The people working at the reception were all very friendly. I speak Japanese so check-in was pretty smooth but I saw a lot of other foreigners and they could generally communicate in English with them.
My room was quite small with tatami floor. I had a large window and my own private access to a toilet. Didn't have a shower in my room, but had access to a bath (you lock it so you have sole access for that period of time). It was pretty cold in Tokyo at that time but the air conditioner heated the (small) room just fine.
There are no elevators but they will help you with your luggage if you are staying on the upper floor.
They held onto my luggage after I checked out and I came back for it later. I only had them hold onto it for a few hours, but I believe they can hold onto it for even a few days.
Can't imagine having to stay here again since it's not the most convenient for tourists and I won't be needing to take the exam again. You have to walk quite a distance from the nearest JR station (uphill too). But it was a very comfortable stay.
From Narita airport we took the Airport Limousine Bus to Cerulian Hotel in Shibuya at 18:30, we could have walked to Fukudaya hotel from there, but as it was raining and the sky was getting dark and with all the luggage, we've decided to take a taxi and it costs 740 yen as stated in the hotel web site. You better print the map and the address in Japanese of the hotel (from its web site) and show it to the taxi driver, that will definitely help him/her to locate the hotel. But afterwards, we always walk from/to the hotel to/from the Shibuya station along the Tamagawa dori (or RTE-246) and Dogenzaka dori (dori means street). The walk is pleasant and it takes about 10 to 15 mins depending on your pace and charges. My son spent a lot of time taking pictures of the crossing at the Shibuya station near the Hachio statute. You get a very good view of the crossing from the window on the 2nd floor of the Starbucks at that corner.
We arrived at the hotel around 18:40 and were greeted by 2 very lovely and helpful ladies. We got a very clean room with all 3 futons set. When we told them that we will go to Shinjuku station, they gave us the code to the door so that we can stay out late, and they volunteer to lend us the umbrellas as it kept raining as well as the maps .... The next morning we met the owner of the inn and this gentleman speaks English very well. He is also as nice as the 2 ladies.
The hotel is in a very good location. Apart from the surrounding areas of the Shibuya station, from there you can walk to Yoyogi Olympic Stadium, Yoyogi Parc, Meiji shrine, Harajuku station, Takeshita dori (the shopping street of young people), Omotesando dori, and Aoyama dori. Just the location is worth the price. The owner and staff are all friendly, nice and helpful, asnd the room is kept clean. As their first visit to Japan, my wife and my son really enjoyed the stay in this hotel and we would certainly come back again.
Other downsides:
-Slippers provided don’t fit and are too difficult to use going up/down the stairs
-Walls are paper thin with hardwood floors to echo everyone else’s movements/key dropping
-The entrance is the drinking/smoking area that you have to go through every time
-*one* communal shower room for probably 20+ people
-the one chair in our room had a stain that looked like someone’s crotch sweat (we did not touch that chair)
-no elevator, you carry your luggage yourself up the stairs (in bad slippers)
-ongoing construction that wasn’t listed at the time we were booking
-the location isn’t that great, there are much better hotels closer to stations throughout Tokyo for the same price - this was a 15 minute walk from Shibuya uphill
Misleading listing with a total lack of amenities. I had significantly better experiences at other hotels in Tokyo for the same price and a much better location.
The owner speaks good English, he also advised me how to get to Haneda Airport by taking the Airport Limousine bus from Shibuya Mark City, which saved me a lot from the expensive taxi fare.
They do not talk anything on booking fee I already pay online (10%).
This is worst experience on booking-trouble I have ever encountered in Japan.
I evaluate 3 in cleanness, location and room because I cannot evaliate. The service, value and overall evaluation for me is1, because they cannot manage their reservation system.
Upon my arrival I was greeted by a friendly and helpful older Japanese man who seemed to be the owner. He was very helpful and informative and appeared to have a lot of time for his guests.
My room was a double room. It was clean and spacious and decorated in the traditional ryokan style with tatami flooring and sliding doors. It had a small bath tub and air conditioning. A futon is laid out on the floor in the evening for sleeping, which I found quite comfortable however, those of you with a bad back or mobility issues might find it difficult.
The hotel also has some vending machines, complimentary umbrellas, free Wifi & a machine that gives out free coffee, water or green tea.
Location wise, it's quite good. There's a bus from Shibuya station if your feet are tired but it's only a fifteen minute walk from the station. I had no problem finding the place but I had working internet and google maps so it might be a little bit tricky trying to find your way there without that as it's a little bit out of the way.
There's plenty of places to eat around Shibuya and the general area and also there's at least three convenience stores within a few minutes walk of the hotel. Being Japan, there's also plenty of vending machines nearby.
Since Hotel Fukudaya is done in the style of a Ryokan it is a shame there isn't an Onsen to relax in at the end of the day. After a long day marching around Tokyo it would have been most welcome.
The staff were friendly and helpful although I had one negative experience with a guy who was working there in the evening. He wasn't Japanese and I got the feeling he didn't enjoy working there. I asked him could he print a boarding pass for me and he snapped that "He was very busy" even though I was the only guest around at the time. I told him it didn't matter I'd find some other way to do it. He then changed his mind and reluctantly printed off the e-mail. Which took all of 4 seconds effort. He seemed really annoyed that I had asked him to do this and didn't say a word when I thanked him.
Asides from that, I had a pleasant experience staying in the Fukudaya Hotel. It is in a great location and is excellent value.
"They are very helpful and even emailed me in NZ before we left telling us where our room would be and was this ok."Read full review
