Rembrandt Hotel Ebina

A couple of miles walk, then short train ride gets you from where the ferry docks on the western side of Tokyo Bay to Ebina a suburban centre south of central Tokyo. A stroll of around ten to fifteen minutes gets you to Rembrandt hotel, in which I had a clean and comfortable room in which to spend the night. The journey across the Bay was most enjoyable. Outside decks have seating and great views, whilst inside information, both written and illustrated, abounds. Of particular note is USA's Admiral Perry. You can pose having your photo taken besides a cut-out image of the man, and learn about his intimidating naval force cruising into the Bay in the nineteenth century, the spot where his foot first touched Japanese soil being a couple of hundred yards from where you disembark the vessel.

The location is excellent, surrounded by shopping malls, restaurants and convenient store all within a few minutes’ walking distance. The room and bathroom were spacious, providing a comfortable stay overall. However, the bed was quite small for a couple, which slightly affected comfort. During the winter season, the hotel operates on heating mode only, so the air conditioning cannot be used for cooling. While a fan is provided, it may not be sufficient for guests who prefer cooler room temperatures. There is also an open parking lot right next to the hotel, which is very convenient for guests who are driving.

Nice hotel very conveniently located for the train and all local shops/restaurants. Really helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. My only disappointment was that the WiFi was very poor in the particular room I was in.

staff good , food great, place ok, rest comfortably.
