Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Totsuka

Right next to the subway station, so no worries about getting wet if it rains and you don't have an umbrella; you can directly access it from there. The surrounding area has plenty of convenient dining and amenities, and transportation is great. They even let me check in half an hour early!

The room is quite spacious, and the hotel offers various convenient amenities. The location is excellent, right by the JR line entrance.

I booked this hotel because the price was quite reasonable, and overall, it offers good value for money. The hotel is actually located right above Totsuka Station, almost feeling like it's directly connected. However, finding the entrance can be a bit tricky for first-timers. If you follow navigation, it'll lead you to a small door next to the Tsuruha Drugstore on the first floor, which is easy to miss, so pay attention. Downstairs, there's a drugstore and Sushiro, making dining and shopping very convenient. There are also malls and supermarkets nearby for browsing. I tend to wake up late, so going down around 11 AM was perfect to eat at Sushiro without a queue. I left a note before checking in, and the hotel staff paid attention and arranged the room as requested, which I really appreciated. The room itself was pretty standard, a typical Japanese business hotel style, but perfectly adequate for one person. If your main purpose is to explore Yokohama and its surroundings, staying here is quite convenient. However, it's a bit far from central Tokyo, so if you plan on commuting to Tokyo's core areas daily, it might be a bit of a trek.

The room was clean and the hotel staff were very friendly. It was raining that day, and a male staff member proactively offered us towels to wipe the rain off our luggage. A female staff member (Saito) spoke excellent English and provided service with a smile. We forgot our charger, and the hotel provided one for free, which we just had to return upon checkout. When I went to the front desk in the middle of our stay to borrow an ice pack for an external application, the staff were also very friendly.

The air conditioning in our room was super loud at night, and we could constantly hear water running from other rooms. I've never stayed in a room with such terrible soundproofing. We won't be coming back.

Facilities: The hotel's design is very smart and has everything you need – excellent. Hygiene: It's very clean, especially since it's newly opened. As someone who pays close attention to hygiene details, I'm very satisfied. Environment: It's a very quiet hotel. Even though it's located near a train station, it's not noisy at all. The room privacy is also very good. Service: The front desk staff are very welcoming. Even with just simple Chinese, I had no complaints during my stay at this hotel.

The room was very clean and spacious enough for one person. The location is excellent, with Totsuka Station about a 10-15 minute train ride from Yokohama Station. There's also a convenience store right next door. I especially want to thank the front desk staff; on the day I was checking out, I realized I'd lost my passport, and they were incredibly helpful, calling the lost and found at the department store for me. It was a great stay overall!
