Liked: We enjoyed our stay at Fukudaya, especially the friendly host couple who provided us with green tea and rice crackers every day. Very good location in a quiet residential area close to the bustling Shibuya.

Disliked: The room was a little run down (toilet, air conditioner) but all very clean.

15 September 2010 Catherine would recommend this property

Liked: It is a delightful small hostel, tucked away but easy to reach. Very quiet and clean. Good air conditioning in room. And a Japanese tea set. Room cleaned every day with fresh towels and kimonos. Free internet access.

Disliked: No facilities other than shower room and toilets. washbasins were communal with no door. Small doors to rooms. Staff on in evening did not speak English so could not help with getting the internet access.

Liked: Some of the staff members were very friendly. Its location is also good.

Disliked: My biggest annoyance is the amount of noise inside. It's not the city noise, but noise from other guests. The extremely thin walls and the poor quality wooden floor are to blame. When someone walks in the corridor, it's like they're walking in your room. This is a huge problem for light sleepers like me. A minor problem is that some of the staff members weren't friendly really.

Liked: The locatin is excellent and the old couple who owns the place is really nice and helpful. He speaks a bit english. Unfortunately, the guy who works at the reception most of the time is a bit anwilling concerning everything. So one should always ask for the owner.

Liked: Contrary to some comments I had read here, the hotel was quite easy to find. Just take any of the buses that leave from platform 17 at the south exit of Shibuya station and get off at the second stop (price is 210 yen). Walk in the direction of the bus and take the first left. The hotel is just a100 meters or so into this street on your right. The hotel is plain, simple and offers all you need for a comfortable stay. The toilets were not always clean, although I think this was more due to behavior of other guests than the cleaning capabilities of the hotel personnel. Most of all the staff was very friendly. They'd always welcome me back and make a chat. And back in my room a fresh tea set would always be waiting. I really enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay again.

27 November 2009 Vanessa would recommend this property

Liked: We stayed as a couple for our honeymoon for 4 nights. The location of this place is pretty good, it is approx 10min walk to Dogenzaka (the main street leading down to Shibuya crossing and the numerous shops/restaurants etc). Fairly safe at night and bus stop 1min away if you wish to use public transport (2 bus stops from Shibuya Station). Gentleman who works at reception is a nice character, very helpful and speaks good english. The lady doesn't speak much but is friendly and welcoming. Shower could have more attention when cleaned, but otherwise toilets and basins are clean and modern. You have to wear slippers once you enter the premises and leave your shoes in the foyer. My main disappointment was our room.. it was a twin private but one of the beds was an old futon/ day couch so it was uncomfortable to sleep on (they didn't attempt to hide it either as the couch cushions were there too). This is room #202 so if you get it, ask for another room! The room was a bit cramped, the gap/distance between the 2 beds was about 40cm so you had to sit on the bed to let another person pass. With a tv and wardrobe plus our 2 standard size backpacks it didn't leave much room to move. Another con, when someone near you opens their door, your door opens a little and thumps - perhaps there is be alot of air in the hallways? So in the middle of the night when people return home late, you get woken up by the doors thudding. The keys for your room are also on metal keychains which jingle like dog tags, so if you are a light sleeper like me, you hear EVERYTHING! We've previously backpacked around Europe for 3 months in much worse conditions, so our expectations are never too high, but there are a few things that could be changed/ improved at Hotel Fukudaya.

20 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Rooms were clean and functional and in an OK location, 15 minutes' walk from Shibuya. A japanese bath was on offer in the evenings from 6pm (on a one at a time basis rather than all-in communal). The lobby was the only place to meet people really and it wasn't the kind of place you'd linger, but there was a vending machine. A few of the staff spoke very little english but I had fun trying to communicate with my Japlish. I think they made sure the English-speakers were there during check-in time.The only think I found quite annoying was that the pillows were very hard Japanese-style ones, stuffed with dried beans. Trying to work off jetlag on those wasn't easy for me!

Liked: Hotel FukudayaIs a great place to stay for not to much money. Mr. Fukudaya is really helpfull and trying his best to speak english. There is was helper who speaks very good english. at the service desk is always people to help you( till 0:30). They cleaning your room everyday about 9-10 in the morning. After that they put the air-conditioning on for you. So if you come to your room always nice and cool.CleanThe shared shower is very clean, I think they cleaning it everyday. the Japanese Bath is also recommended.Service:I booked for 6 nights, but the 2nd night there was all room booked, so Mr. Fukudaya called me after my booking. and told me he has a altinative room. I could stay on a japanese style room. we slept on futon's, (thin matras on the ground) Futons was very comfortable. I prefer sleeping on the futon.LocationIn the beginning was very hard to find. even for the taxi driver. from Shibuya staion we paid around 1000 yen. But if you want to shibuya city.downtown it's only 15-20 minutes walk. 210 yen pp by bus. bus stop is 50meter from fukudaya hotel. outside fukudaya hotel there is also a convienient store 24/7 (AM PM)(40 meter away)Shibuyahas a lot of nice restaurants, western food and asian food. a lot of shops.If you leaving to Narita airport i would advice you to leave atleast 4~5 hour before your depature light. because the rushhour and the lack of english of the JR/Metro conductors. I missed 2 times a the JR line, and missed the JR narita express.I enjoyed the place! would recommend to other guest!
