Imano Tokyo Hostel

It was too noisy... I consider myself someone who can sleep anywhere as soon as my head hits the pillow, but here I woke up almost every hour. First, there were white women chatting in the common area, then people in my room rustling through their luggage, then doors opening and closing. I feel like the door locks and the ability to bring luggage into the room aren't very well thought out. The location is great, about ten minutes from Shinjuku Station. However, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have an exceptionally high tolerance for noise. 🥲

The ladders are wide and easy to climb. There's a spacious common living room on the floor, which is very comfortable for relaxing. Each room accommodates several people and has its own password lock, offering great security. There are plenty of restrooms and two shower rooms. Some restrooms even come with a sink and mirror, which is really convenient. The service was very gentle and excellent, and there's a Chinese staff member at the front desk. The downside is that it's a bit far from the subway station, almost a kilometer away. However, it's surrounded by Shinjuku's commercial areas, making it great for evening strolls.
