Good quality room and shared facilities next to the train station. Very walkable. Generous baggage storage. Just lacks any sense of community but good stay.

Conveniently across the street from train station. Good for a short stay but not much community building with others — lobby is separate entrance from dormitories.

For a first timer travelling solo in Japan and with no Japanese knowledge, this place surely made me feel very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and kind enough assist me when i needed help. The location is very strategic and the accommodation is excellent! Maybe thats why i got up late, bcos i was getting too comfortable 😅. Super clean and spacious. They definitely know how to run an inn.
Thanks so much for having me stay there.
Highly recommended!!!!

It's super convenient location wise, incredibly Close to the main station and has lots of tram stops nearby as well. The capsule had an actual mattress which is a big change from other hostels that offer foutons only, so I got to sleep comfotably. The staff were very helpful and they are always happy to provide recommendations of where to eat, which was great!

For the price the stay is really good, there was a place to lock valuables at the head of the bed though if you have larger suitcases and are paranoid about leaving them in a shared room you might want to leave them in a coin locker at the very-close-by station.
Overall the bed was perfectly comfy, everything was clean, and the price value was unmatched.

Friendly staff, cleanest hostel, great location!
Only stayed for one night, but I remember the staff being so friendly and helpful! Everything was extremely clean and presentable – easily the cleanest hostel on my two and a half week trip. Very close to Hiroshima Station and many okonomiyaki options within walking distance. FamilyMart across the street made morning konbini breakfast really convenient. Would definitely stay here again!

Happy little hostel
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great little bar inside hostel. Good vibe and very homely. Comfy bed but automatic lights were a bit annoying with lots of people coming in and out of the room. Great location if you’re not staying for long, with train station 5 mins away and lots of public transport on the doorstep.

So helpful
I just want to leave my first review to say how happy I am that they managed to cover up for my mistake when I accidentally booked an only women dormitory bed as a man.
I was allowed to leave my luggage there even though I had to find something else and when I came back there was a spot open in the mixed dormitory!
In general it is super cozy and clean.

One of my favourite hostels in Japan
The place is relatively new and modern. I love the shelving and locker in the sleep pods (bring your own lock or you can rent a lock). The staff were attentive, friendly and helpful.

Lovely Tatami Room !
Pretty place. Each compartment was built with thick wall so I could sleep well. Ajoining cafe serves fresh coffee and soy beans khumus toast. It deserves to order.
3 min fron station. Conbini is 1 min frim the place. Tatami room at entrance has good lineuo of manga and round table, that is so relaxed mood

Best guesthouse I’ve stayed in
It was an excellent place to stay! The accommodation was cute, the service was excellent, it’s basically around the corner from the station too. The girl at reception offered to give me sightseeing recommendations and that was so helpful as I hadn’t researched anything before! She was so friendly and helpful, it was a great welcome to Hiroshima. Definitely the best guesthouse/hostel I’ve stayed in.
