Pleasant hotel

This was a great hotel for our first few nights getting acquainted with Japan. Yokohama is not as crowded as Tokyo. The hotel is at a great location. Just a few short blocks from China Town, Yamashita Park on the waterfront is across the street, and also close to other attractions. Our room was clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the Marina Tower. We did try breakfast one morning at the hotel, but for the price we didn't find it that good. Plenty of places nearby to get breakfast and a good cup of espresso. Overall, we liked our stay and it was very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area.
Great hotel

We stayed there 2 days before boarding our cruise ship. The service in this hotel is excellent in all departments. We had a room facing the water and the park, really beautiful. The hotel is about 1 km from the piers where the cruise ships arrive and depart which made it ideal for us.
Grand old hotel and terrific staff

Super hotel. Terrific location. Great staff. Classic 1927 hotel with quality in all aspects. Room was bay view with large expansive windows, sitting area, comfortable bed. Lots of space. Large bathroom. Easy transportation right outside the hotel. Airport limousine bus stops across small street from front entry. Bus to Yokohama Station also at this stop. Across the tree-lined street is Yamashito Park which is lovely for a bayside stroll. Chinatown is a very short walk. I would definitely stay here again.
Very nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff

This is one of the nice hotels which provide spacious rooms and high standard of service that I encounter in Japan. The location is great as it locates near various tourist spots. Everything in the hotel keeps neat and tidy. The staff are always ready to help and friendly. I appreciate that the hotel set up a little gallery on G/F to demonstrate its long history and the exhibits are worth viewing! We enjoy our stay here:)
A treat
