The Chillulu Hostel was great. Super central in China Town. I guess the most important information for me would be: SLEEPING The beds were comfortable and warm and surrounded my walls. At the end of the bed you have a curtain for more privacy. I especially liked that there is also a small mirror incorporated in your "room"/bed, so technically, you could make your hair/make-up there. Even though everyone sleeps in one room, beds are divided by men and women. SOCKETS There is two sockets at your bed and more in the common room. STORAGE Each person has their own bigger locker. You don't need to bring your own lock, there will be one there. Furthermore, there is space under the bed if you have the bottom bed. In my opinion, another perk of the bottom bed is that you have some space between the head of the bed and the wall to store smaller items like a small backpack. This space can only be reached if you are in your bed. If you have the top bed, you have more head space though which is also nice. For bigger items, you can use the common space and also store them there after check-out if you let the staff know in advance. WIFI The WiFi was great and super fast! I actually had the impression that it's even better than my WiFi at home. KITCHEN There is a small kitchen that you can use. I didn't use it much, but as far as I remember it had a microwave, an electric kettle, a small pot and an induction (?) hot plate. You are also provided with free coffee powder there. LAUNDRY There is a washing machine and a dryer you can use (you need your own detergent however). It's coin machines. Washing costs 200 Yen, drying 100 Yen. However, my clothes weren't 100% dry so you might have to do the drying twice (or I just used the wrong settings?). COMMON SPACE There is a small common space which is very cozy. You can use it any time. However, you are only allowed to make noise between 08:00 and 22:00 which is fair in my opinion.

Actually I loved the hostel! Except for nine hours, it was kind of my first hostel experience and I was totally content! There is only a few things that I didn't like: 1) the pillows of the beds were to strong and high, so I didn't use them much except for leaning against the wall. 2) everything is in one room, so you hear everything. Luckily, I had good roommates though, so it was okay for me. 3) The air in the hostel was often quite used and smelly and there is very limited amounts of windows (that you can open at least). Some fresher air would be nice. And it's not a bad thing per se, but just sth you should be aware of. The hostel is tiny! So there is not much space in general. Also there is a steep stairway to enter the hostel.

This was in an excellent location in Chinatown and within walking distance of many attractions. The hostel host was great to talk with and gave us some excellent recomendations! There were people from many different countries, so it was fun to chat in the common room during the day. The coffee shop on the lower floor was also very nice.

Some of the other travelers were a bit noisy after quiet time. Someone was packing/unpacking/repairing their suitcase in the common room at 1AM one night. Since my bed was against the wall of the common room, it was a bit irritating. But, that's just part of staying at a hostel and when I asked them to quiet down they did.

Location superb bang in the middle of Chinatown Exceptionally clean Toilets and showers are simply spotless (super clean) Comfortable beds Beds have curtains Lockers available complete with a lock The owner was kind enough to let me drop off my bags at 11:00 - no extra charge (very kind) Superb coffee downstairs

There isn't a place to hang out although you do have a small sitting area enough for 4 people but it's amongst the beds. Note: It's all open plan

The hostel is one of the BEST hostels I’ve stayed in. The location of the place is one of the best options for me since all the popular places to visit in Yokohama are all within walking distance from the hostel. When it comes to the hostel, just imagine the cleanliness you can imagine; also, it’s super clean, organized, everything is in order, comfortable, and friendly, and that’s because of the owner or the staff, who really organized and managed everything.( check out my IG: iamlucas.ian) 😁

probably some of the guests who snore so loud wwwww 笑笑笑笑

At first, we were a little worried about the locality and the place, but everything turned around the moment we came into Chillulu ! The staff Ito, was more like family to us .. guiding us throughout our stay, sometimes going out of his way to help us through our travel related issues. The place is cozy with space exactly for a person to sleep in. Also the living space is pretty good to hang out. Only thing is for obvious reasons you can’t make noise after 10:00 PM which is to avoid disturbing others The locality is super close to the motomachi station and you’ve got the departmental stores, combini and more all in close range. In a whole, a 10 for the value for money and +10 for Ito and his wonderful family !! Will definitely return back here if I ever come to Tokyo / Yokohama again

If you want a more hotel room like stay, this is not your place . This is more of a hostel for you to socialise and have fun

I reached out to the place very easily from Haneda airport by taking a bus limousine that stopped just at Yamashita Park. From there, it's just a short walk. The hostel is placed in the Chinese area, full of food shops, and also omyage. At lunchtime, that area becomes quite lively. But at night it's very quite. The hostel is small but with all you need for a short permanence. There are lockers for your bags. You can have a towel and free coffee. The host has been very welcoming, and he also helped me find a bicycle rental so that I could enjoy visiting a big part of Yokohama in a short time. Furthermore, I had a very good sleep.

The hostel boasts a prime location in the vibrant area of Chinatown, just a short stroll from Motomachi-Chukagai railway station. Additionally, it offers proximity to the picturesque Yamashita Park and several other captivating attractions along the way to Minatomirai. Managed by a delightful couple, the hostel provides exceptional hospitality, readily assisting guests with just a simple phone call. Despite its compact size, the space is thoughtfully designed, featuring a cozy seating area and a small kitchen equipped with essential appliances like an electric kettle, microwave, toaster, and induction cooker, along with a selection of useful utensils. Overall, it offers a pleasant and budget-friendly accommodation option.

Everything was very much fine.

The owner was very kind and gave clear explanations during check-in. The hostel is located in Chinatown, which many sightseeing spots and restaurants. I appreciate that a towel was provided at no fee. The bed capsule itself was decently wide. There was a nice lounge for eating, working or chatting. Free drinks were also provided in the afternoon (though I was always visiting so I did not experience it). Concerning transportation, buses and trains are a few minutes away (Motomachi-Chukagai station).

Lockers are small and gathered in a narrow corridor, so try to use yours swiftly. Beds are metallic and light goes through curtains, so I recommend earplugs and possibly a sleeping mask if you are sensitive to light. Only 2 showers and 3 sinks are available, meaning you might have to wait a bit.

The owner is really kind with everybody. He introduce everyone, knows English and Chinese, is interesting by your life and culture. He was really lovely with us ! Perfect location in china town, close to transportation, well isolated from the exterior, with air conditioner. Everything is clean and convenient. The price is really low, I really recommend it !

There is no separation between beds area and kitchen/bathroom area, so you can have noises like air dryer or food smells at midnight or 6AM. Bring ear plugs if needed :)

Chillulu Hostel is in the center of ChinaTown and very close to the underground train station and 10 minute walk from the JR station. If your're hungry like me, food shouldn't be a problem when getting hungry less then a minute there's food everywhere in the block! Shopping mall in Yokohama is 30 minutes walking but its not bad becasue you get to explore Yokohama! Didn't need to buy shampoo when showering cause the tenant's provide what you need other than having your own scrub towel to shower. Water, coffee, banana's is provided. Friendly people all adults and very accommodated. Looking for a spot in Yokohama ChinaTown, I definitely recommend Chillulu Hostel!!

What I didn't like is when visitors who are staying in would not cover their mouth when coughing. I don't want to get sick when traveling to Japan and ruining my vacation.
