Top Kamakura Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Yokohama

Hyatt Regency Yokohama

10/10 Excellent
"As soon as we walked through the door, the staff was right there to collect our luggage and help us with the registration process. A desk clerk walked us to our room with our luggage. The room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed. The only drawback for our extended stay was the lack of drawers to store clothes. A cabinet with a few drawers would have been very helpful. The businessman, who is there for one night, would not need the storage. The hotel was conveniently located near the railway station making sight-seeing very easy. The hotel was also very quiet. We were never bothered by unwelcome noise during the night."

They provide many useful ameneties for free including bath bombs which we always grab a few to bring back home. The paid breakfast buffet is okay, wish they had more variety. The only problem I can think of is the air conditioning control panel is all in difficult Japanese which translator apps can't translate so you'll need help using it unless you can read Japanese."
