We stayed in a private room for 2 nights, really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and spacious, and the shared toilets were also well maintained. Bed was really comfortable too! Very value for money and it’s in a good central location (close to the nightlife), would stay here again if we came back!

Cute hotel with clean rooms and facilities

If you prefer Japanese style guest house,you may not chose this,however,this ７　story "espoir"building offer resonable&convenient stay in center ob the city near by Hirosima Buss Center.Location is very convenient and many nice breakfast shop avairabble,for example "Sukiya"will offer you simple rice,miso soup & okura eggs"mazenokke-gohan"at ￥350 from dawn to 11 a.m.And nice vetonum restruant"Aoba?",Yakitori restruant"Akiyosi" and Itallian" Bocca Rossa" near by.

American Style Guest House

Situated only a couple of minutes walk from Hondori shopping street and about 10 minutes walk, depending on if you’re a snail pace walker or someone who walks as fast as an angry mother who’s about to complain to the school board about something, from the Peace Memorial Park lies Santiago Guest House. A hostel that is a bit of a pain to find with it only being sign posted by those hanging signs attached to high rise buildings that are literally everywhere in Japan. With said buildings hosting separate businesses on each floor, it may stress you out finding it but upon entry the stress will go bye bye from its general aesthetically pleasing outlook.

A modern and polished looked hostel who’s reception lies right next the common room and kitchen area, giving everyone in there a look at the fresh meat coming in. The common area and reception give a friendly vibe out from the on set with bean bags, couches, two TVs (one with a PlayStation 3) and shelves holding games and cuddly toys for you to spoon like they’re your partner whilst watching a rom com on Netflix. Generally the 6th floor where there is one dorm room and the kitchen and common area is quality. The kitchen is a little small in size but it does the job plus you’re in Japan where bento boxes are a way of life. Plus you can always just jaunt to the local supermarket- Yours- between 8:15 – 8:40pm where the bento boxes, salad and sushi goes half price, which the foreign helpers for free accommodation do pretty much every night. The WiFi is pretty solid as well. Follow link in bio to losertravels website so read full review and more!

There’s a vending machine filled with beer and strongs on one of the floors, yay!

Worst pillows in my life.
 We stayed in a private room, 3 people. It was nice.
 The showers are on a different floor, but they are enough. The location is more than perfect. The rooftop is really nice in the evening. It's 24 hours open if you keep quiet.
 You can't open the windows in the private room which was kinda weird 😅

Mostly nice

The location is very good- 5/10 mins walk from the Peace Park and Atomic bomb dome. The beds are a little hard but you get your own locker. Everything is clean. It was a nice stay and I would recommend it.

Good location, clean

This is a pretty basic hostel close to the Peace Memorial Park. While the room was spacious, the lounge-and-kitchen is rather small and sits together with the reception. We didn't get towels on check-in and had a hard time finding the receptionist at their desk after that. The showers are on a different floor, and are okay-ish. The best part was the proximity to the Peace Park.

Value for money

This hostel has good value for money, location and basic services. It is located on several floors. The reception is the highest. Low price 29 euros for two. To Genbaku 10 minutes, tram stop to the station - 5. Many restaurants and bars nearby.

Clean cheap hostel in the center.

Good location to the memorial site, and clean enough but beds are rock hard, and overall the atmosphere is stale. Got a nice enough roof top space but I feel the communal area is too small as well. Overall would not stay there again although the cost was reasonable.

Average at best

It is the other guests that make or break a hostel experience. In this instance we had a private room and the guests in the next room were incredibly loud and inconsiderate. The walls were paper thin so we were woken by them at 4am and kept awake by their noise. Whilst this isn’t the fault of the management, there is no one at reception and they did nothing to stop this after multiple guests complained. The group also vomited in the communal bathroom area and this was left until reception staff began at 8am. The smell was disgusting and the rest of the guests did not have access to the bathrooms on our floor during this time. Having a limited time reception was incredibly inconvenient, another guest waited at reception from 4am until 8am to try to get this dealt with as the smell and noise were so bad. 

The mattress was also very thin in the beds.

If these incidences didn’t happen our stay would have been fine but it is disappointing the management does nothing to enforce the silence after 11pm rule as there is no staff around at this time. I would choose to stay elsewhere next time in Hiroshima. 

Wouldn’t stay again 

Having stayed in a various array of hostels around the world, this is hand down the worst one I’ve had the misfortune to endure. Unfortunately, right from check-in it was quite evident the staff really couldn’t care less about their customers. I was placed in a room that I can only describe as a scene out of bug’s life, absolutely horrifying when you just want to get some sleep. Having made the decision that I just couldn’t stay in that room (or in indeed the hostel) I tried to let the staff know about the infestation issues they have but the reception was unmanned at this stage with no response via their social media, email or ‘emergency’ contact number. Despite my attempts  and 6 weeks passing, I’ve still to hear any response. Safe to say I had a better experience sleeping on the floor of the shin-Hiroshima station instead!
