The accommodation was perfect for the price. Comfortable bunk beds, great shower, clean, hot and strong pressure. Other guests were quite and considerate. We had a private 4 bed dorm for our family. Convience store very close by, yummy breakfast to buy, good atmosphere in the reception area/cafe. Small laundry facility with directions to a bigger one if you need to wash more. We had a great stay, walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars.

One of the best for this type of accommodation.

Very good for this type of accommodation. More social than many other hostels, but open bunks and lack of lockers come with the usual issues of having a very loud snorer in your room or someone who spreads their mess of stuff around the limited floor space. The place could use a good refresh of the facilities like a coat of paint, but overall I rate the place highly. Due to the staff. They were excellent, very knowledgeable in providing pleasant top notch service and support for anything. Would stay here again if my preferred type of accommodation (full height cabin style pods) was not available again elsewhere.

There are multiple Imano Hostels in Tokyo. I accidentally went to the Imano Hostel in Ginza instead of the one I had booked. However, they were very helpful with rebooking and cancellation, and I really appreciated their assistance. Thank you very much.

Convenient and clean location (~5 min walk to Shinjuku Sanchome Station, 1 train stop from main Shinjuku Station), nearby convenience stores (Lawson, 7-Eleven and Family Mart), staff very friendly and helpful. Really appreciated allowing me to have my packages delivered to the hostel. Moderate sized cafe/working area in the lobby. A slight commercial feel given the volume of beds on each level, fair given the proximity to the CBD.
