TV box allows YouTube videos and the garden has lots outdoor equipments though we didn’t use any due to the weather. Room is spacious and the kitchen has large variety of small electrical appliances. We cooked over the two day stay and enjoyed the meals on the large dining room table. Though the railway is right in front of the house, there wasn’t a lot of trains passing by at night....

"I stayed in a double room and a single room .For the price it is okay-storage for luggage is under the bed.I find the bathroom very small as a 5’8 when sitting my knees nearly touch the door.Overall I found the single room to be slightly more spacier overall.Would stay here again because of the easy check in and out process.Especially the express check out which was very convenient for catching 5am trains to Narita airport.No complications."

"The staff were super friendly. I left my bags both before check in and after check out which freed me off to explore. Both check in and check out are done through a machine but I had a staff member helping me since most of the instructions were in Japanese. The room was small but clean and the bed was comfortable. Overall, a great place to stay if you’re looking at visiting Enoshima and Kamakura."

"This is my second stay at this hotel, and once again, it exceeded my expectations. I first stayed here in 2022 and had an excellent experience, which is why I chose to return. The location is perfect, with easy access to restaurants, entertainment, shopping, and public transportation. What truly sets this hotel apart is its outstanding staff. Everyone was friendly, professional, and eager to help. They even stored one of my suitcases while I traveled to another city, making my trip much more convenient and stress-free. The exceptional service, prime location, and overall hospitality make this one of the best hotels I have stayed at in Yokohama. I highly recommend it and look forward to staying here again on my next visit."
