Hiroshima Hostellit

Plussat: The location is about 5 minutes from Hiroshima station; perfect for dropping your bags and going siteseeing.

Miinukset: The lighting in the room is by sensor, so every moment in the ground the lights turn on for about 5 minutes. They should add lighting in each capsule instead and dim lighting at night for the common area. The air ventslation was poor, they should add a controlled air source in each bunk. Located next to street and can hear noises.

Plussat: It is very stylish and the people are very nice. The kitchen and dining space is very nice.

Miinukset: The mattress is quite fluffy. I don't like it but that's different for everyone.

Plussat: Beds were fantastic, common space was very nice. Coffee bar downstairs.

Miinukset: Although very hygienic showers were a bit small.

Plussat: I love the interior of the hostel, it is aesthetically pleasing. The use of wooden furniture gives a homey vibes. The room is clean and the bed is comfy. They have a laundry section in each room which helps a lot and its pretty cheap! Not only that, they are super close to the Hiroshima Station!

Miinukset: The bed size is quite small, the light is dim, and there is only 2 bathroom. The bathroom also a bit small which every time I bath, i will bump into the wall :(

Plussat: everyone was very kind and the beds were super comfy

Miinukset: nothing in particular!

Plussat: The staff here are SO nice; they helped us find a doctor and also a hairdresser! The lady in the cafe is really kind and makes delicious food. The style of the interior design is cool and everything is super clean!

Miinukset: Nothing! Such excellent value for money!

Plussat: This guesthouse is absolutely incredible. 3 min from the station, perfect for a heavy backpack. Everything is new and sleeping in the wooden capsules is just amazing. The wooden smell is great and the bed is sooooo comfortable. I also like that the female dorm has its own area with lavatories, showers etc where no men can enter. On top: the breakfast at the café is the best i had in japan- so delicious. It‘s not included but there are vegan and gf options! i would always come again!

Plussat: Everything is just perfect and the staff is super nice.

Miinukset: There nothing I didn't like

Plussat: The crew was very helpful. Really close to the train station.

Plussat: This hostel is in a great location, walking distance to the Peace Memorial Park and to the tram line. The staff were friendly and the hostel very clean with good facilities.

Miinukset: There was no ventilation in the common bathroom spaces, showers and hallways on our floor so it was incredibly hot there, particularly when taking a shower. The shower on our floor also had very high water pressure which couldn’t be adjusted so wasn’t the best experience. Having said this though, I wouldn’t let this stop me staying here as there are many more pros.

Plussat: Spacious rooms, comfortable beds, incredibly clean, amazing location, and incredibly friendly staff that speak amazing English!

Miinukset: The room had a persistent and weird smell, and the walls were VERY thin - it felt like the people next to us were in the same room! Only an issue if your neighbours are loud, which ours weren’t! Hostel also provides free ear plugs!

Miinukset: No wardrobe. No english breakfast.

Plussat: Very well-located next to Hiroshima peace memorial park (5min walk), very friendly English speaking staff, good traveling and sightseeing information

Plussat: Location and staff

Plussat: Great location! It's very close to the Peace Memorial Park, so exploring the area was very easy for me. Closest streetcar stop is Dobashi, and there are trips to Miyajimaguchi from there. The staff is very friendly, too. Easy check-in and check-out. Didn't get to see their other facilities as I only stayed there to shower and sleep.

Miinukset: I visited in the middle of summer, and with eight guests staying in one room with thick enough partitions to provide privacy, it was just too hot. Some of the guests, including me, opted to sleep with the curtains drawn to allow more air in.

Plussat: Location and the staff :)

Miinukset: Little bit old, but comfy enough

Plussat: Probably the best hostel I've stayed in in Japan. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Laundry area available. Spacious sleeping area, cozy lounge area with a dining space and kitchen. Fairly good location near peace memorial.

Plussat: Really close to the Peace Park area and clean comfortable Japanese style rooms.

