Hostels di Tokyo

This hotel was a pleasant surprise for my trip in Tokyo. It is located within 10-15 minutes on foot to a busy JR and metro station. Also, there are many eateries, shops and supermarkets nearby, in fact, there was a “Family mart” just a stone throw away. It is a very convenient area to base yourself while visiting Tokyo.  Although the flat allowed you to experience the micro-living in Japan first hand, it had everything I needed to keep my stay very comfortable, the landlord even had washing liquid ready for use if I needed the washing machine. There were stove and utensils for cooking a light breakfast or supper. In short, I would have no hesitation to go back there if I visit Tokyo again soon, it was just very difficult to pick any fault with the place……Although it would be extra helpful if the check out time is pushed back to 11am, rather than 10am. Overall, very lovely stay.    

Overall, I had a good stay at Global Hotel Tokyo because of its excellent location. It's in the heart of Koreatown and within walking distance of restaurants, convenience stores, train stations, and other attractions. However, the capsule/cubicle room can get quite warm. The fan installed inside each cubicle wasn't enough to keep it cool, especially at night. Another downside is that hair dryers cannot be used before 7:00 AM or after 11:00 PM, which may be inconvenient for guests with early flights or late arrivals. If you prioritize location over amenities, this is still a good budget-friendly option.

Semuanya sempurna, kecuali terdapat beberapa orang yang tidak berpendidikan yang membuat bising menonton YouTube sekitar jam 3 pagi. Hanya bawa penyumbat telinga, dan anda sudah bersedia. Lokasinya hebat. Bilik mandi berkongsi sangat bersih, anda tidak akan berasa tidak selesa.

Service in Imano Tokyo Hostel is fantastic. Even though I checked in late at 4 a.m., the staff still stood at the reception counter. As a result, it would be no problem if you arrive during midnight. Bathrooms, public area, and bedroom are cleaned everyday, so it is no need to worry about the sanitation problem. However, there’s only one downside of this hostel, which is the poor soundproofing. It door is very thin, I can hear the talking from people in public area clearly, and sometimes even wake me up when I already fall asleep.

I liked this place. A pretty standard classic capsule hotel: sizeable capsule with a console, daily turnover service, large shower and onsen room with an attached steam room. Service was good: they have an army of twinks working there after hours, it was like being checked in by BTS. All issues I had with my capsule (broken lightbulb) were addressed quickly and cheerfully. Sometimes it kinda seemed like they were laughing at a few of the foreign guests, but you know what, fair. This place is kinda rules heavy, with lots of notices posted around the property. There is no eating or drinking in the capsules, and instead you have to go to this common area that feels a bit like a hospice for abandoned uncles. Vending machines, manga library, smoking cubicles, that sorta thing. Clean and tidy though, equal numbers of dudes using it for remote working and day drinking (I have a feeling that some ppl live in this place). They have the usual elaborate system of lockers and keys, but they will store your luggage for you while you are out. No need to check out in the day. Overall a chill experience. While I was staying there though some dude did have a mini breakdown about what he saw as it's shortcomings, so I just wanted to comment on that. According to him the place was disgusting. He was especially perturbed by the housekeeping service and the showers. His claim was the the toilets were dirty and that it was unacceptable to fold bedsheets on the floor. Mind you, he was having this rant at 10:30 - checkout is at 10:00, meaning that a whole stampede of airport-bound weebs had just taken spicy ramen fuelled power dumps so they could get out of there on time. Most of the day the facilities were pretty spotless in my opinion. In regards to folding the bedsheets on the floor, I dunno what in the Disney princess he was expecting, but there really isn't anywhere else to do it. I think it's unreasonable to expect little doves to come fly your linens into your capsule tbh. The capsules are literally on... the floor! What do you want? His overall complaint that the space was generally messy was a lot more valid. At this point I had a suspicion that they kind of segregated foreigners from Japanese customers. It's true, that the foreign floor was a bit of a tip - luggage thrown around, empty bottles everywhere, garbage. I went up to the Japanese floors to snoop around a bit. Spotless. (Pictures of both included for comparison) In this case I think the call is coming from inside the capsule, not really fair to hold the staff accountable to your own messy manners. His final gripe was about the showers - specifically the lack of private cubicles. Private cubicles were not advertised anywhere and Japanese onsens are pretty standardly communal spaces, so again I dunno what he wanted. Maybe a shower, with a curtain? Maybe a shower with a door? Maybe a shower with a psychic forcefield that would make his ex girlfriends forget his underwhelming junk and prevent his father from behind disappointed in him? I'm not sure. But I guess the dozen shower stations with soap, shampoo, and face wash weren't cutting it. In fact a lot of the Western guests seemed pretty pranged out by the shower situation, waiting until like two am to wash up and then scurrying around the baths with a hand towel infront of their package like a little purse. If you regret going bald, that's on you. Kinda silly, but if you are bashful maybe this also isn't the hotel for you. Unreasonable though to blame the establishment for you own shame. Anyway, that's all to say the worst part of my stay was for sure the ranting and raving from an unshowered backpacker while I was trying to have a lie in. Otherwise a pretty decent stay.

It was a nice hostel. I had a private room and there was breakfast in the morning. They are selling a Tokyo subway pass in the reception, which was great. You can also sit outside. It is great when it is warm inside or when it is raining. Unfortunately the next building was renovated, so noise in the morning.

Location not the best unless you don’t mind walking 10-15 mins. Same floor with all dorms - female, male, mixed and toilet is not control by card, anyone can go in. Think about it at midnight bathing to worry a drunker to come in (it’s Shibuya, come on. Famous for drinking) Many local drinking bars outside the road on the way to hostel. This is good. Have lift for the rooms but no lift outside so I have to carry my luggage to few stairs to reach reception (after 15 mins walking from Shibuya station green line) omg I don’t mind to stay again if I only have a backpack.

Easy to find the hotel and you have to use elevator (no stairs) to the 3rd floor then easy and fast check in. Once you get locker key and go to your locker to get your pajamas, towels and disposable slippers. Be careful with slippers you can easily slip down if you’re not being careful. Too hot in the capsule so you gotta open half blinds to let cool air in your capsule. I haven’t tried the onsen. Great for one night, solo friendly and affordable budget

I wrote a longer review of this place that covers the basics. After I ended a business trip I decided to stay on in Tokyo so just rebooked at this spot on the app. It seems like the staff here run bookings mostly with a hand written ledger --- when I mentioned to them I was staying longer they just made a note of it and then left me a message when it was confirmed, very chill. Overall the staff at this place were pretty great. I was there for two weeks and in the time I was there I saw maybe like ten different people working there. As an English speaker, sometimes there was a language barrier, but it was never really a problem, and there is clear signage about all of the most important policies all over the place in English, Korean, and Chinese. It was always a friendly experience, most of the ppl working there were older with a kind of caring auntie vibe, so that was fun. At one point I asked to move bunks because a guy on my floor was super sick, and they arranged it with no hassle or fuss, which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend this place for the staff.

This was my second time staying here, and I had another great experience! The location is very convenient, the capsules are clean and comfortable, and the facilities are well maintained. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back again.👍🏼
