    Everyone was very respectful of each other but I felt a little uneasy with the shower door not having a lock

    The cost The location was no more than 5 - 10 minutes from the train station WiFi worked as expected

    everything was prefect but the dryer when i used it and stopped working the morning i needed to leave kinda forcing me to go at the local laundromat.

    liked that the showers had hot water and offered free soap and multiple sinks to help in the morning with others being there along with the two showers

    … nevertheless there was a lot of huge amounts of dust in some areas, I don't know why. The place didn't made a very clean impression in general on me. Also, the stairs was a litte bit unsafe to climb.

    This is a good place to socialise because there's a bar downstairs and it seams their philosophy to bring people from all around the world together. They also offer meals. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. Fair price. They seams to clean all the important things every day; I saw them using an adhesive roller to clean tatami from hairs, for instance. But …

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I actually cancelled a different hostel to stay in this one because I have been alone for a while and was looking for a social hostel with good vibes - a place to make friends and go out (it was the weekend). When I arrived at 9.30pm I was the only one in the common area and the bar was closed. No one else was there until I went to bed at 12.30. The next day a few more people were in the common are but it was still not the social experience I had hoped for.

    Nice beds, rooms, common area and facilities. Overall a nice hostel.

    I wish there was a small shelf in the bunk to put my glasses to during the night, not just the box for valuables. Rooms are a bit small and there are only 2 toilets and showers, but when I was there, not many people seemed to be around, so for me it was fine.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. It was clean and the location was good, although not in the middle of the city center.

    Only 2 showers and 2 toilets shared between both dorm rooms so there were some waits early in morning or in the evening

    Well located within walking distance of most sights. The staff members were friendly and the social space was large and welcoming. Dorm room was very quiet, and laundry facilities were great - washing machine free to use and dryer only 300 yen

    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.

    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.

    Oh my goodness it was hot at night. I’m prone to overheating so take it with a pinch of salt. Woke up sweating a few times and struggled to sleep. Also, the beds are like capsules, which isn’t bad, but it was kind of a challenge to actually climb up to the second bunk without slipping!

    There is a bar downstairs which had a good atmosphere, and wasn’t loud late which is more important. Allowed to store bags when checking out for free! Staff were amazing and friendly. The location is also pretty good as it’s close to the subway station.

    Snoring, cannot be avoided sometimes. Sensitive sleeper, but I can deal with it like a pro! The time was too short for staying there. Could have been longer!

    I especially liked the warm welcome and that I made friends for life. It was fun to hang out in the common room, playing video games with strangers, and all in all it's a great location to get there to anywhere you like within Tokyo.

    A bit cramped and noisy. The bar has customers up to the small hours and the noise can be heard in the sleeping area. Rules are not enforced..? Other guests used hair dryes and washing machines during quiet hours. The door between the bar and hostel was left open many times so I was woken up by noise from the bar. The sleeping pods get stuffy very quickly and has thin mattresses. Could be an excellent hostel by doing some fairly simple improvements.

    The hostel is mostly clean and has good facilities. Social atmosphere due to the bar downstairs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Pretty good location for main attractions and quick access to the trains.

    It was busy when I stayed so I found the room a bit smelly.

    Super friendly hostel! close to a JR station and a nice walk around the river takes you direct to the peace park in about 10-20minutes.
