Overview
OMO7 Yokohama by Hoshino Resorts is located in Yokohama-Kannai, inside BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai on the former Yokohama City Hall site. It is a strong choice for travelers who want Yokohama's older port-side core close by rather than a stay centered on the larger rail hub at Yokohama Station.
The location is the draw. Yokohama Stadium, Nihon-odori, historic port streets, and the Minato Mirai waterfront are all easy to reach on foot or by train. This is not a direct Shinkansen or airport hotel, but the short walk to JR and subway services makes transfers through Yokohama and onward to Shin-Yokohama straightforward.
Rooms
The hotel has 276 rooms, with occupancy ranging from one to six guests. A key choice is between the compact-to-midsize YAGURA rooms and the larger KATARIBA rooms. YAGURA rooms measure about 24 to 25 square meters and accommodate one to three guests, while KATARIBA rooms range from about 41 to 55 square meters and are arranged for one to four guests.
For travelers comparing hotels around Kannai, this room mix is a clear advantage. The larger layouts, sofa areas, and separate bathroom and toilet arrangements in featured room types make the hotel a better fit for couples, families, or small groups who want space to relax after sightseeing. Rooms are non-smoking, and children aged six and under may share beds within the stated room capacity.
Facilities
The hotel works well for guests who want the convenience of a larger city complex around them. BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai surrounds the property with food, entertainment, and public spaces, while the hotel provides guest support such as lockers before check-in and after check-out, meeting space, parking, and a water dispenser.
Its leisure facilities are broader than those at a simple station-side business hotel. Facilities include a public bath, onsen, pool, spa or massage services, and a playroom, making it easier to spend part of the stay at the hotel rather than using it only as a place to sleep. There is no shuttle service, so the nearby JR, subway, and Minatomirai Line connections are the main transport options.
Dining
Dining reflects the hotel's Yokohama setting rather than functioning only as a basic breakfast service. Guests can choose between a breakfast buffet with Yokohama-style items such as dim sum and a bakery breakfast set centered on fresh bread. OMO Bakery operates throughout the day, serving bread, sandwiches, curry bread, and, in the evening, pairings of drinks and bread.
Dinner is casual and city-themed, with dishes such as Napolitan spaghetti, Doria, ramen, curry, and Chinese-influenced small plates. This gives guests flexibility before or after time in Kannai, Chinatown, Yokohama Stadium, or along the waterfront, without making the hotel restaurant feel like a formal destination meal.
Location and transport
The closest rail link is Kannai Station. The hotel is directly in front of the South Exit on the JR Negishi Line, about one minute on foot, and about two minutes from Kannai Station on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line. Nihon-odori Station on the Minatomirai Line is about seven minutes away.
Those three rail options each serve a different purpose. JR Kannai is convenient for transfers at Yokohama Station and local rail travel, while the Blue Line offers a direct route to Shin-Yokohama Station for the Tokaido Shinkansen. Nihon-odori adds Minatomirai Line access for the historic port district, Motomachi-Chukagai, and waterfront trips.
Airport access
Airport access uses nearby trains and buses rather than a hotel-door shuttle. From Haneda Airport, travel via the Keikyu Airport Line to Yokohama Station, then transfer to the JR Negishi Line for Kannai. From Narita Airport, travelers can take the Skyliner to Nippori and continue by JR to Kannai, or use an airport limousine bus to Yokohama City Air Terminal before the short JR ride from Yokohama to Kannai.
For most guests, this is best understood as a Kannai stay connected to Yokohama's wider transport network, not as a property with direct airport service. If you are arriving with large luggage, especially from Narita or after a Shinkansen trip to Shin-Yokohama, plan the transfer carefully.
Why stay here
OMO7 Yokohama by Hoshino Resorts makes the most sense for travelers who want Kannai, Chinatown, Yokohama Stadium, Nihon-odori, and port-side Yokohama close at hand, along with more dining and leisure facilities than a typical station-adjacent hotel. Choose it for the district and the overall hotel experience rather than for direct airport service or immediate Shinkansen access.
Good to know
The hotel opened on April 21, 2026. Although it is very close to JR Kannai Station, it is not the same kind of transport hub as Yokohama Station or Shin-Yokohama Station. Kannai works best for the surrounding port district, JR local trips, subway access, and sightseeing; airports, Shinkansen services, and long-distance rail will usually involve a transfer.
