Quad Inn Yokote

“Schön Onsen”

Für so einen vernünftigen Preis, das Hotel ist ziemlich gut. Das Onsen, kostenlos für Hotelgäste, ist unglaublich. Die Gegend ist nichts Besonderes, aber es dauert nicht mehr als 6 Minuten zu Fuß vom Bahnhof entfernt. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

We visited Yokote to attned the Bonden and Kamakura festivals in Feb 2014 during some of the heaviest snowfalls in Japan in 30 years. It made the walk with bags from the station interesting and longer than the 5 minutes it would normally take. Snow was piling up quicker than it could be cleared. The Quad Inn seems to sit somewhere between a Japanese business hotel and tourist hotel. Efficient, friendly and helpful staff (with good English language skills) and well appointed rooms of average Japanese size. Fine for a night or two but might become cramped for an extended period. However, the rooms and beds were comfortable with wifi and LAN. The bonus is the spa area on the ground floor. More than the usual hotel onsen, this was a large facility with several indoor baths, an outdoor bath and a large igloo shaped sauna. In the blizzard-like conditions, it was bliss to soak and steam away the cold after hours outside. As mentioned, the Quad is a short walk from Yokote train station and, if you have heavy bags or severe weather conditions, it is certainly within the minimum taxi flag-fall fare. Similarly, the city centre, where much of the Bonden activities and Kamakuras are based is a short taxi ride (maybe 10 - 15mins walk.) The beautifil Yokote Castle sits further away, across the river and on top of a hill. It was a further 20 min walk from the city centre and well worth it for the views alone. I believe there is a bus that circuits the town but between our legs and,.when weary, taxis we got around just fine. The activities, over a couple of days, of the boisterous Bonden Festival and at night, the delightful Kamakura festival, made for an enjoyable stay and we were very satisfied with the Quad Inn. I will add that there were some good and reasonable eating options close to the hotel and we enjoyed the buffet breakfast at the Quad.
