Experience of the stay
I have been interested in the luxurious interior of the outdoor pool and hot springs, and I had wanted to stay at this hotel for a long time. I will upload some details.
The hotel is well-located in front of the red brick warehouse and Porters World. It is easily accessible by train and has parking available for cars. The entrance is luxurious, which instantly lifts your spirits! There are numerous check-in counters, so there shouldn’t be a long wait during check-in. Near the check-in counter, newspapers are available for guests to take freely.
The bed was quite spacious; even with just one bed, it felt like there were two double beds placed side by side. Since it was my first time staying at an APA hotel, I was concerned about the firmness of the mattress, but it was thick and well-made, so I did not sink in when sitting down.
There were two bottles of water in the room, and it had a refrigerator. Instant coffee and tea are provided, but at first, I was unsure of where to find them since they were in a drawer that was not obvious. They are located in a drawer under the table. The cups provided were disposable paper cups, and there were similar cups in the bathroom.
There is a large bath on the fourth floor, so the bathroom in the room is quite small. For foreigners, it might be too tight for comfort. The bath and toilet are in a unit bath together, but overall it was clean, so there were no issues.
Towels (bath and face) and a brush were provided in the room, and if you want to use the bath on the fourth floor, you must bring your own towels.
There was also a restaurant inside, but since our plan did not include meals, we dined outside. A Family Mart is located on the same floor as the bath in the hotel, which offers a good selection of products. Many were shopping and purchasing meals there.
The bath is quite spacious, with several tubs available, and numerous lockers. However, since there were many guests, there were times when you had to wait in line to use the hair dryers. Cold drinking water is also available in the changing room.
In terms of indoor clothing, there is a yukata in the room.
The room had a view of the outside, and when I looked out the window, I saw the pool below. It looked stylish, and I definitely want to stay again in summer to utilize the pool. The pool has chairs and looks like a nice place to relax and feel a bit luxurious.
While it may not fully qualify as a true resort hotel regarding room size, considering its excellent location for sightseeing in Yokohama and convenience, I was very satisfied with my stay.
Regarding sightseeing, the red brick warehouse is right in front of you, and you can walk to Yamashita Park and Chinatown from the hotel in a short distance.
For checkout, it is easy; you just return the card keys to the box, rather than through a counter.
This time, since I stayed at this hotel for sightseeing nearby, I was able to explore without taking any buses or trains.
Experiences during the trip
The Hammerhead is about two blocks from the hotel. I was able to buy the popular Kurumikko, which was my goal.
From there, I moved to Yamashita Park and then headed to Chinatown. Walking to Yamashita Park is quick if you walk along the path next to the red brick warehouse.
Chinatown is full of fortune-telling shops where you can have your palm read from around 500 yen. Lunch is also quite affordable with various options under 1000 yen, making it enjoyable on a budget.
I also recommend the YOKOHAMA AIR CABIN. One-way costs about 1000 yen. How about trying just a one-way ride? It is relatively spacious, and there are many areas for boarding and alighting that are flatter than those of normal ropeways, making it easier to get on and off.
I learned about this hotel through hafh. Thanks to hafh, I can enjoy various travels! This time, I visited during the cherry blossom season. The schedule for Yokohama's fireworks festival was also announced. It would be nice to plan a visit around that event. I definitely want to come back during the pool season.Get Extra Bonus Coins!
