YADOYA Guesthouse for Backpackers Reviews

Very very awesome place! Thanks for having me :))

The staff were fantastic!

Staying at Yadoya was such a wonderful experience! The people are really what make this place special.

The location is fantastic and convenient for us to travel around Toyko, whether its via JR pass or other train lines.

Hostel is very clean and staff are friendly and helpful.

Small tight rooms, if the guy next to you snores forget sleeping.The bathroom smell is awful and it leaks into the room. Some of the lockers don't close. No internet in the rooms (second floor at least). Key deposit is 3000 Yen.

People working there are nice. Facilities are not great (compared with K's house), but Yadoya is cheaper!! If you don't mind getting what you pay for the money, go there. Location is quite good (pretty close to Shinjuku)/ One problem is a window of check in/check out time is narrow.

Your place has a lot of potential. The staff is very helpful and friendly. You offer a fantastic map of the area. And the office is the nicest place in your building. However, your place needs improvement. The beds need to be finished, not just exposed plywood. There shouldn't be any exposed nails on the walls (like in the bathrooms). The rooms should be more ventilated because they smell from so many people. The rooms are too crowded, take out at least one set of bunk beds. Fix more.

The staff of Yadoya is really helpful! Thanks for a great stay.

The reception area was very cramped, making access to the computer very cramped and uncomfortable. The rooms were extremely cramped and the noise from other guests was quite unbearable at times. One night my daughter had to let 2 guests in through her first floor window, as they were shouting for their room mate to let them in, but after an hour, she had no choice but to let them in through her window, so that she could sleep. The area was great for eating out and the train station was close by.

You can get value for money place bed for less than 20 usd in other place, but not in Japan. Be prepared with super small space, not permanent walls in which you can here any sound from the room besides you or anything outside. The wall is as thin as paper. I can't sleep in my first night here because the person besides my room just came home midnight and very noisy!

I won't be able to find any places nicer than here. Nice staff,location,clear bed,security fine. Next time, when I go to tokyo, there will be no doubt that YADOYA on my top priority.

thanks for the hanami party, hope i'll be back next year

i only stayed 1 night at the hostel but it was good :) even though the room is small, but the room n bathroom are so clean it is recommended for tourist who will use JR Pass

The staffs and all the people here are really nice. They are those who create a happy stay for me. Thanks!

Booked myself a room at the last minute at YADOYA hostel. Was very impressed with the quality of the dorm, the bedding, beds, general cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff. Definitely would stay again.

The staff was very helpfull and spoke excellent english. The map provided from the website was excellent and the beds were soft and nice. It was a good location in a quiet neighbourhood. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to get back!

Formally friendly staff.Many people staying there for work/holiday visa so expect that rooms are not professionally cleaned(I had a urine stench near to my bed during my whole stay) and that most of the staff is not very friendly and only cares about their own issues.The hostel opens at 9am so if you arrive earlier you gotta wait outside. It's also not located very close to the JR station, but within reach by walking.Only one PC for guests and it's limited to 30 minutes per use.Price is high.

Smallest space possible. One person had to climb to their bunk bed before the other could open the door to come in. Nowhere to stand in hall either. Smelled bad too. Lockers not secure.Very noisy from street right outside window and heavy sliding plywood door woke me up every day at 7am shaking the wall attached to my bunk (even with earplugs in) Got hit by the door when I came in from the street twice cause there's just nowhere to stand where a door doesn't open in your face. Hated it.

This is an OK hostel. The location is nothing amazing, but it does have good connection to the JR lines. The common room and kitchen area is very small. Only one computer that you can only use for 30 min, but they do have wi-fi. Everything at this hostel is quite "basic" but it all does the job.
