room was clean and comfortable.
