Hotel Route Inn Yokohama Bashamichi — Hotel in Yokohama

Even if the room was small, there was everything, you need - all in the bath, like shampoo, conditionaire, soap, toothbrush and toothpase, comb, slippers. Suprising was the japanese home dress - some people did wear it in the morning at the breakfast. You have a hair dryer and water cooker, incl. green tea and a fridge. I need not to mention the TV, where I did find for free just japanese programms, but they are very funny, even if you do not understand the language. You can buy some card with additionall programs. The breakfast is japanese - miso soup, noodles, fried things. You can create also some european style breakfast - they had buns and jam, sometimes joghurt. People in the reception speak basic English, but it was sufficient. I did borrow the adapater for the electricity socket in the reception as in my country we have another type. The bed is hard, as normal in Japan. As I know, you must look for hotels, which have softer beds. But I did not have problems to adapt on it. The only thing, which was not so good, was the orientation of the room - I did look directly in the wall of the next house. As I did spend minimum time in the room - just for sleeping, so I did not ask for changing the room. A very interesting experience was the bath in the top floor of the hotel. It is very hot, and makes you relaxed and sleepy. It is good to study before, how japanese take the bath. But if you have tatoos, forget it, because tatoos must be covered in many places in Japan (beach, some restaurants) and you are not allowed to take the bath with tatoos. ||From the hotel you can walk to the attractions of Yokohama harbour or to the...

This hotel is quite unassuming on the inside and it takes a while for a tired traveller to find the reception. Inside the entrance door the place looks deserted.It is on the second floor where you can check in. But once you did this, it's smiles all the way. The room is small (everything is small in Japan) but very clean and quiet, with ample space for two people. The beds are very comfortable, the aircon works perfectly and there were plenty of shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste etc. in the bathroom.Staff - spoke very limited English - are friendly and willing to help with anything you want. The best part is the breakfast: it is an "all you can eat" affair with beautiful Japanese food - and plenty of it. The variety of dishes makes this a very interesting and satisfying event! The hotel is positioned in Bashamichi, an elegant, well kept downtown-like area of Yokohama. It is surprisingly quiet and not crowded at all, with beautiful old (and new) buildings, shops of all kinds and well dressed, polite street vendors selling clothing, food and all kinds of trinkets. We enjoyed...

Location is great. Get off on Bashamichi Station Exit 5 and it's right there. Literally 30 secs from the moment you reach ground level.||||There is my favorite Ootoya right downstairs. I hate the closest convenience store "Daily Yamazaki." They always have a smoke party right outside the door that you can smell in the store. If you plan to stay for a long time, there's a Gold's Gym within 30 seconds too.||||I simply can't recommend this hotel because I was unable to sleep well. The bed was rock hard and the room/hotel had a funky smell.||||The room is older. Torn wall papers, there was a plate that opens to the outside and that plate was broken. I can hear drunk gatherings even with the windows closed.||||The room is relatively larger by a tad bit in the price range compared to APA.||||If you choose to not have your room cleaned, they will reward you with either a drink or Ponta 200 Points scratch card.||||I would recommend APA Yokohama Bay Resort which is a tad bit more walk, but it's a lot newer and refined for the same price. The only downside is the...
