Stayed only 3 nights, and it was a pleasant stay. They had a BBQ outside one night and was great. I would easily recommend to stay here, a bit far from those wanting to stay in Hiroshima, but close enough to visit for a day trip.

I stayed at this hostel for 4 nights whilst i made a brief stop in Hiroshima. My aim was to see the floating shrine, and all that hiroshima had to offer in these few days and this hostel was placed in a great location to allow me to do so. The price was around 12 pounds a night as they... More

This was the most fun I`ve had at a hostel - EVER! The staff go out of their way to make your experience memorable. Setting off little fireworks on the pier we bought from a local convenience store, hanging out at the nearby beach, surrounded by ocean water and mountains, day tripping to the island, meeting some of the funnest...

I am a well-travelled person and I`ve visited countries in Oceania, South America and Asia and by far this is the worst hostel that I`ve ever been. They charge for absolutely everything ! The showers are just in 5 minutes. How can a woman who is in her period, has long hair and needs to shave can have a shower... More

In fact, you get more than your money's worth. You will rather feel like you are staying at friend's home, with friendly and traveled stuff and the crowd that can share an interesting story or two. We even got a proper Thanksgiving dinner. Not to mention that it is right on the cost, looking at the beautiful Miyajima island and... More

I stayed at this hostel at the end of September and I had a great time. It is definitely in my top hostels I have ever stayed in. It is simple in its decor but that in no way hinders it, in fact, I think it adds to it. It also well priced and well connected via public transport. The... More

This hostel is on Miyajima-guchi, which is NOT on Miyajima island itself. HOwever, it is still a great location, as it is only 5 minutes walk from Miyajima-guchi station, and 1 minute walk to the ferry terminal! The hostel is just right next to the sea. Staff are friendly, but the rooms could be better. The dorms are basically one... More

If you look for a cheap hostel near to the Miyajima island, this is the nearest one. I just wanted to sleep two calm nights. The hostel is very clean, that's for sure but every Japanese hostel are clean. There are no rooms for the dormitory (4 persons or 8 persons => No difference). It is only one big room... More

Visited in May 2010 and had an awesome time. Yoshi and the rest of the staff made everyone welcome and got into the swing of things and were always organising BBQs and camping trips. Pro tip: ask for Kobe beef!!! Its all dorm accomodation but its well cleaned and privacy is reasonably good. Everywhere is clean and the common areas... More

If you are travelling alone, want to meet people and don`t mind big dorms, it is a good option. You can have party in the evening and the staff is very nice and helpful. But the dorms are very big (25 people in one room, only separated by 4 curtains) so it is very noisy during the night and you... More
