Japan’s efforts to remain healthy three years into the pandemic get my full support, but some of the ongoing protocols at this hotel seem a bit silly at this stage. For example, dining tables featuring plexiglass partitions also have instruction placards depicting the correct way of keeping your face mask on while eating, dropping the mask just momentarily to take a bite of food. Only in Japan would something like this be embraced by the public.
Another strange tidbit worth mentioning was the warning notice printed on a small card atop the headboard in our bedroom. It mentioned that a hefty fine would be levied for damaging the delicate gold designs painted on the decorative wooden panels behind the bed. The room itself was tidy and modern, but felt small, as if everything was a few inches shorter than full size.
Overall, the Hyatt Regency Yokohama is a really nice hotel, just not quite as spectacular as it could be for regular guests.
The staff gave me a room key to a room that was occupied by another customer because “they didn’t check throughly”. I then had to wait in the lobby for them to sort this out.
Making such rookie mistake is simply intolerable for any hotel staff let alone the supposed-to-be prestigious Hyatt brand.
For all Globalist members, avoid this place like a plague not only because of my (hopefully) rare encounter but also because at Hyatt Regency Yokohama all globalists are treated like just another customer with no privileged treatments.
For the guest whom I have disturbed on Nov 5, I am sorry to have barged into your room. It was never my intention to disturb you.
We had access to the Club lounge on the third floor, where we checked in and out. There are food offers in the morning and evening. Breakfast was a very good buffet including crispy bacon, scrambled eggs and fries. Evening food included popcorn shrimp, spring rolls, pizza, fried chicken and fish, burdock crisps. Alcohol between 5 and 7 including Asahi and Bombay Sapphire gin and tonics.
Location is good - a short walk to the station and two stops to the shops and a short walk to Osanbashi Pier, with great city views from the rooftop walkway.
My wife and I went down to the front desk for breakfast and were directed to the restaurant. but we were not allowed entry. Thus, we had to leave the hotel and try to find a healthy place to eat.
The room was nice. As expected of the Hyatt Regency brand it’s a definite step up from any Japanese business hotel. I was happy to find a snack and note from the manager in my room.
This and Hyatt’s Tokyo Bay location tend to be the more budget-friendly options as far as western chains in the Tokyo area. Tokyo Bay is better if visiting Disneyland however I find this location better for any other purpose. The hotel is walking distance from the Minatomirai Line where one can get off at Yokohama Station or continue to Shibuya or Shinjuku. For this reason this location is better even if you have to pay marginally more than the Tokyo Bay location. Yokohama itself has plenty of convenience stores, restaurants, and entertainment. Unlike Tokyo Bay this location did not have coin laundry as far as I could tell.
I will point out one perfect reason to stay at this hotel. Osanbashi Cruise Terminal is a mere 10-15 walk away from the hotel. Anyone going on a cruise from this terminal looking for a place to stay before their departure need look no further.
The check-in process was done in the beautiful lounge on the 3rd floor. However, it is a real pity it is not located on a much higher floor because there is basically no view right now.
The lounge staff was friendly and professional, especially a lady (from Australia I think) whose name I can’t remember.
For a Hyatt Regency, the tea / cake selection was really weak during the day. The quality improved for cocktail hours. Breakfast in the lounge was pretty disappointing. The selection was pretty limited and I don’t recall seeing grilled salmon, proper omelette or even miso soup. I’ve had more memorable breakfasts in 3-4 star hotels in Japan.
Nevertheless, I’ve had a better experience at the Hyatt Regency Yokohama than at the tired Regency or the overrated Park Hyatt in Tokyo.
