JR-East Hotel Mets Yokohama Sakuragicho

Fantastic location as it’s right next to JR Sakuragicho station and great access without getting wet! Only JPY500 for wash and dry clothes without needing to worry about the detergent! It takes 2 hours so you can go back to the room or have breakfast! Rotation of Eco cleaning x2 and full cleaning x1 worked out well and very convenient for choosing your own amenities like shampoo, conditioner, cleansing gel, face wash, lotion and cream from the reception! Really enjoyed using Japanese style of bathroom! You can wash yourself while filling up the tub and use onsen powder to make a nice relaxing spa for your own. Breakfast was a nice spread of Japanese and western style. I only wished they had hard boiled eggs instead of onsen eggs that is very runny yolk… Only thing I found lacking in the room was the closet… There’s a hangers directly on the wall. As a woman, I prefer to cover my clothes when cleaning staff coming… Pretty small room but ok for a small bag traveller.

Great location, clean with pretty good facilities. The room was slightly bigger than typical Japanese business type hotels.

The location is great, just outside of Sakuragicho station and a short walk to shopping centres and the Minatomirai area. It is about an hour to Shibuya on the minatomirai line so a much cheaper option to stay here and do day trips to tokyo. I was followed from Sakuragicho station by a strange nampa/stalker but I am glad the hotel was so close to the station and I was able to escape. The amenities in the hotel are really good, I really liked the little trays of bath salts and the free tea in the reception area. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful with forwarding my luggage to kyoto. Their english is limited but they have a translating device. I love the bath in the room. It was nice to be able to run a bath with bath salts in the evening.

I stayed here for 5 nights. You cannot find a better place to stay in Yokohama: 1. The hotel is just beside the JR station. 2. It is very clean and comfortable. 3. All the tourist attractions are within walking distance. 4. A delicious and supurb breakfast in the nice restaurant on the first floor. 5. Access to all facilities, including free coffee, bath powders, tea bags, and toiletries. 6. Even more surprisingly, from my window, I can see the tallest tower and the Ferris wheel. I will definitely choose here next time I come to Yokohama.

The international breakfast was superb, with many different choices from traditional cuisine to other more "classical" dishes. My room was large compared to the average Japanese size, and I felt very comfortable in that space, very clean. I loved the bathroom, very traditional! The fact that the hotel is very close to Sakuragicho train station was certainly a plus for my brief visit!
