Richmond Hotel Yokohama Ekimae

The area isn’t very safe due to the location, but once inside, it was so clean that I felt at ease. The bathtub was spacious, and it was fun being able to switch between different shower heads. The selectable bath salts and the POLA hand soap also smelled wonderful. There were blinds by the sink area in front of the bathroom, which made me feel more comfortable, and opening them made the Room look larger—really nice.I expected a typical business hotel, but it was very clean! I could watch lots of apps on the TV by logging in, and mirroring worked too. Also, I personally loved the drip bag coffee and lemon mint tea—they were delicious and made me happy.For eco reasons there wasn’t bottled water in the Room (it seems you can get some by following their Instagram), but there was a water dispenser system where you go fill up yourself, and it was great to have both room-temperature water and cold water. The BALMUDA electric kettle looked stylish too—big plus points. The Superior Double bed was extremely comfortable as well.I want to go to Royal Host next time! Very satisfied!

It was very convenient—just a short walk from Yokohama Station’s North West Exit, with a convenience store and a drugstore nearby. However, it’s located in an area that feels like a nightlife district, so if you’re traveling alone as a woman, you might feel a bit uncomfortable at night. All the staff were kind and courteous. Check-in and check-out via the machine were also easy and convenient.
