Yokohama Sakuragicho Washington Hotel

Great location close to the JR station and a short walk to shops, restaurants and all the attractions on the waterfront. Good sized rooms with efficent aircon. Will stay again

I would have liked to be able to pay a fee for early check in. Check in time was 2:00PM, Iwanted to pay a fee to check in at 12:00noon. I was ableto pay a feeto check out late at 2:00PM. It would have been niceto have room service.

The hotel room was crazy small. I stayed at two other hotels in Japan and they were both much bigger. The staff was nice and spoke English fairly well. They don't give you do not disturb door hangers. The location is really close to many restaurants and the Sakuragicho train station. Bring a ethernet cable and don't expect the free internet access to be that reliable.

First -- Even the double-rooms are SMALL compared to Western hotels... (Don't think 2 people in a double room for 2 people).Second - While this is a "Business Hotel" - Breakfast may be over-run by school groups (2-3 days of ~10 that I stayed total).Third (WARNING) - If you plan to stay early-Spring or late-Fall at the Yokohama Sakuragicho Washington Hotel -- be forewarned, when the hotel decides it is warm enough - it turns off the heat for the year, and if it is cold after that just ask for a stack of blankets. Likewise if there is a warm day before the hotel switches from Heat-to-AC - sorry, there isn't an option (including opening a window) to cool the room down.Fourth - (CAUTION) - The front desk does not exchange Traveler's Checks. They don't have any currency exchange - but there is a US$-Dollar -to- JPY-Yen exchange machine in the lobby - but expect to pay between 10-15% surcharge (about YEN-10 per dollar) using the machine. Better bet is 2nd floor of Yokohama Bay Sheraton (outside restaurant) where there is a Citibank US$-Dollar Debit machine 0.5% exchange fee.[...] (Breakfast was additional YEN-1,500 (about $17.75)Yokohama Sakuragicho Washington Hotel's location is only 2 minutes from JR Sakuragicho Station (Bay side - look for "Clock Ferris Wheel") - turn right, go up escalator to 2nd floor entrance (past Starbucks) and take elevator to 5th floor Lobby.The reason for rating Staff low - was lack of English understanding - They spoke English, but couldn't always answer the questions I asked...

Confortable hotel, good service and great location.

Very good location. The view, overlooking the harbour, is superb. For the size and service, the price is a bit steep.

Perfect location just next to Sakuragicho JR station so easy access from Narita Airport using JR Narita Express. Rooms are small but have all facilities you need and ask for a harbour view to see the Landmark Tower and Big Wheel which have a dazzling light show at night. Highly recommended for a one/two night stay.

We have lived & traveled in Japan for 3 years. During this time we have become accustomed to the great service that is typical at hotels throughout the country. Unfortunately, this was not the case at the Washington Hotel. We found the staff and manager to be overly rigid and unwilling to provide the standard level of Japanese service. Although conveniently located, the small room, poor service and lack of standard amenities do not justify the price.

It wasn't our first experience in Japanese hotels, which trend to run on the expensive side. The location was perfect for us, within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and efficient. Just don't expect a lot of walking space in the room, it's more like standing space!

部屋はきれいですけど、ちょっと狭く感じました。シャワーの温度の調節がちょっと難しかったです。
