Reception staff was friendly but not as approachable as the other ryokans/inns we have been staying at. This is a hostel with lots of non Asian travellers. If you seek peace, this isn't for you. While I am tolerable of some noise, I am unhappy with what appears to be a staff of the hostel. A middle aged Japanese man... More

Using the directions provided by J-Hoppers we found this place pretty easily, it's a 20 min tram ride from JR Hiroshima station plus a 3 minute walk. The front desk spoke excellent english and check in was a breeze. The building is a bit older, but everything was clean and in working order. Yes, there are no elevators but if... More

J Hoppers is a good hostel in a great location. It's a short walking distance to the Peace Park, central shopping district, and the tram stop to Miyajima Island. Due to its central location and the clear directions on the website, I found it very easy to find. The hostel itself is run-down and "no thrills" - you get what... More

The best part of the hostel was the Japanese style room we stayed in. It had plenty of space to move about, plus a closet. Which we only used to dry our towels because they charge you for towels. The bathroom and shower area were nice and clean. My only gripe was that they smoked right below our room in... More

I loved this hostel; it was comfy, clean and friendly. The staff spoke excellent English and were happy to carry my heavy case up four flights of stairs. My room was spacious and clean. Communal facilities were clean and welcoming. There was also a rooftop terrace. The only downside was that the walls were paper-thin; I could hear someone's epic... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in a 8 bed (4 bunkbed) dorm. It was croweded since the whole building is small but cosy. The bunkbeds were ok. (Same as in j-hoppers Osaka, where we stayed in a twinroom). We also heard that there were Japanese style rooms. The two toilets, two sinks and 1 shower on each floor were... More

The best part to stay in the hostle - it's location. It's 5 min. walk from memorial museum and it's easy to get there using public transportation. For us it was really critical as we were only 1 day in Hiroshima and could spend our time on site viewing and not the time spent on travelling. We have stayed in... More

Very friendly and helpful staff in an excellent location. The staff went out of their way to help us on multiple occasions and were always very warm. We stayed in a private tatami room, which was the perfect size and well furnished. I can't account for the dorms or other rooms, but they have so many different options for accommodation... More

We stayed one night in this hostel and we were quite satisfied! It was a short tram ride from the central station and easy to find. The atmosphere was lively thanks to the shared kitchen and eating and relaxing areas. The private tatami room that we got was neat and the shared bathrooms were clean. The staff at the hostel... More
