“Very conveniently located. Just a few streps away from the JR Kure station, and a couple of blocks from the Yamato maritime museum, which can be accessed via a foot bridge.
Hotel is showing signs of age but is well maintained and clean. Excellent front desk staff. Good lighting in the room. Breakfast is served on the 14th floor with excellent view of the city and the port. Hotel offers cute hand-drawn maps showing staff’s recommended restaurants, cafes, very cute.

“It has a family owned feel with plenty of personal touches like a local lemonade and sake drinks, and photo to remember the trip by. Additionally, it is an easy 13 minute walk from the Hiroshima train station and all the major tourist spots. I definitely recommend!!”
“Our host was very accessible and so kind to provide a complimentary Japanese breakfast and the ammenities provided were more than enough. Overall a great stay”
“Building is very close to the street, it can be noisy at night with cars pass by. They do provide ear plugs if you need them.
Buses near the hotel is not very frequent and tend to delayed. Plan accordingly. Trams are 10 mins walk and you have to walk pass the red lights district at night. It’s pretty safe though. Plenty of Restraurant in that neighbourhood.
I like the hard mattress but the pillows are too tall for me.
Communications with the hotel is almost flawless. They reply very quickly……
“Good hostel, great location, great staff (Mohamed is a very cheerful and helpful host).
The building has an implicit curfew of around 1AM (some automated doors which lock past that point) which didn't affect me but might be a concern for others. Also the cubicles are a bit smaller than other hostels I've been in. Not a dealbreaker but it is just a little cramped.
Aside from that, clean, safe, a lot of places to visit within walking distance, and honestly the best vibes of the hostels I've……
"Vintage style hotel, 5-10 minutes to Hiroshima Castle and A-bomb museum. Hotel staff are super polite and nice, can communicate with English. Love the Columba Bar, relaxing environment and staff are charming and sociable. Not recommend the sky top bar. Room are clean and comfortable, but no usb charge port at bedside, TV channel are limited. Good overall"
