Super Hotel Yokohama Kannai — the budget hotel that throws in a mineral bath and free breakfast
Did you know there's a hotel in Yokohama for ¥7,000 a night that lets you soak in a mineral bath after a full day of sightseeing, then wake up to a free breakfast? Super Hotel Yokohama Kannai is exactly that. Four minutes on foot from JR Kannai Station, right in the neighbourhood of Chinatown and Yokohama Stadium, it gives travellers on a tight budget two perks that most budget chains charge extra for or simply don't have — which is why guests come back and call it "better value than expected."
Super Hotel Yokohama Kannai sits at Furo-cho in Naka-ku, a four-minute walk from JR Kannai Station. This is the older, lived-in heart of Yokohama — step out of the station and Yokohama Stadium is on your right, and a few minutes further brings you to Japan's largest Chinatown. The location works well for anyone coming to Yokohama to wander the markets, eat Chinese food, or stroll along Yamashita Park by the bay.
"Brilliant service, very clean, friendly staff — many guests say they got far more than they expected for the price."
What separates Super Hotel from other budget chains in this price range is two things it includes at no extra charge: a free continental breakfast every morning and a large mineral bath (shared communal soaking tub) to ease tired legs after a long day. If you've ever come back from a full day of sightseeing in Yokohama with aching feet, the chance to soak before bed at budget-hotel prices is genuinely rare. Couples in particular rate the hotel highly — the Booking couples score sits at 8.9, well above average.
The pillow bar is another quiet touch Super Hotel is known for. Before heading up to your room you can browse a selection of pillows on display in the lobby — from soft and light to firm and supportive — and take whichever suits you. It's a small detail, but one that genuinely improves sleep for many guests, and staff are consistently praised in reviews for being attentive and helpful.
Here's the honest side before you book. The Single room is around 12 sq m — compact even by Japanese business hotel standards. It works perfectly for a solo traveller who plans to be out exploring most of the day, but two people who want elbow room should look at the Double room or consider other options. The mineral bath is communal, not a private bathroom — something some travellers are completely comfortable with and others are not. Worth thinking about before committing.
The free breakfast is a light continental spread — bread, eggs, coffee, juice, and a few Japanese-style items. Some guests find the menu limited and not as varied as a hotel buffet. But factoring in that it arrives free with a ¥7,000 room, it's more than enough to fuel up before heading out to Chinatown.
During weekends and events at Yokohama Stadium, rates climb steeply and rooms fill up fast. If you know your trip falls in one of those windows, book as early as possible. Overall, Super Hotel Yokohama Kannai makes a compelling case for travellers who want both a mineral bath and free breakfast without paying mid-range prices — in Yokohama, finding both together for around ¥7,000 takes some searching.
The short version for anyone who's decided: Super Hotel Yokohama Kannai is the right fit for a solo traveller or couple on a budget of around ¥7,000 per night who plans to spend most of their time out in the city, wants a mineral bath to wind down in the evening, and values a free breakfast to start the morning without hunting for a café. If that matches your travel style, this hotel delivers solidly on every point.
