10 Best Budget Hotels in Yokohama
Cheap · Clean · Walk-to-Station
Kannai to Sakuragicho · from ¥5,700/night

If you want the best-located budget hotel in Yokohama, Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Higashiguchi is our number one — because it's just a 2-minute walk from Yokohama Station, the largest rail hub in the city, connecting JR, Tokyu and Minato Mirai lines in every direction. It scores Trip.com 9.1 from 380 reviews and Booking 8.4, and guests consistently say "clean rooms, friendly staff, great amenities." The rooms are standard Japanese business-hotel size — a Single is around 13 sq.m., compact but well laid out, with aircon, TV, fridge and fast Wi-Fi. It's ideal if you're using Yokohama as a base and dipping into Tokyo, because you walk out the door and you're on a train. From around ¥8,000/night, that location in a major city is genuinely good value.

If you want a budget room that actually looks new and has a bit of style, Hotel Resol Yokohama Sakuragicho is the one people talk about. It scores Agoda 8.6 from over 2,156 reviews — a large sample for a hotel this size — plus Trip.com 9.2. It sits just a 3-minute walk from JR Sakuragicho, with easy strolls to Bashamichi and Minato Mirai. Guests praise the "modern, stylish rooms, clean, genuinely helpful staff." A Single runs around 14 sq.m. with a warm-toned fit-out that feels a step above the usual business hotel. To be straight with you, the rooms are small in the Japanese way — but at around ¥7,500/night with a walkable Minato Mirai location, it's strong value. Great for solo travellers or couples who want a good-looking room on a budget.

Richmond is a chain Japanese travellers themselves pick — because the rooms run larger than a same-price business hotel — and Richmond Hotel Yokohama-Bashamichi scores especially well: Booking 8.1 from 1,763 reviews, HotelsCombined 8.5 from 2,721, and it ranks #7 of 115 hotels in Yokohama. It's in the Bashamichi area, a 4-minute walk from the station, with the Red Brick Warehouse and Minato Mirai close by. Guests agree it's "spotless, more spacious than expected, with professional staff." A Single is around 16 sq.m. — noticeably bigger than Toyoko or Sotetsu — and the bathroom doesn't feel cramped. From around ¥9,500/night it's pricier than the top entries here, but if you want room to unpack and a bathroom you can breathe in, that premium is well spent. Good for couples or anyone travelling with bigger luggage.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Yokohama-Koen is another chain that stands out for roomier rooms and bigger bathrooms than the average business hotel. It scores HotelsCombined 8.7 from a huge 4,978 reviews, plus Booking around 8.5, and ranks #9 of 115 hotels in the city. It sits directly opposite Yokohama Stadium, a 5-minute walk from Nihon-Odori Station, with Chinatown and Yamashita Park just minutes away. Guests describe "clean, spacious rooms, big bathrooms, easy to get anywhere." A Single is around 15 sq.m., but the real draw is the bathroom that isn't a tiny unit bath. From around ¥9,000/night. One thing to know: some reviews mention weak water pressure in certain rooms and a slow breakfast when it's busy — but overall it's good value if you care about room space and a Chinatown-adjacent location.

Hotel Edit Yokohama is a mid-budget hotel that sells itself on design and service. It scores Booking 8.1 from 1,964 reviews, but what won us over are the sub-scores — staff 8.9, cleanliness 8.5, comfort 8.3 — unusually high for the price. It sits in what's genuinely a sweet spot of the city: a 5-minute walk to both Bashamichi and Sakuragicho, two stations at once, with Minato Mirai walkable. Guests write that "the staff really care, rooms are spotless, stylishly decorated." A Single is around 14 sq.m. with a warm tone and a work nook. From around ¥8,500/night, for anyone who wants a budget stay with nice atmosphere and service above its price, this hits the mark. Good for couples and travellers who like a good-looking hotel on a budget.

If your priority is cheapest with free breakfast, Toyoko Inn Yokohama Kannai is the one travellers keep recommending to each other. It scores 8.2/10 from over 501 real reviews, and from around ¥6,500/night it includes free Japanese rice balls (onigiri) every morning — rare at this price. You walk out the door and Nihon-Odori Station is 3 minutes away, Chinatown is a 10-minute walk, and Yamashita Park and Osanbashi Pier are nearby too. Straight up: the rooms are small (Single ~12-13 sq.m.) like every Toyoko Inn, and there's only one lift so it queues at breakfast time — but for this price with a central location and breakfast, guests agree it's "the best value in Kannai at this rate." It's the one hotel here with a full Wherebest review you can read before you decide. Great for budget travellers and solo trips.

Yokohama Sakuragicho Washington Hotel earns its place on the sheer weight of evidence — 6,738 reviews at 8.2 (KAYAK), which tells you the quality is genuinely consistent over time, not a fluke. The location is the real selling point: a 2-minute walk from JR Sakuragicho and right beside Landmark Tower and Cosmo World, so you step straight into Minato Mirai from the door. Guests praise being able to walk to everything in Minato Mirai and the easy rail transfers. A Single is around 13 sq.m., standard business-hotel size, from around ¥8,000/night. One thing to know: it's been around a while, so some rooms feel less fresh than Hotel Resol or Hotel Edit — but if you value a spot right next to Landmark Tower on a budget, it's hard to beat. Good for families and full-day Minato Mirai sightseeing.

Super Hotel Yokohama Kannai is a Japanese business-hotel chain that domestic travellers know well for free breakfast and a communal soaking bath. Its Booking score for couples reaches 8.9, and it ranks #32 of 115 hotels in the city. Guests praise "good service, very clean, lovely staff," and like the free continental breakfast every morning. The feature you won't find elsewhere on this list: a large communal bath to soak away a full day of walking. It's a 4-minute walk from JR Kannai, near Chinatown and Yokohama Stadium. To be honest, the rooms are small (Single ~12 sq.m.) and some find the breakfast spread limited — but from around ¥7,000/night with breakfast and a bath included, it's strong value for budget travellers who want a little extra comfort.

If your trip means continuing by Shinkansen (into Tokyo, or onward to Nagoya, Kyoto), staying near Shin-Yokohama is far more convenient — and Shin Yokohama Prince Hotel is the standout value pick there. It scores 8.1/10 from a huge 5,758 reviews. It's the tall round tower a 3-minute walk from Shin-Yokohama Station, so you board the bullet train without backtracking into the city. Guests love the city views from the higher floors and the at-the-station convenience. A Single is around 16 sq.m., larger than the typical business hotel because it's a full tower hotel, from around ¥9,000/night. One thing to know: Shin-Yokohama is a different zone from Minato Mirai/Chinatown (another 10–15 minutes by train into the centre) — choose this if your trip leans more on the Shinkansen than on Yokohama sightseeing.

We close the list with the cheapest entry — Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Sakuragicho, from just around ¥5,700/night. What made us include it: it was freshly renovated in June 2025, so the rooms feel brand-new even at the lowest price here. TripAdvisor gives it 4 stars, ranking it #20 of 115 hotels in the city. Guests write "excellent service, very clean, surprisingly spacious rooms." It's the same Sotetsu chain as our #1, so the quality is dependable; it has 128 rooms, a 4-minute walk from JR Sakuragicho, and the Red Brick Warehouse and Yokohama Stadium within a 15-minute walk. To be straight: the station walk is slightly longer than #1 or #2, and breakfast is an add-on — but if you want a freshly renovated room at the lowest price on this list, it's a very good deal for the budget-conscious.
