Great bar on the main floor but a massive 7/11 right next door.
Chanhee
Good for a short term. Not very well maintained or organised.
Enrico Michael
Rooms was clean,staff friendly,walking distance to everything
Jackson
Very clean and well maintained hostel. Very friendly staff
Karlo
The staffs were very friendly anytime of the day.
The only thing I’m not a fan of were renting out towels for 200 yen and making your own bed on your first day (I was at the top bunk). But no biggy. People were nice here. You’d see the staff really deep cleaning the bathrooms and showers too. You can also always go the cafe for drinks and they also have food. If you’re in a budget, Lawson and 7/11 are very close - maybe less than 5 minute walk. Easy walk to the station too.

We had a family room. Space was good, except toilet and bathroom were shared. No towels provided so bring your own or pay 200yen for one. Need to make your own m bed as the hostel will provide the sheets and mattresses. Mattress was thin and not the most comfortablw. Plus side, very new SHINJUKU!!
Jay
Imano is a cozy, well run hostel that is impeccably clean. The beds are comfortable. The women only floor is secured with a lovely common area and a fridge.
Imano was the first hostel i ever visited 3 years ago and i will gladly visit again.
With the money you save staying here you can head to the super sento (3 mins walk) and relax after the day walking Tokyo.
Closest station exit is Shinjuku sanchome E1 which also has an elevator (close to golden gai).

Great hotel
Tibyan Mohammed
Stayed here for one night and it exceeded my expectations. When you walk in, the front desk staff is very friendly and the cafe vibe is so fun. I stayed on the female 3rd floor and it was so clean and a great vibe. There’s plenty of bathroom and showers so that was never a problem.
They sell basic amenities for an extremely low price. Towel, pjs, tooth brush and toothpaste all for less than $6 USD and free slippers.
The bunks have good mattresses and the AC is very good. There’s a fridge in every dorm area but there’s a more equipped kitchen on the 5th floor. Great location for late night eats and close to all the fun and shopping. Thank you for everything Imano Hostel! (:

The best hostel I stayed at in Tokyo, very nice area would recommend
Emily
This is definitely hostel-style lodging, but it is perfectly adequate for the price you're paying. The beds were quite comfortable! I happened to be with respectful roommates so it was very quiet. It was clean and in a very convenient location.
We arrived early and they were willing to store our luggage until check-in.

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.

A friendly hostel in the heart of things. Our family dorm was spartan but comfortable and the desk staff were helpful.
Maria
For the price you pay the location is superb and the staff is so lovely! I stayed here for 2 weeks, which is a long time to stay at a hostel, and I was comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much!
Anna
The service was good and I liked the people. Good affordable option, might possibly stay again. Good location, right near Golden Gai and Shinjuku station
Tae Jun

Takako
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.
Brian
I love how affordable and convenient the place is.
David
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.

A pesar de que el espacio del cuarto era muy reducido las camas eran cómodas y todas las áreas muy limpias, los chicos de recepción súper amables
Daniel
Close to subway and Shinjuku nightlife. Plenty of bathrooms and shower stalls, I never had to wait to use anything.
Seiko
フロントのみならずバスの運転手さんも含めスタッフのみなさんが笑顔で 気持ちよく対応して頂きました。
ハワイから来たので、日本の温泉初めての我が家の子供達も大満足のお風呂でした。私としては広告だらけでちょっと疲れる内装でしたが。
レストランの朝ごはんを美味しく頂きました。九人という大人数でのテーブル準備もすぐにして頂きました。
徒歩圏内で簡単に行けるレストランがないことが減点理由ですが、その分バスのルートもスケジュールも充実していることは特筆に値すると思います。
どうも有難う御座いました。

Great location, and clean common areas. It may be spartan--it's a hostel after all--but It's one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in, and the price is outstanding. And I LOVED that every bed has its own set of outlets to recharge those phones/tablets/portable WiFi's.

