Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Totsuka

Not a high frills hotel. Small & cozy. Best for location - access to transportation and local shopping

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was very clean and comfortable and a 2-3 minute walk to the train station. There was a convenience store and many restaurants and shops in a nice multistory building right next to the hotel too. The security of the hotel was good as well, because you needed to use your room key card to enter the hotel's front door late at night and to use the elevator. Japan is pretty safe but the added security was appreciated. The people at the front desk were nice and friendly and understood English. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again the next time I am in Yokohama. Recommended.

We've stayed here a number of times while visiting relatives in the area. The hotel is located near the Totsuka JR station, with frequent connections to Tokyo and Yokohama in one direction, and Ofuna and Kamakura in the other. It is next to a small shopping mall with pretty much anything you need, including a Starbucks. The rooms are reasonably large for a hotel in Japan, and the nonsmoking ones seem to be truly nonsmoking (I.e., don't smell of stale smoke). Breakfast OK, skews toward Japanese style, though there are rolls, yogurt, and coffee. Not a lot of variety, and no fruit. An assortment of free amenities. Rooms are clean and quiet, bathroom tiny but adequate. Overall a good deal.

Right at train station

Stayed here for 9 nights and loved it! The rooms are small (typical for Japanese hotels), but very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the bathroom and beds are great. The staff couldn't be nicer and more accommodating, from keeping our extra luggage while we were away for three days and having it already in our new room upon our return, to lending us an iron and ironing board, to speaking excellent English, to being totally kind and welcoming all the time. The location is fantastic--right next to the Totsuka train station (which is a well-connected transportation hub, including a stop for the Narita Express so you can go directly to the airport) and next to two malls, with ample shopping and restaurants. The outside looks much better in person than in pictures; we were pleasantly surprised and completely satisfied. We felt very at home here and would happily stay there again!
