A place where no matter what happens, they will tear it down and stop you. I made a reservation for 3 nights and left in one day.It smells and is seriously unmaintained. I thought everything in Japan was clean, but there are places this dirty...I have to rent a shower towel for 200 yen, but the traces of menstrual blood remain blurry.Please don't come here, but go to the nearby Sotetsu Fresana Apa Hotel. The difference is a few thousand won.Trying to save money, I ended up booking another hotel nearby and wasted two nights.

The business of Imano hostel is very good, many backpackers check in every day, and the employees are very polite and friendly. Luggage can be temporarily stored in the lobby on the first floor. There is an elevator. The room types here include 2-person, 4-person, and 6-person rooms. Because I have extensive experience staying in other hostels before, the thing I fear most about sharing a room with other strangers is that "the roommates will snore." It really makes me snore all night long. No need to sleep! So this time I chose a 4-person room (bunk beds, mixed gender room). At least there will be fewer people, and the chance of encountering "snoring roommates" will also be reduced. The bathroom must be shared with other people. Free shower gel, shampoo and conditioner are provided in the bathroom. Free hand soap and hair dryer are provided in the toilet. The environment is very clean, and cleaning staff will clean it once every day during the day. You don’t have to expect much better bed facilities when staying in such an economical hostel, but my basic personal requirement is to have a clean and quiet environment where I can take a shower and sleep, and this Imano hostel has it all. The closest place nearby is the Age 3 fried sandwich shop, which is only a 3-minute walk away (but I personally don’t think it’s that delicious at all😅, I wish I had tried it. I kept having gastroesophageal reflux after eating it, and it was very painful) Uncomfortable and unable to sleep at night), there is another recently famous coffee shop, Turret Coffee, which is within a 10-minute walk. It is really delicious and I went there twice😊. It takes a little longer to walk to the city or department stores (Mitsukoshi, Ginza Six), about 15-18 minutes.

The hotel and staff were friendly and the room was clean. I was happy to stay here for 4 nights. I didn't get to have breakfast in the morning because I didn't pay ahead for it, so I had to go to Family Mart.

Tedious online registration by scanning a QR code. Room for 2 very small, you can barely open your 2 suitcases, but comfortable futons.Breakfast choice quite limited but overall good. Pleasant common area for customers.Recommended for a night or 2, no more.

I used it for work. If you just want to sleep, the price is reasonable and a great deal. There is also a women-only floor, so I felt safe using it.