This hostel doesn't provide towel even if you stay longer. You have to rent the towel with additional cost. The staff here insist not to provide the towel after asked so many times.

I prefer this hostel than some capsule hotel because you have more room to move about and there are privacy as every bed has curtains. Nice amenities but the hairdryer is not free to use. Very clean and I like the idea of common area at entrance where you can hang out and socialise with other solo travellers. Good tight security with the door.

Suitable for Families too.
The staff spoke good English and were helpful. We had a whole room to our family of 2 adults + 4 kids + 1 baby so all was good. :)

Friendly and functional
The customer service here was exceptional, the people at the front desk were so friendly and fun too. There was a basic breakfast of tea, coffee, toast and cereal in the communal space where I met some really nice and interesting people also staying at the hostel.
The room beds were comfy, but the noise does travels s it is a concrete building, so I would recommend earplugs.
There was a social area on the floor I was staying on as well with showers and toilets. All very clean.

Everything was good for the price except WiFi was slow and the mattress was too thin. Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean restrooms and showers. In the heart of shinjuku, very close to golden gai, shinjuku-sanchome station, etc.

Great hostel, clean and friendly
Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. Location is good, not far from the subway and the Shinjuku madness. As with all the hostels I've used in Japan, the place is extremely clean, and wifi works really well. The cafe is a nice little hangout place with good food and happy hour from 5-7 (draft beer JPY390). Lockers are in the common area outside the room (free to use but JPY1000 key deposit). The street outside, and the hostel, both pretty quiet at night. Definitely would recommend.

Best hostel I've been to!
This was probably the nicest hostel I ever stayed in! Everything was very clean, and I think the simple but stylish design definitely helped it feel so.
Although there's bunkbeds I've not had a problem once with anyone shaking the bed. I was staying in the men's floor and there was a bath as well as two showers, and although it might seem like there's quite a few people able to stay on each floor, I've never had a problem with washing.
The breakfast is a toasty, granola and tea or coffee, etc, so maybe not the kind of breakfast buffet people may expect, but it's nice nonetheless, and there is a convenience store right down the corner!
The staff was super nice and helpful. I tried to practice some Japanese with them personally, but they speak English very well. Probably the best English speaking people I've met on the entire trip!
As far as I've seen they're all young people and are very friendly.
Lastly, the area is very good. There is a metro station in walking distance (3-5minutes) and even though the hotel is in Shinjuku and close to nightlife, it's also right outside all the bustle and junk of nightime Shinjuku which I really appreciated.
The only downside was not having a secure place to leave my luggage. I've been able to leave it at a friends' airbnb, and I doubt anyone there would've stolen it, but if you really want the extra security I'd say find a place you can leave your bigger luggage away, because the place is definitely worth a stay!

Angus
The staff were very nice and that was the only positive thing about this hostel. Unfortunately the interaction with the staff is very low so I would have preferred rude staff and nice hostel versus nice staff and not so nice hostel. In the six people room there was very little space in the bed, I had to place all my electronics on the bed because the hostel didn't provide any additional shelving space. Additionally it was very dusty and the walls were very creepy with holes and cracks everywhere

Nice location near ni-chome, convenient enough to get around the rest of Tokyo. Staff were super friendly and highlight of the stay, with facilities clean and much better than many other hostels i've stayed in.

The property was situated in a great location - close to the heart of Shinjuku. The train station was a brisk 10-15minute walk with key hubs such as the Golden Gai and shopping streets an easy walk. The staff were excellent and very friendly. The cleanliness for a hostel was second to none. I would comeback in a heartbeat and highly recommend to anyone looking at hostels in Tokyo.

Great location but very uncomfortable bed and pillow. Barely slept because of the discomfort, the rooms are also very narrow and small.

Located around the outer Shinjuku area, this hostel enables you to visit the main area within minutes. The front desk seconds as a cafe and bar, and the hostel hosts an event night every night. My room was shared with 10 other guests capsule style. Space was manageable but it can get quite tight at times. Showers were great, providing strong water pressure and as much hot water as you wanted. The toilets in general were very clean during my stay.
Imano Hostel definitely exceeded my expectations, and for the price is an excellent choice.

