Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Sakuragi-cho

I enjoyed my week long stay at Sotetsu Yokohama. Right at Basamichi station. Very convenient to Landmark Tower, Queens Towers, Mark s shopping. Near the Cosmo clock ferris wheel\roller coaster, cosmo play area, World Porters shopping, eating, games bulding. Plus the twin brick warehouses full of artisan stuff to buy ($$$). It was New Years, I spent the day at the nearby Bhuddist temple and Shinto shrine. All within a 20 to 25 minute walk from hotel. The walk along pier is scenic. Staff were very nice. Clean room, nice products. Plus they had coffee packets at front desk, along with a few fun beauty products. I love the waffle jammies.. pants and top. They met my request for room location very well.

The staff were very friendly, and made every effort to help us with all aspects of our trip. We got a small discount for the Yokohama air cabin. They also booked a taxi for my elderly grandparents. The hotel rooms don't come with excess amenities, but it is all available at reception so you can pick and choose what you want. I appreciated the efforts to reduce waste and be sustainable across the hotel.

The hotel is very conveniently located near the waterfront in Yokohama. The Bashamichi Station exit 3 is only a few metres away. It is a very pleasant walk to the Sakuragichō Station (assuming no luggage) / Landmark building and also the Red Brick warehouse. It is a short taxi ride to the Osanbashi Cruise terminal. The room was clean, comfortable and reasonably priced.

1. I like the location of this hotel as it was directly above the Bashamichi train station, so accessible with many tourist attractions nearby. 2. I booked 1 triple room and 2 twin rooms for my family of 7. The triple room was excellent as it was very spacious, with a toilet, a bathroom, and a make-up/ dressing room all separated. 3. I would rate the breakfast average. It could be better if more varieties were provided; for example, provide cut fruits or more choices of fruit juices other than apple juice only, as well as more varieties of bread/ cake.

The staff is very good, very receptive and I believe that this is standard in Japan, where people are very well educated in general. The breakfast is ok, but with few options for occidental people. The localization is very good in my opinion, not so busy but at same time close to good streets where you can find stores and restaurants. The room is a bit small if you are not alone but comportable in general.
