    Need to update the bed frames. I dont mind the sound, but it might cause inconvenience to others when they hear my bed squeaking every time i move.

    How close it is to everything.

    Horrible beds, mattresses and pillows

    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room

    The place is just so horribly designed. First of all 20 of the beds are all just in an open space, with the stairs, reception, and the common area, altogether. Then the beds are made of metal so every movement on them makes a sound, you wake yourself up and most probably also your neighbours. The individual lights shine through the huge gap between bunks so when your bunk mate decides to turn on the light then it's pretty much in your face too. Mattresses and pillows are old and thin so you'll feel the metal. Beds of poor quality aren't meant to last forever. Perhaps a capsule hostel would even be more spacious. I'd like to invite the owner to sleep one night there and see how they feel.

    The receptionist was really friendly. Location is good. It's clean. But that is all.

    The beds were extremely uncomfortable (you can feel the bars under the mattress). And the space is too small. There is not enough room to store or open your luggage.

    The staff was kind and helpful, and the location in China town is excellent.

    Nice place and even better staff! I had some complications arriving in Yokohama due to weather conditions and they constantly followed up to make sure I was ok. Although in the end I only could spend one night there, I really loved the place, it's cozy and smells sooooo good! If you're staying in Yokohama, visit Chillulu hostel, you won't regret it (:

    Amazing hospitality by Mr. Ito and management. They were very helpful, kind and generous. They provided free coffee and snacks and allowed luggage to be stored after check out to enable guests to continue sight seeing in town. The location in Chinatown was perfect. We could access to all the tourist attractions, shopping streets and train stations, without having to spend money on taxi. This is truly a very good value for money Hostel

    many things. first of all, the bed was so noisy - every movement of any person was heard by all the people at night. Because of that it was impossible to sleep well - and it is crucial while travelling. secondly, the were only one toilet and two showers - but there were a lot of people. thirdly, there was a separate living for men and women announced - but in fact everybody were living together, see each other in the underwear etc. last but not least - the “door” of each capsule was so bad that I could not close it well to separate from the outside.

    nice personnel, speaks English well

    I stayed here for two nights. The hosts Ito and Niko were so nice and friendly. You really feel welcomed. They were so helpful with info for the area too. The hostel is compact but is absolutely spotless. The location was so handy. I would highly recommend you stay here if in Yokohama. John Copas.

    the whole hostel is one big room with no doors except the toilet doors. the beds are all in one row, but they do separate female/male from left to right. as mentioned, no doors separating lounge and bed areas, if guests are noisy it will be tough. the woman sleeping below my bed was flirting and laughing until 12am at the lounge during my stay. When she finally decided to sleep, she was annoyed at the surrounding beds' bedlights and the water sounds from the airconditioning water pipes and kept making sounds of annoyance. It really depends on your luck to who you are staying with.

    place is right smack in the middle of Chinatown. lots of food options and short walk to the port area and train station.

    The space was just a large room at the top of a staircase. The bunks were metal which were really uncomfortable and squeaked every time you moved even a little bit. The privacy curtains also had large gaps & were not wide enough - so when people inevitably walked by your bunk space, they could see in really easily. The bathrooms were the only place you could get 100% privacy as even the changing area of the showers were only closed off by a door and a couple inches of wall above that. Overall, if you need one night stay in Yokohama and aren't looking for comfort or privacy, it'll do.

    The location was nice - centrally located in Yokohama Chinatown, close to transit, and only a 15 minute walk to the Gundam The staff were also welcoming and kind - both hostel and café

    I really don't like Japanese hostels which put ridiculous rules even in celebration holidays (new year) like "Do not speak after 9 pm" or "We will close facilities after 23:45". Hostel is the global culture to accept international tourists and share cheerful communication. Almost all of Japanese hostels are not following this principles and try to put us into "prison". While the prices of Japanese hostels are almost Western European and Scandinavian level, Japanese hostels have poorer services. Such Japanese policy "Please be unhappy together because other Japanese are unhappy" sucks. Moreover, Japanese staffs treat better to foreigners and behave shady to other Japanese. I personally do not stay in such a irrational prison-like hostels. I thought this hostel is run by Chinese because it is located in China Town. I double this hostel is hiring staffs who don't speak English and behave shady to my kind question. Hostel is NOT Japanese culture. If you don't follow hostel culture, please don't call your hostel "hostel".

    Cozy and clean hostel. It has lockers. Good location.