Very nice stuff but the mattress was in a group
LJ
The beds could be comfier: I could still feel the wood pallets underneath the futon or thin mattress they had and woke up with aching lower back pain. I love the common area in each floor since it's where I mostly hung out in the evenings and got to chat with other ladies (I was in the females only floor). Overall, I love the layout of this hostel and would definitely return here.

Shinjuku’s ideal hostel
Second time staying, and the staff, after 3years of time between stays, were still fantastic and friendly!
If anyone ever needs a well priced hostel within 10 mins of central Shinjuku, then Imano is ideal

Small room which block by wall concrete
1. The corner room provided to me is much more smaller than other, almost half of the room space blocked by the wall concrete. It is too hard to come down or go up from the stair and you can easily fall down!!!!! (head blocked by the air condition and ceiling). I almost fall down and my new shirts hook and tear by the stairs because of the limited space. The lower deck guess told me that previous guess also felled down before I check in. This kind of corner space shouldn't rent out to guess.
2. All the safety boxes on my floor are locked for no reason, I informed the staff but he told me go to next floor safety boxes, what kind of solution is this? Doesn't bring any convenience to me.
3. Lack of toiletries and amenities.
4. Noisy guesses which make noise at late night.

Small but central
Super small room, but great service and superb area! Quite expensive considering what you get, but as it's Tokyo I still think this is an alright hotel. Shared bathrooms aren't for everyone though! The café in the entrance is super cozy!

Great Value and friendly
The staff at this hostel was very friendly and accommodating. If you fly in before checkin they will hold your bags if you want to hit the ground running without dragging it all over town. Breakfast was well worth the $6 and they make a nice cup of joe. The facilities were well kept and all the furnishings looked new. The only thing I feel could be improved was the mattress. It is pretty thin, however I just slept on top of the comforter and was fine. Also there are two stations and convenience stores close by. This hostel is well worth your time.

Hostel that ticks the boxes
- front staff are welcoming and happy to help including with directions!
- 6 bed dorms are quite small, with hardly enough room for bags. Bags are kept next to bed in walkway which for a person at the end of the room, you will have to jump over everyone's stuff and keep excusing yourself
- 4 (or 5?) dorms of 6 share the bathrooms. There are a few showers and toilets but you may have to wait a while during peak periods to get a shower
- I was in all female dorm, and there is signs saying female only and that there is security monitoring. However some girls brought boys in and there was not any security to monitor this. Each bunk only has curtains around it so not sound proof or private and people did get asked to be quiet .
- the area is only a short walk to food shops and family mart. There is a JR line close by but take note of which entrance you go in because the station is huge and easy to get lost if you go out of different entrance.
- overall, hostel is clean with what you need and a good spot to get around tokyo from

Jack
Convenient location in Shunjuku, and decent value for money. The hostel has limited character. The rooms and facilities are functional and clean enough, but nothing too exciting. Good base for exploring Tokyo, but not a hostel where you're likely to want to spend a lot of time.
Robin
Great location, all-around good hostel
Great location, good rooms (although not very spacious and can be noisy due to other guests), surprisingly comfortable pillows. Showers were okay, not amazing. Staff was nice and helpful. No free toiletries or towels, as far as I could tell.
Nothing is extraordinary but the location + the fact that everything is good enough, really sells this. I extended my stay by one night because of how convenient it was and how nice the staff were.

