Hotels Near Katabira River in Yokohama

A beautiful hotel that's more or less right next to Shin-Yokohama station and within sight of Yokohama Arena. You can find a 7-11 on the ground floor, next to the elevators, while a direct link to the Prince PePe shopping center leads you to some eateries and a supermarket. It appears to be mostly frequented by business folk, at least when we visited in late November. Checking in was a smooth process with the friendly, English-speaking concierge. You'll want to grab some amenities such as washcloths, cotton pads, and shaving cream before taking the long elevator ride up to your room. We had a nice view overlooking the city seeing how we were past the 30th floor, though said view gets better once you head to the top for teppanyaki or the lovely lounge. Visit the latter at dusk to soak in the panoramic sight and count passing trains while you sip on house cocktails and savor their beef tagliata. Or maybe treat yourself to a dram of Hibiki 25 -- you deserve it. The double room is more business than leisure, though clean and comfortable enough to relax in after a long day out. There's a safe and a mini-fridge, as well as an air-conditioning remote mounted on the wall, and a room control panel by the bedside. There's also a table right by the TV that could pass as a work desk (with accompanying chair) if needed, though I much prefer the sofa by the windows so I can ruminate on my choices while at the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. I should also mention that the housekeeping staff are incredibly warm and friendly should you cross paths. It's these little things that make a stay enjoyable, you know? Excellent value and a definite return should Yokohama ever be on the itinerary again.

Nice view with a fair price. I was trying to confirm the location of the parking lots with the staff but the front desk of this hotel is located above the ground floor. Overall, it is a good hotel.

I booked for my brother and family. They enjoyed the beautiful view of Yokohama bay bridge. Good thing about trip is that it provides detailed information about the room before booking which is better than the hotel s official website or other online booking.

The hotel is conveniently located near Sakuragichō station. Room is bigger than expected. 👍 We didn't try the spa because they charge extra. Breakfast buffet was great, lots of different Japanese style options and even matcha ice cream 🍨😊

Excellent hotel, Great helpful staff. The only thing negative I can say , the room was very small, I'm sure they have bigger rooms, maybe I did not notice the room size when I booked. Breakfast was excellent, even though we were late after 9 AM which we did not realize that in Japan most of the places breakfast ends at 9AM, not like in USA 10AM The location is the best, right next to the River and walking distance to the Gondola the Ferris wheel. The view from the breakfast room is awesome, over looking all the gorgeous beauty. Enjoy Yokohama. I loved this City.

Hotel was about a five minute walk from the train station. Hotel staff were extremely attentive and helpful at check in. Lobby was semi-spacious with some amenities and toiletries offered. Room was clean and larger than most Japanese hotel rooms. Only downside I would say is the hotel’s proximity to the railroad tracks…you do occasionally hear the trains as they pass. Not overbearing; however, you do hear them. With that being said, I would still stay at this hotel again.

Location and price are the reasons you should consider this hotel. Location is so convenient. A little walk to Kannai's ghetto, a little walk to Minato Mirai (ferris wheel, mall, cup noodle museum, etc), a short train trip to Yokohama, you are in the middle of all the business lunch specials. There's so much great food choices. My gosh, please look up lunch specials in the area. Generally, look for lines at 12pm. Those are the places that offer unbelievable value. We're talking a kaisendon for 600 yen ($5.50). If you are here long term and want to stay fit, you are a block away from Gold's Gym. They offer 2 weeks for 7000 yen, etc. Hotel is on the older side. It's a business hotel after all. It's small, you'll get your rest, you can work, you can shower, go down early for their breakfast special. The mattress was the rolling mattress which squeaks a lot (yes, it squeaks a lot). I was able to hear the neighbors, but sound machine did the job. Tip - They will offer to give you a water bottle for not cleaning your room. I don't want them in my room anyways so it was free water. They want you to hand them the keys before leaving. When you come back, you just say your room number, but this made me feel very uncomfortable. Anyone dressed normally can ask for a room key. The charger didn't work. This goes for most business hotels, but it's small. I hate the bathrooms that feel like you went inside a box. Workers were always friendly and professional. This place also seems to operate as a love hotel. There's a sign in the back that says they welcome ”puchi rest” which they charge you to stay for 3 hours for 2 people.

Good hotel, very friendly staff at the reception and the staff of the washroom. Very clean hotel and not too expensive. The only less point is its AC rooms (central A-C) but the temperature is not very hot to set. Window can not open.

Excellent chain hotel. Stayed in a family triple room (3 small beds) for two nights on weekdays in April 2024. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable; two of the small windows were widened, about 120 cm, and the other small bed was slightly smaller, about 90 cm wide. The windows can be opened to let in fresh air from the outside; there are ventilation holes above the windows. If the windows are not opened, the ventilation holes can be opened to let the air circulate. It is really a great design. There are toothbrushes and toothpaste in the room, and other supplies (pajamas, combs, etc.) need to be taken from the supplies cabinet next to the counter on the first floor. The guest rooms are located on the 3rd to 14th floors; the hotel's official website and elevator notices emphasize that all guest rooms are non-smoking, which makes non-smoking guests feel at ease. The counter staff can communicate in English, their attitude is friendly, and their explanations are detailed, which is worthy of praise. Guests can enjoy the self-service beverage bar next to the lobby on the second floor for free, including coffee, black tea and sencha tea bags. Breakfast is a self-service Buffet with ordinary dishes. There are two kinds of fruits in the salad area and two kinds of freshly made juices. The breakfast dishes have changed a bit for two consecutive days. The dining area for taking meals is not big and there are many people diners, which makes it a bit crowded. After finishing the meal , the tableware needs to be carried to the recycling place by yourself.
