Yachimata Hotels with Airport pickup service

I recently stayed at Vessel Inn Yachiyo (Katsutadai Ekimae) for a total of 3 weeks and I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is conveniently located next to the Keisei Katsutadai Station (south exit) and it's a quick train ride from Narita Airport and an easy train ride to Tokyo (Keisei line or Toyo line). There is a Lawson Convenience Store in the same building as the hotel, a 7-Eleven around the corner, a Livre Keisei Supermarket across the street and lots of decently priced places to eat within walking distance (Hidakaya, Torikizoku, Kushikatsu Tanaka, Chiyoda Sushi, Takakura Machi Coffee, etc). I reserved a deluxe double room for the first 2 weeks of my stay - I was concerned that the only available one was a smoking room. The room was located on the 7th floor and much to my surprise, I barely noticed any smell in the room (there was an air filter available, but I didn't need to use it). The room was much bigger than I had expected for a modestly priced Japanese hotel, it was very clean and had the usual amenities (PJs, slippers, shampoo/conditioner, body wash). I really liked the fact that you could ask for housekeeping service when you wanted it (the default was once per week) or you could leave your trash can and used towels outside of your door each morning and come back to an emptied trash can, fresh towels and a bottle of water. I ended up having to extend my stay and had to switch to the only room they had available for my final week - a single room which was also a smoking room. This room was on the 5th floor, which also housed the smoking area of the hotel. Unfortunately, the entire floor was filled with smoke. The hallway and the room were unbearably smokey and I had to have the air filter on full blast to tolerate the smoke. The room was clean, the bed was a little smaller, but not by much, the room was definitely smaller than the deluxe room, but still big enough to open my large suitcase. The staff here is a mix of Japanese and non-Japanese and while I only spoke to them in Japanese, I heard some of them speaking to other guests in decent English. Each staff member I interacted with was incredibly polite, helpful and knowledgeable. I especially appreciated the hotel staff who were there early in the morning to set up breakfast (5:30am to 9:30am). They were incredibly polite and attentive, constantly refreshing the buffet, cleaning tables and greeting guests. The breakfast buffet appeared very modest at first glance, but they had quite a variety of foods - rice, miso soup, curry sauce, grilled fish, sausages, cooked eggs, sashimi, raw eggs for rice, various Japanese side dishes (hijiki, kiriboshi daikon, konnyaku, mentaiko, natto, nori, steamed broccoli, salad, etc), as well as mini plain and chocolate croissants, toast, pancakes, yogurt, sweets and a variety of sodas, juices and coffee drinks. I'm mostly vegetarian but I felt there was enough variety for me to eat there each morning. Also, as part of their daily ”Welcome Se

Definitely on the older side, had to wear slippers around the room cause the carpet felt dusty to touch. But otherwise, it’s clean and nice enough for a one night stay, with a 24hr convenience store in the hotel itself. Appreciated that there is free shuttle from Narita airport and to Narita airport.

This hotel was extremely good value for money. The room was spacious, and all necessary amenities were provided. There is a convenience store and pharmacy located within the hotel itself. The shuttle bus also adds to the convenience, though demand for it is high.

Hotel is very close to narita airport and conveniently had airport shuttle for free. Rooms were well appointed with good amenities. They also offer shuttle to downtown but did not avail of it sinc we only stayed overnight. Breakfast buffet was wonderful. Wish I could have tried the spa as well.

It is a very good location, less than 10 minutes walk from Narita Station, 5 minutes walk from AEON Mall, and Shinsho Ji Temple within walking distance. The front desk kindly explained the accommodation, so I remembered it and thanked the hospitality. There are coin laundry, microwave oven, ice machine, and currency exchange machine in the building, and juice and snacks can be purchased at 100 yen from the vending machine, which is ideal for long-term residents. Despite the restrictions on foreign entry, it may be a popular hotel because I saw many guests in the hotel. Disinfected stickers are attached to paper cups and disinfected places, and measures against the new corona are perfect. The accommodation fee is less than 5,000 yen and the cost performance is very high, but the internet is a little slow and the download was 0.78Ｇ, so the evaluation was ４ close to 5.

Sleeping pods (capsules) are at two levels - crawl in at floor level or climb up to second level (small ladder). Capsule has mattress, doona/duvet/quilt, wi-fi, and adjustable light. You can sit up comfortably inside capsule. Retractable curtain covers the entrance to capsule. So you have to be very quiet so neighbours aren’t disturbed, and snoring can be an issue (yours or others). Hotel divided into two sections - men only and women only. Reception hands you a bag containing towels and robe. Door from reception opens to locker room. Lockers are good size - can fit the largest suitcase, and more. Leave your shoes in locker and use slippers. Then head to shower/toilet area or capsule-bed area. No eating or drinking in capsule-bed area. No lounge area. Hotel connected to Terminal Two by two walkways (underground near train station entrance, or overpass at level two). Terminal Two has 24hr convenience store and a Yoshinoya, and usual shops and restaurants open during business hours. Connecting passageway to Terminal 3 from Terminal 2, or Shuttle bus to Terminal 1 every ten minutes (takes 7 minutes).

It’s a nice hotel that’s right next to the airport. Our room was very comfortable; it had 3 very spacious beds and just enough space for our luggage. Sure, it’s a bit old. But, they did a nice job not making it too noticeable that it’s old.

While the check-in was smooth and the english-speaking staff at concierge was detailed in the available facilities e.g. sauna chargeable at 550 yen per pax, I was shocked by how unclean the room I stayed in was, at the highest level 11: dust was perpetually flying visibly in the air and worse if you smack the stained bed a bit; could see the dust and dirt stuck on TV remote control; there were stains on the bed; there were hair strands in the bathroom (e.g. bathtub); and there was a foul stench when I opened the bathroom (the kind that wet clothes did not dry properly hence proving the lack of ventilation in the bathroom). Thankfully I stayed for one night only though I did not use the facilities. The hotel seemed popular with other airline staff and tourists (Chinese, Thai, Korean) who could be rowdy at the lobby area and convenience store located at level 1 of the hotel. I did not feel exactly safe. All in all, I would strongly discourage booking this hotel.

The room was big and quiet. There is a convenience store, cafe, and restaurant on 1st floor. There is a laundromat, too. There was no water in the room, but there is a container for ice. There is a free shuttle to and from the airport and the Aeon shopping center. I do not like smoke and the floor I was on did not smell like smoke; however, in the annex hallway it did smell like smoke and I had to walk through the connecting hallway to get to the ice machine. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet even included a supplement bar.

The free hotel shuttle stop at Narita airport is conveniently located right outside international arrivals in T1 at bus bay 16, shared with all other hotel shuttles. Not sure about the T2 stop. However, be aware that the current shuttle schedule operates only FOUR TIMES PER DAY. (see picture: bottom row, 3rd from left) So plan accordingly. Check-in required just a passport. Got the room key in 15 seconds. The room was big by Japan standards. The AC worked very well. The restroom was small but had everything we needed. Also included are complimentary slippers and use of yukata. The 7-11 (open 24 hours) and Narita train station were just 2-3 minutes walk even with luggage. We checked out early in the morning and easily walked to the train station with all of our luggage. Overall a very decent stay in a great location. The only headache is planning to use the hotel/airport shuttle, since it operates so infrequently.