Great stay right next to heart of Shinjuku
Great hostel! Very clean and comfortable. Have curtains on the bed so pretty private. Really enjoyed my stay! Though it's a little harder to meet people I would say at this hostel because they don't really have a large kitchen (have a cafe in the lobby instead) but not a big deal! Very nice and helpful staff.

really nice hostel!
everything was so good. but the shortness is the mood of hostel. the mood is only yourself, not together. however the other is really nice and it is more close with Shinjuku-Sanchome station than Shinjuku station.

clean safe and cozy spot , home away from home!
I will sum up the experience ; staff were amazing facilities clean and open access at all times . I was sonimpressed I was first time to Japan and ever in a hostel and felt Like I was missing out on the best travelling experience ! They make an effort to include you in fun social events or help you find any activity you might want to try ! Excellent ambassadors for travelling Japan - they are expanding into Kyoto and Osaka ---- cannot wait to come back and spread the love 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Decent place to stay, has room for improvement.
Having stayed in Japanese hostels, my expectation has increased significantly - in general, Japanese hostels are a solid tier above Western hostels.
Cleanliness: 3.3/5 (room), 4/5 (bunk)
Fresh sheets, decent bunk. Clean toilets which is fantastic. The room itself has an unpolished concrete floor so flip flops may be needed.
Customer service: 5/5
The staff is friendly and willing to help. No complaints. Hostel security looks fine.
Bed comfort: 3.5/5
Not the most comfortable for a bunk bed but it's decent enough for a short stay.
Facilities: 3.5/5
Decent breakfast (extra charge, 600 yen), safe boxes outside the room provided (extra charge only if key is lost) There is a bit of social element that the staff tries to incentivise (eg/ origami night, games night). No drunkards, bad smell or altercations). Location is pretty good in Shinjuku, it is close to the city but not enough to drown itself in city noises - safe place, far from the shady places like Kabukicho (try not to walk around too late around this place).
Feedback to the Owners:
No major deal breakers. A polished floor would be more comfortable and cleaner. It would be better if the safe box is in our bunk for convenience and privacy. Bed upgrades!

Hostel with great location
hostel is a 10 minute walk to shinjuku station. 5 minute walk to a temple and 1 minute walk to a 7/11. I would say the bed comfort is pretty bad and the showers are cramped. No locker or storage for your suitcase. Beds are noisy and if the other roommates are dirty the whole room will be smelly. At the end though you get what you pay for and you most likely won't be spending a lot of time there so..yeah that's all I have.

A++ Hostel!!
You should stay here!! The staff are friendly and Helpful!! The only thing is they don't store luggage.

Pros:
Convenient location. Near Shinjuku-sanchōme subway station. Many convenient stores nearby.
Clean rooms, beds, toilets and shower rooms on the floor.
There are enough toilets and shower rooms. Never saw people queuing for one.
The water pressure of the shower is excellent. There is also a bath so that guests can experience the Japanese bath.
My room is at the end of the floor so there are space for us to open luggage.
Change of clean beddings is offered if you stay for 4 nights or more.
Nice staff.
Smooth check-in and check-out.
Suggestions:
It would be prefect if there are water dispensers with cold and hot water on each floor. Guests can only get hot water from the kitchen on 5/F and get iced water from lobby. For me who prefer warm water that is a bit troublesome haha.

Conveniently located hostel
It's not a bad hostel at all, but it was definitely the worst I stayed at in Japan. The main issue was with noise in the room. Every night I was there there was noise late at night, like 1am. I think maybe extra signage would help. A lot of other places had more sound/light proofing than a thin curtain which did not help. I also had issues with roommates leaving blood tissues etc on my stuff. The place doesn't have a great atmosphere compared to others, the only communal area is literally the cafe, and you can't eat external food anywhere. The staff also couldn't locate my mail I pre-arranged to have sent to them so I missed out on a data device I was paying for daily for a whole day which was annoying. Great location only 10 or so minutes from Shinjuku attractions and good transport links. I recommend the Japanese breakfast.

Didn't have the chance to try their cafe. Service was good. Will be better if there were more shower rooms

Poor sound proof
You could hear the voice of people chatting outside your room. There are always inconsiderate people talking loudly in the common area even after 11pm.
Rooms are very small.
I would not stay in this hostel again.
