Hotel Hot spring Yokohama

We stayed at this hotel for 3 days. 2 adults and 1 kid. the hotel location is of course far from downtown tokyo, but that is a compromise we were willing to take to stay in a comfier and spacious room. there are two metro stations nearby (1 closer, other one a 20 minute walk away). Both walkways are passing through a mall and a covered pathway which has travelators installed. The nearby malls and cup noodle museum were great. lot of eating and dining options. and tōkyō downtown was a 40 minute subway ride. Overall a great stay. You can also get airport limousine from hotel reception level 1 and there are comfy sofas to wait for your checkin time or post checkout.

We stayed for the firework on NYE and this hotel delivered!! (Although I did go to the pier to enjoy it with the crowd). This hotel is located above Cross Gate which is a 3-4 level mall mainly of restaurants. I missed the info that they have a car park right under the building so I parked for an hour outside but that's fine. I wish it was multiple entries though. Car park is definitely challenging for bigger cars but manageable. Back to the hotel, it's typical Japanese size or even smaller if it's a two bed room. Breakfast was proper buffet style and I mean the room can fit maybe 30-40 tables if not more so you can imagine their offering is superb in both western and Japanese style. My only regret is I was too tired to walk and try each plate they offer!! Room is tiny but it can be excused by the view. Although I saw some constructions starting so the view might be blocked next time I come :( The only concern I had is that some lifts can connect to the mall bypassing the reception. So literally anyone could arrive to your door, which caught me by surprise a little.

We booked the deluxe twin room for a family of 2 adults and 2 children - ages 4 and 6. The staff were so helpful and welcoming.  Cleanliness was impeccable.  As first time visitors to Yokohama, we thought the location was ok, however we were only getting to know the public transport towards the end of our stay so I’d recommend getting familiar with it to visit attractions more efficiently.

Oakwood are great for family travels because they often come as suites and that means a living room and kitchen without the ”suite” price at regular hotels. The building was also great. Basically a residential building where the hotel has a few floors. Nearby was all the restaurants, activities associated with Minatomirai. In addition the benefit was that the station exit was literally right in front of the hotel.

Fantastic location above the subway. Shopping Malls were literally down the hotel and amusement parks are just a stone throw away. The scenic view was amazing. You won't regret staying in this hotel.very comfy bed.

Nice hotel with beautiful view, staffs with good manner, hotel room was tidy and clean. Be reminded car parking requires 1600yen per night.
