My stay at Imano Hostel was quite enjoyable. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the Shinjuku-Sanchome Station and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The rooms were clean, but a bit cramped, especially with luggage. The service was helpful, and I appreciated the strong Wi-Fi throughout the hostel. One downside was that the atmosphere felt a bit lacking for meeting new people, but overall, I found good value for my money here.

I had a great stay at Imano Tokyo Hostel! The location was fantastic, just a quick walk from the metro, and the facilities were modern and clean. The breakfast was simple but satisfying for the price. However, the kitchen lacked items like cutlery and plates, which made things a bit inconvenient. Overall, it provided a solid value for the cost of staying in Tokyo.

The hostel has a fantastic central location in Shinjuku, making it easy to explore the area. The cleanliness of the place and the comfort of the beds were definite highlights. However, the atmosphere for meeting other travelers was lacking, and some staff members were not as helpful as I expected. Overall, it’s a solid choice for budget travelers, but it could improve on creating a more social environment.

My stay at the hostel was quite enjoyable due to its fantastic location near Shinjuku SanChome Station and various eateries. The rooms were adequate for the price, featuring privacy curtains and charging stations, although they felt a bit cramped with multiple guests. The service was helpful and reliable, especially at the front desk. However, the atmosphere could have been more social, and the communal areas didn't facilitate meeting other travelers well.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the location in Shinjuku is fantastic and the privacy in the dorms was a nice touch, the overall cleanliness didn’t quite meet my expectations based on the photos. The service was acceptable but not particularly helpful at times, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it’s a decent choice if you're on a budget and appreciate a vibrant area.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the subway station, making it easy to explore Tokyo. While the rooms were clean and well-maintained, the communal facilities were lacking, especially the kitchen. I appreciated the friendly staff who were always ready to help, but the atmosphere was a bit dull due to the absence of a common room. Overall, it’s a good option if you're on a budget, but there are definitely areas that could use improvement.

Imano Hostel is a great pick for its convenient location near shopping and restaurants, and the Wi-Fi was impressively fast. The rooms can be a bit cramped for larger groups, but it was overall a clean and decent experience. The shared bathrooms were tidy as well, but having to rent a towel might be a downside for some travelers. I'd definitely stay again due to the value it offers.
