Hotel Fukudaya (Asakusa) Reviews

My arrival was a bit hectic but the staff happened to be patient with me, thanks to them! The room was small, but that’s just what I needed to sleep well and keep my things secure. It’s a bit hard to get there from city center, so I will probably skip it next time, but it was an overall really good experience. :)

Great place for the price. The rooms are as described, 3 tatami mat-sized rooms with futon (for a single room) with a tv and fridge, towels, yukata, and a tea cup. Old but clean. Probably about 70 or so rooms. So with only two showers for the entire hotel on the ground floor, there would be a big line for them at times. The owners sit at the desk and are very sweet, but yes, English is very limited. The area itself is bland, but the train is a 12 minute walk away, so it didn't bother me.

Some places were visibly dirty; not places you use but edges, corners etc. They do have a public bath for women (17:00-20:00) and men (20:00-23:00) which I regrettably did not have time to try. The station is reasonably close to Ueno station and thus Tokyo station. The staff is very friendly but their English could be better. It is certainly worth the money, espeially with a Lawson 100 close by and a fridge in your own room!

It's located in a quiet neighbourhood. Very clean and good WiFi. The only downside was that my room on the 5th floor smelt very funny and I strongly believe that it was because of the smoke of cigarettes by some previous guests. You do get a tiny private room without a bathroom or a shower which is only on the ground floor.... Value for money for smoking guests.

the hotel doesn't accept credit card. the toilets are old. I don't really like the towels provided. They seem to be over used and very old. the only good thing is there is free wifi in the room.

Our stay was short, thank goodness! Staff doesn't speak much english... Only 2 showers for the whole building located on the first floor (we were on fourth)... Closest metro station 15 min walk... Rooms are very small (3 tatamis for 2 people we could hardly fit our suitcases!)... No place for people to gather... Well not the best! But Tokyo is fantastic so we spent most our time outside anyway!

Difficult to find for english speaking travellers, but overall was a lovely place to stay.

The location is not that bad for Tokyo, but the surrounding area is a bit weird, especially at night. The rooms were small, but that's not a problem in case you just use the hostel for the night. I liked that I had a terrific view of Tokyo Sky Tree from my window and that there was a nice and clean Japanese ofuro besides the showers. However, I would opt for better area next time.

Only two showers, which could be very unconvenient when the hotel is packed. Good thing is they have a big bath, so if you are fine with those and the opening times, there is no problem. The rooms (I had a single private room) are small but sufficient. Would definitely go there again.

Not bad for the price. If you just need a place to stay, then this is good. If you want to meet people, this probably isn't the place for you. The location is a bit out of the way but convenient enough. On the whole, I'd say this place is more geared towards longterm/business travellers then tourists.The people at reception don't speak English but are still very helpful and polite. The place is also very clean and well kept.
