For my two-night stay in Hiroshima, I booked K’s House as I had already booked a stay at their Kyoto location. I was quite pleased with my stay. K’s House is located about a 10 minute walk from the central train station and only a block and a half from the Matoba-cho tram stop (second stop after the train station... More

Having stayed at K’s House Kyoto on a previous trip, it was a no-brainer picking their Hiroshima branch for our stay there. It was easy to find, literally a minute’s walk from the tram stop, or 10 minutes’ walk from the JR station. Although a smaller hostel than the Kyoto branch, the greeting was just as warm and the staff... More

This hostel is in an excellent location in Hiroshima, close to trams and walking distance to the train station. We stayed in a double room, which had a larger bed than what you would normally expect in Japan. It also had its own small bathroom. The hostel was quiet when we were there although the walls are quite thin so... More

This place was a gem - we were expecting a budget hostel type room but the accomodation was as good as most business hotels. The staff were incredibly helpful and the facilities were good - internet cafe, washing machines and kitchen etc. We looked to see if we could switch to K's in Tokyo but unsurprisingly they were fully booked....

Stayed for two nights in a mixed dorm. This hostel is obviously new so it's VERY clean and still nice with no scuffed walls or broken taps. The bathrooms are excellent and the decor throughout is of a high standard. It's only a 5 min stroll from the station and about 1 min walk from the main tramline. Friendly staff... More

Our family of 5 stayed here for only 2 nights and loved it. The rooms were spacious (in japanese terms) warm and secure. The shared kitchen and dinning area were easily accessed and had all that we could want and need. The staff were friendly and engaging. We loved it and you will too. More

This is a convenient hostel located about 20 minutes walk from the Genbaku Dome and the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Museum, very easy to get to from the train station and really ideal as a link to Miya Jima too. The staff are super friendly and have great food recommendations. There's a 7/11 just round the corner so very handy if... More

I was very much impressed with this hostel chain. I stayed at the Hiroshima and Tokyo hostel and I can only say positive things about them – location, service, cleanliness, etc. I highly recommend this property. More

It is of a good value. It is about a block away from a tram station and 7/11. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and it is very easy to find. From Hiroshima Station, just follow the tracks until you reach Matoba-cho Stop, then turn right. It is also a ten minute walk from the Memorial Park. More
