Hostel SAMURISE Mt Fuji

Room 0: uncomfortable bed (upper). Heater doesn't reach the lower bed. Hence, it's always cold. Room is tiny. The walls are thin. Floor is not clean under the bunk bed. Toilets are clean. Shower rooms are clean. Stayed for 3 nights. It's ok... Not that bad. It's just that I'll get a bad back every morning and super cold.

This review is specifically for room number 0, the twin room (bunk bed). The top bunk bed was uncomfortable. Whether you put your head on one side (right next to the AC) or the other (next to a wall indent with MOLD) it is impossible to sleep. As for the changing rooms (connected to the showers), they also have mold on the walls. The exhaust fans in the toilet rooms barely work resulting in a perpetual unpleasant smell. There is no sink to wash your hands in the toilet rooms yet the hand sanitizers were mostly empty.

Nice service from the owner

Self check in, no staff.

Very close to Kawaguchiko station. Clean and tidy. Has a microwave, a mini fridge and a kettle with a few options for tea. There are two convenience stores about a 5 minute walk from the hotel and Lake Kawaguchiko is about a 15 minute walk. Staff aren’t present on the property outside of cleaning (I think) which worked okay. We checked in and out by a tablet at the entrance. The bunk bed we had wasn’t super comfortable, but overall the place is definite worth the price. It was unfortunate that we were there while a large family was staying. The walls and doors are thin, so sleeping was difficult with the level of noise. I probably would have enjoyed the stay more if there were quieter guests.