Plussat: The staff very good in english

Miinukset: They mix bathroom for male and female, it's uncomfortable

Plussat: + Comfy dorm (capsule style with curtain, plug, shelf and hanger) Wi-fi and AC Roomy and cosy common area Friendly staff Good location (near the peace park and restaurant/bar area)

Miinukset: - Showers on a different floor. Due to a typhoon my bus to Hiroshima has been cancelled, like all buses and trains, so there was NO WAY for me to get to Hiroshima on my check in date. I contacted them asa i knew about that which was 48h before but they refused to waive the cancelation fee. I had booked 2 nights so i went there the day after since the typhoon was gone. The hostel is nice but this story sounds just like excessive greed to me (you can whatever you want in a policy but flexibility and understanding should rule first).

Plussat: A generally good setup in a good place at good value.

Miinukset: Small stuff. Absolutely hated the pillows, can't really put it in words... large, lumpy, sinisterly uncomfortable. Library didn't have anything in the way of english book. I left my copy of The Martian there hope it helps :)

Plussat: Communal space (Kitchen with living room) was great!!! Nice interior and atmosphere

Miinukset: Bedroom was little, not so clean, only one open sheet for the blanket which also was not fresh

Plussat: Very very close to peace memorial, bomb dome, children’s memorial

Miinukset: Pretty expensive for such a basic stay. We stayed in a private room and it is quite a big space but only has a bed and small desk inside - not even a lamp. The beds were so hard it would have been comfier to sleep on the ground. When we were trying to leave our bags upon early arrival there was no one at the desk. Turned out the guy working the front desk was just sitting in the common room at the dining table with his friends Something else that was a bit annoying- we hung our wet clothes in the only place available to dry - the balcony and it is a designated smoking area so all our clothes ended up smelling like an ashtray. Obviously this is our own fault but a design flaw by them putting these two things in the same space (there are also dryers available)

Plussat: convenient location but a bit far from the stations so be prepared to carry your bags a long way. Place is quiet and nice and has a lot of friendly people. Super close to many tourist destinations

Miinukset: far from any transportation stations

Plussat: It was clean and I liked the location, because it was nearer to places like bars and restaurants than other accommodations I've been to.

Plussat: Very sociable and cosy guesthouse, felt extremely welcome as soon as we arrived.

Miinukset: Ladders for bunks were a little harsh on your feet but that’s being critical

Plussat: Friendly staff, very affordable and a great location. Many positives.

Miinukset: Air coneitioning was available, but the locations of some beds were as such that the air didnot reach them all. This made those areas a lot hotter than others.

Plussat: The social area on level 6 is really nice. The staff were friendly.

Plussat: The location is great, alot of convenience stores around the area and it's very close to the Genbaku Dome - and the Hiroshima Castle as well - plus it's also an excellent spot transportation-wise.

Miinukset: Not particularly in love with the bathing facilities only situate on one floor.

Plussat: The hostel had everything. Bed, bathroom, relaxing room and even spa. The staff is very nice and polite

Miinukset: Smoking was allowed inside

Plussat: The 6ft floor is a smoking floor with a little food restaurant and a porno section

Miinukset: Very seedy a lot of dirty old men not a place to spend time alone in

Plussat: Not a bad position, the capsule were nice and a good place to sleep. We had some problems with the rules (my friend and me we have tattoos and they are not allowed) but the staff was nice and helpful

Miinukset: The lockers were way too small and they don't have showers outside the onsen area

Plussat: First of the lady with the red hair who checked me in I really enjoyed talking to her wish i could have talked to here more. The manager or assistant manager in his 40s who was really helpful and friendly. The rest of the staff were really good. I loved the capsule and sauna this place deserves more than 1 star.

Miinukset: Nothing really comes to mind.

Plussat: Hot pool facilities were great to enjoy during the cool autumn weather, basic amenities were complimentary including hairspray and body lotions. Relatively convenient location close to the tram stop, but also walking distance to the A-Dome

Plussat: Capsule living is a unique experience in Japan.

