Budget Accommodation Near Shopping Street
It seems like everything was new and/or recent renovated. If you’re looking to save some money, stay here. I couldn’t imagine 2 people actually staying in the bunk bed room though (I stayed solo).

Cramped was an understatement.
We arrived before check in time hoping to leave our bags but staff were kind enough to check us in. That was where the joy ended. Fourth floor room. No lift. With heavy cases it was a huge struggle to get our gear to our room. The room was crazy small. 2 double beds. The room between the beds so narrow you had to shuffle sideways through the whole room. No room to have easy access to luggage. Toilet leaked. Sink didn't drain properly. Only 3 pillows for 4 people. Didn't notice till staff had left. Noise carried badly. You could hear all the guests all the time. Thank goodness Hiroshima was so wonderful that we wanted to be out of the room all the time.

Quality budget hostel not too far from the main railway station, not hard to find if you have a map. The room we had was quite small with a bunk bed, but it served our need perfectly. Bathroom was tiny, but again it was fine by us for the price. Easy, no frills, cheap and safe accommodation.

Small and unassuming, but very nice and modern once you get inside. The staff is really accommodating. The rooms are more typical Japanese style where you are blocked in and two people can’t walk by each other because it’s so small. The beds are tatami with futons. Young people may be able to handle this, but my 45- year old back didn’t do well with it. The location is fabulous. Within five minutes you can be near all sorts of shopping and food.

The English-speaking staff member was helpful. The room for the three of us, with ensuite bathroom was compact but comfortable enough. We made use of the tatami lounge area for relaxing, and this was a pleasant space. The yukatas were a nice touch. Wi-fi worked fine.

Very compact hotel in a central location in Hiroshima.
Our room was very compact for our group of 4 - 2 adults & 2 children.
The bathroom was particularly tiny.
There was a comfortable tatami lounge that we took advantage of, however, which helped make up for the small room.

Clean and comfortable with great staff
Staff were very helpful, allowing me to check in early and helping with with a phone issue I had. Room was clean, comfortable and well-located, about a 10 minute walk from the train station.

Quiet hotel close to station and sights
The hotel is a short walk or a couple of stops on the streetcar from Hiroshima station. It is also very close to a number of different sights, including the Peace Memorial Park.
The room was very comfortable and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

Great budget hotel.
Top location, close to the shopping precinct and the loop buses. Plenty of little places to eat in the surrounding streets. Easy walking distance to the Peace Park. Friendly helpful staff. It doesn't look like much from the front door but I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Would definitely stay here again.
