Yokohama Hostel Village Hayashi Kaikan

Staff was nice

The bathroom was never cleaned. The sink was very dirty and the toilets dusty

Strange neighborhood Small room with strange smell No elevator although there are 5 floors Bathrooms weren't clean as well as kitchen

The air conditioning unit, water dispenser and WiFi

So, the room was described as a traditional Japanese twin, but the two futons didn’t fit side by side. Nor was there any/much room at the end of the futon - so it should only be described as a single at best. There was damp in the corner of the room, which was at head level as we were sleeping on futons. The pillow that was provided for us was small and bean bag style - with no padding. The shower for men is on the 4th floor (we were staying on the 5th), there was one single shower. The floors at a rough count had 20-25 rooms (at a guesstimate that could be 70 people using 2 shower split by gender) - so certainly not enough showers in my opinion. So I had to sit and wait outside it at 11pm to actually get a shower. Towels were not provided or available. Which was very different from everywhere we’ve been so far. The toilets were also on the 4th floor and these did not have a separate sink/soap in. There is no elevator - not the biggest issue but staying on the 5th floor carrying heavy bags - added to the irritation. The area itself is a bit out of the way and there’s not a lot to do around past 10pm. All in all, if we bench this against other places we have stayed in within Tokyo it’s been the worst for cleanliness, amenities, location - which we could understand had it been dirt cheap, but it’s not, it’s comparable price to a ginza pod hotel - which was significantly better. Had we had more energy when we arrived, we may have just gone down the road to another hotel that had more facilities available (such as a private bathroom etc) for £50, which would have been only £2 more than we paid and sacrificed the fee paid already - this was a serious suggestion on the night but coming back from mt. Fuji all we wanted to do was shower and sleep. Note - The reception was across the street and the hotel room seemed to be those leased out to the hostel from the other building. Which meant that it was unclear what floors you were able to access.

good location

Not clean, just checked in to see hair on the sheets. The equipment is very old.
