Yokohama Tokyu REI Hotel

Located a couple hundred meters from the first metro station after Yokohama train station in an upscale neighborhood of the business district, Yokohama Tokyo REI Hotel boasts the most welcoming, considerate and polite staff you can ever expect, sleek and modern facilities, a Japanese and Western breakfast buffet worth the fee and super comfortable beds and pillows waiting for you after a long day trip. The room is impeccably clean, with free, high-quality toiletries hidden in a box above the toilet, in addition to shampoo, conditioner and body wash better than in any other hotel I've ever stayed before, including 5-star hotels. The guests mostly consist of professionals attending conferences, so you can expect a quiet, polite and respectful environment. In the reviews, some guests complain about the lack of international channels, but we could not have cared less. In Tokyo, we walked more than 20Km/day, on average, without even realizing it while sightseeing, so at the end of the day, all we wanted was to go back to our room at Yokohama Tokyo REI Hotel, with a large bathtub and a super comfy bed. We selected this hotel for its breakfast buffet and location close to Yokohama train station, which is a perfect choice for travellers planning day trips to Kumadera, Hakone and Most Fuji, in addition to Tokyo highlights, like Ueno park. Yokohama train station has numerous restaurants with delicious food at good prices, and almost very destination was less than 1-h away by train. Above all, I will always remember the kind and helpful staff, meriting 10/10 any day of the week.

Location for transit wise is pretty good, it’s a 12 mins walking distance away from Yokohama station (850m I just walk slow), and a few minutes walking distance away from Shin-Takashima station. Room is clean and comfy, it has everything you need, and it’s slightly bigger than the normal room you will get with the same price.

The service: This is our first visit to Japan and being vegetarians (no meat, no fish, no eggs), they prepared a different, yet delicious breakfast for us for all 7 days of our stay The location: We could explore both central Tokyo as well as Yokohama with much ease - the various lines were very near Intend visiting Yokohama for the Green Expo in ‘27 and Yokohama REI would be the stay choice

Super comfortable stay, did 7 days here (under 2 bookings - they were nice and let me stay in the same room) and could have stayed longer if it had laundry. You're probably wondering about how far away it is from main attractions - check walking distances on Google Maps to see if it's doable for you, I walked to Chinatown but caught the train back, lots to see on the way. There are really good malls, bookshops, and cafes all within walking distance (7-9mins) e.g. Tsutaya, Mark is Mirai etc. I didn't find the fully step free way to Yokohama station, but just a 1 level climb up some stairs from the street, then everything was escalator. I'm sure there is a way (I didn't want to go through Nissan with the suitcase, but you could probably go 'down' a few less stairs then up their internal escalator (it's a showroom, so people walk through anyway).

Good location. It’s relatively easy to get to the hotel and just one stop off of Yokohama station. Facilities were very nice and clean. Workers went out of their way to call and ask for some information concerning a place we’re wanted to visit but was likely to be closed. They explained they assumed it would be closed but they wanted to contact the place just to confirm. I appreciated that. Family liked the in-room coffee machines.
