Affordable stay option within the quieter part of Hiroshima with clean facilities, friendly staff and convenient location for exploring the local area. Minutes walk to Hiroshima Hondori Shopping Street, nearby convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson and Family Mart) and reasonable travel time from Hiroshima Station (~15 mins on Hiroden Streetcar Tram to Fukuromachi Station and a few mins walk).
Things to be aware of:
- Limited space within dorm for re-organising luggage contents, I'd recommend having essentials in a backpack for easy access and minimise disturbance to other guests.
- Lobby area can get quite warm during the day if you arrive too early as reception won't be available until 4pm, per check-in information once booked.
I could not get a response from this place - Expedia tried for 2 days and reported and still no refund or an apology- did not use the room - Bedbugs can get you sick and will stay with you, and you will bring them wherever you go... avoid it.
An excellent little hostel. Don't let the lack of an entrance put you off - this hostel has a really welcoming open shared Lounge and kitchen area with all the necessary appliances. Each bed comes with a small locker, enough for your valuable possessions as opposed to large bags or suitcases.
You've got to compare it to a pod hotel as the beds are obviously dorms but very clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and happy to help out.
When I was there they were even offering free bed's for anyone who helped out with cleaning and general work jobs. Gutted to have seen this when I had booked my next spot otherwise I would have liked to stay longer.
Friendly staff, everything else here is squeaky clean

Family room is excellent value for money and spacious. The locking system through padlock needs improving as two people tried to enter our room at night off the roof deck, but otherwise a great stay.
Good location to get to Peace Park. Also easy to get to from Hiroshima station by bus. Just short walk from bus stop. Rooms are a bit stuffy. Only a small window in the corner. Plenty of showers. The common areas could be a bit cleaner.
We had booked 2 nights and couldn't get there the first night because of the big typhoon and all trains were cancelled. We called in the morning to advise the guesthouse but still had to pay the full amount for the first night. I understand and at the same time it would have been a nice gesture if they gave us a small discount for the night we couldn't get there.
When we checked in for the 2nd night it was around 1pm and we were told we could only check in in a few hours. I had to insist that because we paid for a first night and didn't use the room, we should be able to check in right away.
The location is very Central to head nightlife and attractions. I loved the common area, and reception was great. Lots of shower rooms and they're pretty spacious. While I had read reviews complaining about the noise, I was in a private room and had no issues. Overall great stay.
Extremely uncomfortable beds, small rooms with nothing in them. You pay for towels even though they say it's included. Extra amenities also cost extra. The lobby area and kitchen isn't well kept, kitchen is also dirty. Bathrooms are disgusting and smell horrible. Please don't waste your time here, it's not worth the money, the rooms are overpriced.
Ok... so the location was excellent. Pretty clean and good common areas. If I had to point out the bad things... it would be, HARD PILLOW, unconfy sleeping and they didnt have other kind. And also, small bed. My height is less than one hundred seventy cms tall and I could touch the edge of the bed with my feet. So keep that in mind if booking here. Despite that, everything was pretty good.
In a really good position. Some
If the staff are not very helpful and the beds are quite uncomfortable but probably good value for money. Towels are not included.
Modern, clean, all you need. Futon mattresses very firm, so if you like a soft bed probably not for you - otherwise I would recommend it. Close to shopping and restaurants as well as peace park.
Very close to the main Street shopping mall, about 10 minutes and close to the famous attractions in Hiroshima! Place was clean, has a kitchen with all the necessary stuff and a nice public area to do studying or whatever you need to do
The hostel is in a good location. Relatively close to the JR bus stops and the tram stops. In the entertainment area so lots of shopping and food around. The hostel was relatively easy to locate, the staff were friendly and helpful. The room, bathroom and showers were very nice and clean. We had a private twin room which was nice. The beds were large but the classic futon style so quite hard and so were the pillows. Overall a nice stay.
walking distance from all the main attractions but quite some distance from the train stations. there are also no jr lines in the city centre so jr pass holders will still have to get separate public transport tickets or use a card.
Excellent hotel with great facilities, only issue was the thin bed but for the price I can’t complain