Miinukset: Before coming sent a mail for some response from the hotel but no response received waited for 4 days. So always call as neither mail nor booking app communication will help you.

Plussat: The staff was super nice even though I couldn't speak that much Japanese. Great baths to relax after a walk in Hiroshima's city center.

Plussat: Despite being a capsule hotel, there were surprisingly a lot of facilities to make the stay very comfortable. A lot more than I was expecting.

Miinukset: Not a lot of storage for personal items. Not a lot of room to sort out and get personal items from bags/suitcases, etc. If you came to stay for a night with a big suitcase, you'd struggle to get your stuff.

Plussat: Pretty clean and the staff were very polite.

Miinukset: This hotel is not set up to handle English speaking guest. They were very patient but it took a long time to communicate. I apologise for my inability to speak Japanese but every other Hotel has English pamphlets set up so even staff who don't know Japanese are able to explain.

Plussat: Great sauna/spa facilities, you can refresh and take a good sleep there. The hotel is located in a walking distance from Hiroshima Station (~15min walking) or you can catch a tram. Staff was very helpful. You can find there everything a man needs in this property. Be aware that people with tattoos are not allowed. And that there is something like a red district nearby :-) I saw a very interesting performance on a Saturday morning. Definitely 18+.

Miinukset: No english speaking staff. The lockers are too narrow to fit standard carry-on luggage, but you can store it at the reception. However, it complicates things a bit. And last but not least - strange rules for a stay longer than 1 day. You have to check-out and check-in again everyday. If don't - you have to pay "penalty".

Plussat: • Great location with good access to public transport – under a minute walk from Nishi Hiroshima Station. • Friendly, helpful, knowledgable staff. • Straight forward check-in and check-out. • Option to store luggage before check-in. • Lockers for valuables during your stay.

Miinukset: • Very thin walls mean that you can hear (and sometimes feel) the trains passing late into the night. • There are a lot of house rules. • Check-in is only from 16:00. • The facilities are okay but not the most comfortable – the beds are a little hard and the washroom and shower room are small.

Miinukset: Check in to late

Plussat: Very nice host. He showed us all the turistic spots and answered all our enquiries. Quiet place well located 2blixks from JR Station. We just 20 minutes from Miyajima!!

Plussat: The nearest railwaystation is just one step away from the hostel.

Miinukset: Only one toilet and bathroom.

Plussat: Lockers available outside the house, for those who arrive before the check in time.

Miinukset: The owner of the house was not professional at all. When I arrived and checked on2, the guy was watching the TV (baseball) instead of looking at me while talking. He was entering in the bedroom without even knocking at the door. Disrespectful. No curtain in the bedroom, I was awake a 5am.. Plus no isolation AT All, we could hear every single trains outside = impossible to have a proper sleep. The shower room was available only few hours in the morning (6-10am), but when you spend the whole day walking under the sun, you want to take a shower when you go home..

Plussat: Awesome location and very helpful staff. He gave us a lot of information about the hostel, city and helped us get around. He even let me borrow his umbrella when it was raining. Thank you!

Plussat: I stayed for 1 night. Everything you need is there. Japanese style - efficient use of little space.

Miinukset: Very small bathroom and only one toilette for so many people

Plussat: Close the train station

Miinukset: There are a LOT of rules and negative amounts of privacy. The staff would barge in with no warning, knock or notice. The air conditioning controls were blocked with glued on chop sticks so the room never got to a comfortable sleeping temperature. The beds were not mattresses and not quite a blanket but somewhere in between. Too firm even for the firm mattress lovers. The bathtub is like showering in a trough. Overall, would not book again.

Plussat: Its really close to the station. You even can see this building from the station. Try to not really use google map, it will take you go around the village instead of a shortcut. I love all. The bed even strong enough to hold me.

Miinukset: The staff was kind of in hurry everytime. And rarely talk to the guests. I think he got more job to do, so he did in hurry.
