No staff - had to do a weird check in by myself. Make sure you have the exact amount because the change machine doesn't let you get 5 yen or 1 yen so I paid extra. Cold water and due to lack of staff I didn't feel comfortable leaving my room in my pajamas so didn't have a shower. Heating didn't work, but luckily bed was warm after a bit. Curtains didn't offer much privacy. No lights or charging ports in rooms. Didn't go into kitchen but there was a mildly strange smell and didn't look very clean. No place to leave baggage for the day if you get there before check-in. Would have liked a key for the door, you could only lock it from the inside. Wonder if that means someone could lock you out... but all of this was fine because it was ¥2025 which is about £10 so I didn't mind.

I liked the fact that no one else was there. And the fact that it was very cheap. Comfy slippers. Safes although I didn't use them. Check-in until 11pm, you can come and go anytime. Very close to the station so quick walk.

Moldy showers, dirty kitchen, no soap to wash hands anywhere

The only thing that was good was that I was alone in my dorm,

The equipment was very basic. There were no lockers in the room, so all our staff were on the floor (good that we were alone in the room).

The location is great, just near station, so you can easily walk there to visit Miyajima. The place is good for 1-2 nights, but not a longer stay, It was fairly clean. The beds were quite comfy.

No staff or guidence

It was quiet and calm

Some of the facilities are pretty dirty and covered with mold. Also drying machine doesn’t work but still accepts money 😄

It’s located very close to train stations and ferry station. So it’s very convenient if you want to go to Miyajima.

It could be cleaner and also it would be good to have separate trashcan in the room.

Of course price is great for the stay.

It was kind of difficult to check in. It looks like normally everything is pretty automated but I had to use the reception desk phone to get someone's help. The host came out and then sorted everything out. Beds weren't very comfortable and room had little circulation so air was rather thick and slightly smelly. I think this was more due to everyone staying in the room after being out in the rain but still. First night I had trouble sleeping because of the bed. The second night I had hiked Mt. Misen so I didn't care about comfort I just passed out.

Location was exactly what I was looking for since I was going to Miyajima. This place is right in between the JR station and JR ferry port. Was able to go to Miyajima both days during my stay. Also was so close to the JR station that I went into Hiroshima both nights. Host was really nice when I was checking in. Price was great and was the cheap lodging that I was looking for.

Was a bit dirty, the room couldn't be locked

The hostel is near the station and has a 7/11 nearby.

Kitchen and some of the bathrooms were not clean (choose the uppermost bathroom, that is great). Small and outdated rooms.

Right at the ferry to Miyajima, good beds, nice rooftop terrace. No-fuss self check-in.

Stayed in April 2023

The room I stayed was right next to the road so it was too noisy with cars at nught.

Close to train station, close to the ferry to Ikutsu issland.

The place was incredibly unhygienic, with the showers looking like they hadn’t been cleaned in years—literally. The atmosphere was poor and depressing, with no effort to make it feel welcoming or comfortable. Everything about the hostel felt cold and impersonal, like the bare minimum was done to keep it running. It left a very bad impression, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend staying here; it isn't worth the money you pay.

I had a roof and a bed. Very close to the train station

It is just not good - check in procedure obtained on paper is not clear, whole hotel is filthy. Mattress is bad. You have to put sheets on the bed, pillow and blanket. Toilets are not clean. Locking system of toilets is not working for most of them. You do not get key to room if there is more beds, so you just leave your things there in unlocked room anyone can get in. People do not close the main door properly so usually the hostel is open. The street outside is very very busy and noisy, earplugs are must have. We were bitten in night by mosquitoes (I hope). We were looking for an accommodation near ferry to be able to spend time on miyajima without having to travel 30 minutes from city centre. I saw the reviews and thought it should be ok for one night. But now I would just go 30 minutes to town or even pay for stay at the island. This accommodation is not worth it.

The location is good, communication with owner via booking was quick, WiFi was ok

The place was terrible. Very dirty.

The staff was nice, letting us to do a bit earlier check in. The bed linen was clean, that was the only thing it was clean.

Stayed in October 2024

Ideal location, moments from the ferry, so you can stay late on the island without paying a fortune to stay there. Basic but comfortable.

Stayed in June 2024

I couldn’t have the chance to be inside the hostel because at the time of my check in no one sent me any email about the instructions, and yet they didn’t even contact me for any apology, and i was forced to book another hotel

Bathroom

Great

I am aware it is a cheap hostel but the rooms are very tiny, and the entire place stinks, I did not move to another hotel because it was too late but I was quite happy to lose my money. This hostel can do much better in terms, of it being much cleaner and the mattresses much more comfortable.

just the location.

Stayed in November 2023

Not the cleanest but it didn’t bother me.

The location is perfect if you’re planning to go to Miyajima island. The price is nothing compared to accommodation options on the island, and the hostel is literally just 3 minutes away from the port. It’s not the best hostel I’ve stayed at, but they provide everything necessary, the staff reply very fast on the app and are helpful, and it’s very cheap.

I really enjoy my stay plus is very affordable 😁😁 Hopefully I will come back with other friends

Very difficult way to check in.

If you just want a bed to sleep in and nothing more. This is cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I was surprised by how small and dirty the room was. The walls were gross. The bed was very creaky and uncomfortable. It was hard to tell where the lock for the shower was. People don't clean the plates and utensils that they use in the kitchen and it's all just left sitting in the sink and is gross. The hallway is very small. The sandals we have to use are not clean.

The location was very good. Close to the ferries and the station.

Stayed in April 2023

It was hard to communicate with the staff since almost everything was done remotely through the app or letters, and some of the English was hard to understand. The beds are kind of creaky, and you can hear people come in and walk in the corridor when you're on the first floor.

Very close to the stations and the ferry terminal. It was nice to be able to borrow an umbrella, and to be provided with a power strip. The staff did their best.
