"It was absolutely terrible. We paid and booked for March 4th one night and we came, someone else’s things were in the room. We tried to contact the host and it was almost impossible only to find out that they double booked. We are still trying to get a refund!! "

"Very clean establishment. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The shower is clean with shampoo and shower gel provided. Modern Japanese toilets. Hard beds are on the smaller side.
Two streets from a metro station and one street from a convenience store. Walking distance from Shinjuku.
Definitely worth the price."

While the facilities are dated, the cleanliness and service is top notch. Being so close to Shinjuku Station is so convenient and makes Sunroute Plaza the perfect base for a stay in Tokyo. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I visit Japan

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Hotel NIWA. As a solo traveller, this is a lovely, safe area. Although I felt safe overall in all locations.
After much research I chose Hotel NIWA as I love the serenity here. It’s so peaceful, away from the busyness & the crowds, however a great location, close to all with such great transportation & so many fabulous dining options close by. The food is fabulous here.
The service standards are excellent. I found all staff so friendly, courteous & so helpful....

This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Both times as a family of 5 staying in 1 room.
We didn’t spend much time in the room or hotel other than to sleep but it was spacious and well appointed.
The hotel is very close to 4 stations and only a short walk to Tokyo Dome and with plenty of eating places close by.

Really good hotel in a great location a short walk from the JR station at Ikebukuro. The area around the hotel and station has a number of department stores and hundreds of small shops, bars, restaurants and everything you would need during your stay.
The JR line is the main line that does a loop around most of the places in Tokyo you would want to visit plus there are a few other lines that have a stop at this station.

This was a very conveniently located, reasonably priced hotel in Tokyo that was clean, friendly and had everything you could need. The onsen/ofuro baths were lovely.
My only issue is, as with many hotels in Japan, they try to force you to check in at a kiosk. I like the personal touch of a check in desk, and had to go to one anyway because of my foreign passport. I want to live world where I still get checked in by real people and I should have been given the choice.

What to say about Imano,
Imano is hands down a standards setter for hostels.
The rooms are immaculately clean.
The staff are incredibly helpful and willing.
The bathrooms are immaculately clean.
The bar/cafe is fantastic.
The 24hour reception is a great idea.
I stayed here three times in the space of two weeks because it was that good.

Slightly out of the bright lights Tokyo, lovely and quiet with a train station close by. The hotel was amazing from the moment we stepped inside, and the breakfast’s were incredible. Can’t rate this place enough and was easily the best hotel we’ve stayed in ever.
