The staff were very friendly and I was even invited out to Okonomiyaki on the first night. There was only one other person in the female only section so I pretty much had it to myself. The bed was clean and comfortable. The fridge and microwave were also clean.

There are quite a few stairs to the sleeping area so carrying a big bag is difficult. The bottom of the sinks looked weird and cracked. There was also some paint peeling off areas. There was a fair bit of dust in the shower and sink areas but apart from that is was clean.

It‘s a really nice and cozy atmosphere downstairs, you can always meet new people. Upstairs are the dorms and a private room. The bed in the dorm is ok. Nothing too comfortable, nothing too uncomfortable. In your sleeping room you also have a big safe , that you can lock. Also the staff is super nice and kind. Every staff member that I met spoke english and they always tried to help you when you have questions.

At night it can get very hot in the sleeping pod. When I woke up, I was always sweaty. The curtains on the bed really bothered me. They don’t close completely, so if you don’t want someone peeking in, you have to have something to hold it together in the middle.

Awesome staff. Yusaku was great. Super helpful and fun to chat (or have a drink with) with. Nice atmosphere. Overall everything was excellent for the price.

A/C in the mixed dorm was rough... The bunks have wooden walls, so the cool air doesn't get inside very easily, meaning the individual bunks get pretty hot/stuffy despite A/C being on in the room. Not a deal-breaker, it was still mostly comfortable!

Lovely location not far from the main station, easily within walking distance. Close to convenience stores. Even within walking distance to Peace Memorial Park if you're up for a local hike. Towels are available for a low price, as is laundry access. There is also a section of a wall lined with books to read to your heart's content. Majority of them are in Japanese, though the English ones were still enjoyable. The hostel itself is secure, providing locks on the dorms as well as giving the option to come and go at any time, day or night. There are "safes" in each bunk, large enough to store any valuables; laptops, cameras, etc. The staff was very kind and welcoming. Always greeted me and was great conversation during my visit. The food and drinks on the menu were also top tier.

I was unaware there was a female only section. I likely missed it by my own fault, but I would have preferred staying in that area instead of the mixed room. Regardless, I still felt safe. Not many food options in the hostel, though the food that was provided was delicious.

I usually don’t write ratings, however, this hostel was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan, the staff are just amazing and friendly, they made me feel very welcomed and I honestly was sad to leave. The beds are good enough, everything was clean, and it’s close to the train station, also to the Peace Memorial Park. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing

It's a warm and social environment if you seek it, especially on the first floor in the sake bar, which is almost seamless with the hostel upstairs. I'm not much of a drinker, but it was really nice being able to sample multiple sakes all at one time. Free washing machine for laundry. Only pay 300 yen if you want to use the dryer. They allow some access to the kitchen down in the sake bar when they're not open and serving the public. There is a fridge and microwave upstairs. Anything you need, they will help, when possible. Dad was too hard for my back and hips, so they gave me a second futon topper. Super easy access to both the streetcar and to the train station.

I wish there was a separate lounge room somewhere that is quiet, to get things done, with chairs. And a shelf next to our heads and shoulders in the bunk space.

The staff were SO FRIENDLY they also spoke very good English so it’s no issue if you don’t speak Japanese. They have a little bar on the first floor but I didn’t hear it at all then upstairs in the room.

The beds were a little old but not terrible, as long as your not expecting a plush bed you’ll be fine. Most things you’ll want to go to you’ll have to take the train, but the trains is super close and takes you right to the good places.

The staff and the atmosphere were friendly. The dinner there was good and the beds were comfortable.

We were staying in the top bunks and getting down was quite a challenge. Having the ladder between two beds made finding the rungs a little difficult. I was constantly worried I'd fall!

Gus was very welcoming and was always up for a chat and advice on the area. The hostel was a very brief walk to the nearest station making it very convenient to go to Hiroshima or Miyajima for the day. The people were also very nice and willing to talk to you and it was very easy to make new friends!

The hostel is situated near a train station in a cozy neighborhood with a lot of restaurants and shops. It is near most of the attractions in Hiroshima and has easy access to the rest. The staff are really nice and helpful.

The space is a little bit cramped with not a lot of space to put your luggage. There could be more toilets and shower rooms to accommodate everyone.
