Just outside of Tokyo lies Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city and a popular destination as a day trip from Tokyo. Recently the Yokohama area has also become popular among visitors as a base for exploring the east part of Japan too; with easy access to the bullet train (Shinkansen) from Shin-Yokohama, generally bigger rooms and lower prices than in Tokyo the city is an attractive alternative for those who are familiar with the area.
One of the hotels that recently is gaining popularity in the area is Hotel Edit Yokohama, a 3-star Western-style boutique hotel that opened up its doors to customers in 2015. Hotel Edit Yokohama can be reached in 6 min by foot from both Sakuragicho Station and Bashamichi Station, from which you can get to Haneda International Airport in approximately 40 min and to Narita International Airport in around 105 min.
Hotel Edit Yokohama is a part of UDS, a group that specializes in fancy accommodations with budgets ranging from low budget ¥3,000 hostels to ¥30,000 luxury hotels. Some of their other hotels include the popular Bunka Hostel Tokyo, Grids Akasaka and Nihombashi-East, On the Marks Kawasaki and Hotel Kanra Kyoto. One of the things the hotels in this group have in common is that they put a lot of efforts into the common space - in the case of Hotel Edit Yokohama they have a cozy area on the first floor where guests can enjoy complimentary coffee and relax.
I have written more about this below. But first, a short introduction of the guest rooms.
Guest Room - Small Double Room
For this visit I stayed at one of the hotel's Small Double rooms. This room type comes with a Semi Double bed that can be used for either one and two guests. The room size is 15 sq.m., so if you are two guests traveling with large suitcases I would recommend going for a regular Twin or Double room.
Room Amenities
The hotel provides all the most necessary things you would need for a comfortable stay. Below is a full list of the room amenities:
- Air conditioning
- Hair dryer
- Sofa
- Alarm clock
- Heating

- Internet access – wireless

Bathroom
The hotel room had a standard bathroom with toilet and shower. It also came with a couple of useful amenities such as a toothbrush, a hairbrush/comb, and a razor.Facilities - Common Area
The hotel has a common area where guests are free to hang out during their stay. In the common area, there's a coffee machine where guests can enjoy complimentary coffee. The coffee machine also comes with disposable cups enabling guests to do take-out.
In the common area you can find a number of sofas at your disposal. Some of them come with curtains that you can close, and thus enjoy almost full privacy while enjoying your coffee.
On the first floor they also have a section where they display and sell local souvenirs, including designer items related to the hotel such as the "[E] Hotel Edit" cups you find in the guest rooms.
Some other useful facilities worth mentioning are their coin laundry machines on the guest floors and their umbrellas ready to be borrowed if you get taken aback by the weather.
Breakfast
One of the unique things about Hotel Edit Yokohama is their amazing breakfast buffet. During my stay the menu included exotic alternatives like pumpkin hummus and shrimp & tomato couscous. They also have various of (sweet) bread if you prefer that. The breakfast buffet also comes with dessert, including fruit.
The hotel takes pride in their french toast, so if you end up staying at the hotel you might want to try a piece.
For people staying a night at Hotel Edit Yokohama, I would recommend having dinner/a couple of drinks at the Yokohama Brewery situated on the opposite side of the street to the hotel. This restaurant specializes in locally produced ingredients in their dishes, and as you probably have guessed they also produce their own beer.
The Minato Mirai area is within sight just a couple of minutes walk from the hotel |
