Know before you book
- Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama are different stations. The Shinkansen stops only at Shin-Yokohama, so allow for the change with luggage. Hotel Mets gives about 15 minutes to Shin-Yokohama.
- The station is big, and the exit decides the walk. These five are reached from the North Gate and Kita-nishi (north-west) exit, the West exit, subway exit 9 and Shin-Takashima Station, so check which one your hotel names.
- From Haneda Airport, Keikyu trains run to Yokohama Station, and limousine buses stop at YCAT, the city air terminal by the station.
- Shin-Takashima is the next stop from Yokohama on the Minatomirai Line. Keikyu EX Hotel has Minatomirai in its name, yet its listing still gives eight minutes on foot to Yokohama Station.
- The Tokyu Toyoko Line runs through onto the Minatomirai Line at Yokohama. Their main gate is separate from the JR and Keikyu North Gate, and Splaisir gives a time from each.
- Prices are per person with breakfast, for two sharing. Saturdays can run far above weekdays, and no Saturday rate with breakfast came up for Keikyu EX Hotel in our search.

What we dropped
| Property | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Yokohama Bay Sheraton Hotel & Towers | Runner-up (71/100) | 71 points, one behind the fifth pick. It is the only one of the eight linked directly to the station, but ¥22,000–35,000 per person on a weeknight is 203% of the median, and that cost it the value score. |
| Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama-Higashiguchi | Runner-up (70/100) | 70 points. The location and the ¥8,000–21,000 weeknight rate are strong, but the categories Rakuten shows average 4.23, the lowest of the eight, and that held back the quality score. |
| Hilton Yokohama | Runner-up (67/100) | 67 points. It has the top review average of the 29, but ¥15,000–31,000 per person on a weeknight is 142% of the median, and the 11-minute walk is the longest of the eight. |
| Keikyu EX Inn Yokohama Station East | Left out | Two minutes from the same exit as Fresa Inn, but rated lower: 4.19 across 1,937 reviews. |
| Sky Spa Yokohama | Left out | 4.37 across 2,461 reviews and five minutes from the East exit, but it is a spa and sauna rather than a hotel. |
| 102 hotels | Below the floor | Fewer than 50 reviews, or an average below 4.0. |
Questions visitors ask
Are any of these hotels connected to Yokohama Station?
None of the five. The one directly linked hotel we compared is the Yokohama Bay Sheraton, a runner-up at 71 points because its weeknight rate is 203% of the median. Of the five, Richmond is the closest at two minutes from the Kita-nishi exit.
Does the Shinkansen stop at Yokohama Station?
No. It stops at Shin-Yokohama, a separate station. Hotel Mets gives about 15 minutes from there to Yokohama, so allow time for the change with luggage.
How do I get here from Haneda Airport?
Keikyu trains run from Haneda to Yokohama Station. There are also limousine buses to YCAT: the Yokohama Bay Sheraton’s listing gives 30 minutes.
Which hotels have a bath house?
Two of the five. Keikyu EX Hotel has a bath house and an open-air bath. Hotel Plumm has a bath house, open 15:00–25:00 and 5:00–10:00, with shorter hours on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Can I come by car?
It depends on the hotel. Hotel Plumm has parking at ¥1,600 a night, first come, first served. Hotel Mets has Times JR Yokohama Parking in the same building at ¥1,500 per 24 hours, with no reservations. Richmond has no partner car park, and Keikyu EX Hotel and Splaisir have no parking.
How much do these cost?
The table shows the cheapest price per person with breakfast, for two sharing, from Rakuten Travel’s availability search for Wednesdays and Saturdays between 14 November 2026 and 6 January 2027. Weekdays start at about ¥6,000 at Hotel Plumm and about ¥12,000 at Splaisir. Saturdays can run much higher.
