    Cozy place and friendly staff
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The mattress, because I couldn't turn in my sleep. it was so soft and adapted to my body shape. So I couldn't change my position. This is only my experience. When I asked my fellow travelers, they said it was comfortable. Maybe it's my body that couldn't feel comfortable in it.

    The bar was an excellent setup. The staff was so engaging, and I had the opportunity to get along with fellow travelers. The bed was very soft. But it wasn't a good choice for my neck. I prefer a sturdy mattress. I'm not complaining; it just didn't work out well for me. The room had enough space to keep our backpacks and to walk. It wasn't too narrow, and there was enough space to walk without getting bumped into anything.

    The reception/bar area closes at 10pm & the only other shared space is the kitchen that would get very crowded while people were waiting for the shower, eating or just didn t want to go to bed early. It doesn’t have a ramp & there are a few steps ar every entrance, might probe challenging when dealing with a big luggage

    The house is nice & cozy. It feels super nice to walk on the women floors. The staff were nice & the bed spacious and comfortable. They are offering towels free of charge.

    This hostel felt like family, everyone was incredibly kind, especially the staff. The bar and food are run by the staff and everything was amazing (the food was a 10/10!). The showers are spacious, and there are toilets on the top floor as well. The beds are great, and the kitchen is clean and fully equipped (they even have a free massage chair, haha). There are video games and various board games you can enjoy with other guests! The location is perfect! Just a 15-minute walk to Hiroshima Castle and about 30 minutes to the Peace Memorial Park. It’s less than a 10-minute walk to the nearest train station, and about 10 minutes by public transport from Hiroshima Station. I would highly recommend this hostel!

    I only stayed for one night, but it was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The neighborhood was quiet and it wasn’t far from public transit. I walked from the hostel to Peace Park which took about 40 minutes since I was walking slowly, but it was a nice walk. Close to a convenience store and some restaurants.

    Homey accomodation, authentically Japanese and a social-haven for guests

    When the common area was open as a bar / restaurant hostel guests weren't allowed to drink their own alcohol or stay in the common room after closing time which was dissapointing.

    The house was a beautiful traditional style Japanese home, the women's dorm was comfortable and spacious, the bathrooms and kitchen were all very well maintained and unique.

    Everything was nice.

    The first thing to come to mind is the hospitality of the staff ! They were very welcoming, and it was really nice to exchange with them during our stay ! So if you love to chat, don't hesitate ^^. The hostel is near the train station by foot (around 20 minutes) and even closer by transport. It is the same to go to the center of Hiroshima. I was in the female dormitory. It is spacious enough for the number of people in it, and you have plenty of space to leave your luggage. And a locker if you need it. I will definitively come again !

    The space within the dorm felt too tight to be able to access items in bags etc without disturbing everyone in the dorm, there wasn't really anywhere else to do that as the communal space downstairs was also a bit small.

    Staff were lovely! The dorm was a little tight for space but did the job for a night. The bed was comfy and there was ample air con. Welcome drink given too which was very kind. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Warm Homey Stay

    It would of been nice to see a few more hooks in the shower/bathing room to hang clothing.

    The facility is located close to the JR Shin-Hakushima Station (新白島駅). It takes about 5 min to walk from the station to Roku Hostel. There are not many shops around this quiet neighborhood, but one can just hope on to JR train and ride 1 stop to get to Hiroshima Station. The facility is clean and has a warm homey feel to it. There is a small bar within the facility, but I did not have the chance to try it out since I only stay here for one evening.

    There are very thin walls between rooms so you can hear everything what’s happening. But most people are quiet.

    We really appreciate friendly atmosphere, the owner was helpful and gave us many recommendations for nearby restaurants and other opportunities. Welcome drink was refreshing.

    The kitchen, dining area, and communal spaces are a bit small. Sometimes you can hear traffic and smell. smoke through the window

    Roku is located near the castle and a 15-30 walk or bus ride to the peace park and bus station (and one stop from the train depot). The staff and atmosphere are welcoming and it attracts a social group of backpackers. The facilities are basic yet comfortable. It’s a great value and place to stay.

    The beds only had a thin curtain so not great privacy. It’s near a train station but a bit far from the central sights.

    Free drink every night and only a small intimate hostel so was very social. Very nice staff.
