The Evergreen Hostel

Hiroshima

This hostel was perfect for me as a solo traveler, and provided excellent value for the price. The Peace Memorial Museum and A-Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Art Museum, Hiroshima Castle are a short walk away, and there are two tram stations nearby. There's also an excellent okonomiyaki place just across the street.

If you're staying here long term, there's a fully equipped kitchen for preparing food. Solo travel can get lonely but the staff were very friendly, and I appreciated how they got some of us guests together for a fun, memorable night out downtown.

The futon/bunk bed was cozy and comfortable enough for the night. They provided small lockers for valuables and allowed me to leave my backpack at the hallway after check out. The female room is secured with a code.

The only potential issue I see here is the limited number of toilets and showers should the place get crowded, but I had no problems with this during my stay. Also, bring your own towel. There's a sink/vanity area with hair dryers that's conveniently separated from the toilets/bathrooms, so you don't have to wait for other guests.

I would stay here again should I find myself traveling alone in Hiroshima another time!

Perfect for solo travelers

I stayed here for one night only.
I chose this hostel since it's unbeatable regarding the price and location. Within just 5 minutes you can walk to the peace park and A-bomb dome. A tram station is even closer.
When entering you have to put off your shoes and are right in the "living room" as well as the reception. My check-in was a little confusing, since apparently one of the longer staying guests was substituing the manager, who wasn't in the hostel at the time. He explained everything to me as best as he could though. A big plus are the check-in and -out times, since you can check in until evening and when checking out you have time until 11 AM, which is very considerate.
If you need a towel you have to pay an extra fee of 200 ¥ (if I remember correctly).
There are at least 2 rooms with multiple bedrooms. I stayed in the women only room, which had 8 bunk beds. The beds are built pretty closed, as you can see in the pictures. There is only one opening where you can enter (with a curtain as screen). The rest is closed.
My bed was kind of prepared, but I had to do the linen myself. Also the futon was quite worn, I coult feel the wooden blanks beneath me every minute while lying down, which was very uncomfortable.
The facility was very clean, especially the bathroom (there's 2 bathrooms with 1 toilet each) and showers (1 shower room with 2 secluded showers), from what I can tell. 
There is even a shared kitchen, where you can prepare your food if you want (I didn't need it though).
Foods and drinks aren't allowed in the bedrooms. You get codes to enter after 10 PM through the front door and another to enter the female only bedroom at all times. There was free Wi-Fi, but I didn't use it, so I can't say anything about the speed or cennection. There were notes everywhere saying that this isn't a party hostel and to keep quiet between 10 PM and 8 AM, but when I was in bed (after 10 PM), I could hear some people in the "living room" chatting loudly and even singing/playing guitar. I'm glad I still can sleep with some noises around, but for people who can't it might be annoying.
I was defenitely missing a locker. There are small lockers in the "living room", but only for valuables. I had to put my stuff in the bed (which luckily has the space for it), but it was still kind of annoying to share the space with my luggage. Fortunately I only had regular backpacks and bags and no big backpack or suitcase with me. If you have bigger luggage, you have to find some space in the room or leave it in the hallway.
The staff was very friendly and tried to help where they could.
All in all the stay was okay, but I'm not sure if I would stay there again... but maybe I'm just not a hostel person and expected too much. :)

All in all okay

Let's start with the good stuff: cheap, central, next to a tram station, comfortable befs, and lovely hosts.
On the other hand, the place was not heated at all (I visited in November), and the showers and the toilets are not the best (comparing to other hostels in Japan).
And for these things, I take two badges.

Ok, but could be better.

It's quiet close to a lot of the main tourist places. It's a couple of minute walk to a tram stop that can take you to Hiroshima Station or Miyajima Island. 
Fairly nice interior. Clean except for the showers which weren't super bad but they just definitely weren't clean either. 
Staff were mediocre; neither friendly nor unfriendly. 

Convenient location.

Very quiet in the rooms. They have sturdy wooden pods that give you some privacy. Good WiFi. Good showers. There is a small but comfortable common space to meet people. Very conveniently located to the Peace Monument, Peace Museum and Hiroshima Castle. The staff is very helpful. 

Quiet hostel conveniently located. 

I traveled solo and finding the place was not a problem. It is easy to navigate and get around. Visited the Atomic Dome sight twice, night and early morning. So the location is excellent. The place is small and cozy suitable for budget travelers. The rooms can sometimes get smelly if other guests don't clean themselves properly. I think that is what comes with staying in a hostel. Nevertheless, had a good quiet sleep.
