Reviews of Hiroshima Hostel EN 1 stars

Awesome staff. Yusaku was great. Super helpful and fun to chat (or have a drink with) with. Nice atmosphere. Overall everything was excellent for the price.

A/C in the mixed dorm was rough... The bunks have wooden walls, so the cool air doesn't get inside very easily, meaning the individual bunks get pretty hot/stuffy despite A/C being on in the room. Not a deal-breaker, it was still mostly comfortable!

The staff and the atmosphere were friendly. The dinner there was good and the beds were comfortable.

We were staying in the top bunks and getting down was quite a challenge. Having the ladder between two beds made finding the rungs a little difficult. I was constantly worried I'd fall!

Completely standard stay, nothing too exciting or bad about this place

It was a bed, or rather a futon for one night. 3 futons in a room with not a lot of space to spare. The bar downstairs had drinks and food. Simple, cheap, super basic and probably more suited to younger end travellers.

Washroom sinks in a hallway rather than a bathroom type space.

We had an amazing stay with a private room given to me and my mother at no extra cost!! There is a restaurant on the bottom floor and the hostel is situated at a great location 5 minutes from the JR station!

Everything, especially the vibe and how convenient the location is.

The staff was very friendly and I really enjoyed the bar downstairs. The location was also okish - close to the train station and quiet at night.

Unfortunately the hostel is not well maintained. My bed was clean and covered in fresh bedsheets but the mattress should have been exchanged long time ago. It already has dent in the middle where usually people lay. The common area on the 1st floor is very small and you can see a lot of dust close to the ventilation on the ceiling. Also the shower cabins were clean on the floor and the walls but the ceiling was covered in mole.

Amazing location and staff were amazing

Mattresses in dorms have lost their padding so you kinda roll to the middle and then the bed is hard

The staff were very friendly and I was even invited out to Okonomiyaki on the first night. There was only one other person in the female only section so I pretty much had it to myself. The bed was clean and comfortable. The fridge and microwave were also clean.

There are quite a few stairs to the sleeping area so carrying a big bag is difficult. The bottom of the sinks looked weird and cracked. There was also some paint peeling off areas. There was a fair bit of dust in the shower and sink areas but apart from that is was clean.

Very friendly staff. Mostly students living in Hiroshima

Nice hostel stay, liked the bunk beds (female dorm) and private room. Downstairs is a bar with lively crowd (live music band and food) the evening we arrived. Lots of food/shops around, and nearby metro.

Location was good close to a JR station. There was plenty of places to eat close by. The staff were friendly and check-in was easy. It was reasonably quite and we never really had to wait for a shower. The room was big enough and comfortable.

The mould. Honestly I have stayed in many hostels and never have I seen so much mould. It was mainly on the air-conditioner/heater and in the showers. As much as the place generally looked clean with this much mould you have to wonder how often it is properly cleaned. It is quite off putting.

Nice little Hostel, would book there any time again :)

It was only 5 min walk from Yokogawa station. There were a supermarket, convenience stores, bakery, restaurants nearby.

The shower rooms had some molds. The ventilation was quite bad.

The crew was very friendly and welcome drinks are offered. Close to the train station.

The only female room is small, not much space if all the beds are booked. Only two showers and two toilets for 16 or so guests, plus few people who seem to be living there. It’s not absolutely terrible, might be ok for a last resource, one night booking or an emergency spot while you find a better place.
