During our 2023 Tokyo cherry blossom viewing trip, we stayed at the Far East Village Hotel Yokohama. Free coffee, tea, and cookies were available throughout the day in the hotel's lounge. The bar and sofa areas provided a relaxing place to eat, drink, and rest. While the rooms were small, the beds were spacious and comfortable, allowing us to enjoy a good night's sleep after a day of exploring the cherry blossoms.

Village Hotel Yokohama by Far Eastern Resorts is a 14-story building that was newly completed and opened in 2020. It offers 277 guest rooms on floors 2 to 14. All rooms are double rooms with one double bed or two single beds. Due to the limitations of the original WBF hotel building structure, the standard and superior rooms are not very spacious, the three-piece bathroom system is cramped, and it is difficult to unfold large luggage. However, there is space for luggage under the bed.
The 11th to 14th floors of Far Eastern Village Hotel Yokohama are where the Supreme Rooms, which are based on the concept of executive floors, are located. Each floor has a special small executive lounge space called Village Lounge, which serves a variety of snacks, alcoholic and soft drinks from 17:00 to 21:00 and is free for guests of the Supreme Rooms. Unfortunately, although we stayed in the Supreme Room, we missed the opening time because the cherry blossom viewing trip was the priority. When Hamburger passed by, he could only stare at the snacks and drinks inside.
During this trip, I stayed in the Supreme Superior Room on the 13th floor. Within the limited space of 14 square meters, I could only try my best to move a large luggage and open it. The three-piece bathroom space is also quite small, making the sink space very cramped. Fortunately, the space in the room The two single beds can be combined to form a Hollywood twin bed. The bed is also highly supportive and soft, so a family of three can sleep quite comfortably at night. (🔎Reservation prices and accommodation reviews:agoda|booking.com|Trip|klook)
