Yokohama Heiwa Plaza Hotel — Hotel in Yokohama

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...

This is a very basic hotel - clean, practical and much as we expected for the price. We stayed in a double room with an extra bed squeezed in (3 single beds in total) which meant most of the space was taken up by beds. Good job we didn't have much luggage as that would have been pushing it a bit.||The room itself was pretty well kept but it is obviously not a new hotel and there was a little 'wear and tear' here and there. We did have a few issues with the air conditioner as it wasn't working very well the first night due to the filters being dusty. After mentioning it to the front desk however, the filters were cleaned immaculately and it cooled the room down much better on the second night.||The toilet/shower is really tiny, reminding me of the toilets on the airplanes so be prepared for a bit of a tight squeeze. They were nice and clean though, with a nice strong shower - perfect after a sweaty day of sightseeing.||As in most Japanese hotels, the staff were very efficient and took care of us well. We actually checked in a little early and they were happy to take care of our bags while we explored Yokohama. ||So basically, the location is excellent for exploring the most popular areas, the hotel is reasonably priced and it suited our needs for a cheap and cheerful 2-night stay in one of the best...
