The location is perfect; right on the main shopping street with a stunning view of Mount Fuji. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure everything went smoothly. The building itself is well-equipped with everything you need and kept very clean.
We stayed in the annex building (not the main building), where the walls are quite thin and sound travels easily. There's a sliding door with a keypad code entry, and every time our neighbors came in during the middle of the night, we'd be woken up by the loud noise of the door opening.

OMG, what a gem! The friendliest staff ever makes you instantly feel like home. It is a clean, warm and cozy place. We were sent to the annex building which is even more adorable than the main building. Breakfast at the co-operated FabCafé, booked through the hostel, is also highly recommended. A big plus is the proximity to the Akayarama Sengen Park. We visited it twice during our stay: for sunset (be there an hour early) and for sunrise (we left at 4:30). You gotta see this! Fujisan is covered in mist and clouds most of the day, but for sunset and sunrise you should have a great view from Chureito Pagoda. It is just a 10 min. walk from the hostel and then the famous 400 steps. We shall send all of our friends to Saruya Hostel! You are amazing! A big thank you!

It was very nice and confy, I loved the wooden location and to sleep on the tatami.

This was one of my favourite hotels in Japan.
It was very cosy, with a traditional style and it was close to all the attractions. I wish I could have stayed more.
Everything was perfect, they take care of all the small details.
