What people say
I really had a great time. It's quite a familiar place. They invited
me to a party the day I arrived to meet japanese people and had free
dinner and drink. The location is good, 5 min. Away from the peace
memorial and close enough to other sightseeing spots. The kitchen, the
rooms and everything was very clean and comfortable. Good english.
I'll sure repeat.
The stuff is really friendly, so you feel really welcomed in this hostel.
I booked a single room, which was very nice with tatami mats and a futon. the bad and the shower are shared, but the staff always clean up everything really well.
All the major sightseeing spots are near to the hostel.all reviews »
It's a chain hostel, so they have a certain level there, quite impressive! All the necessary info for travelers is provided and they have a very helpful and friendly staff.
I stayed with my friend in a private room in a Japanese style: very simple but nice.
Location is also quite good!.
Great guesthouse, great location, and excellent helpful friendly staff ! Dormitory was spacious with a lot of room for putting your luggage, and curtains were very convenient for privacy and not disturbing others. Excellent !.
The room was very comfortable and cozy, the facilities nice and clean and the staff very helpful. Conveniently situated in the city center it's easy to access the main attractions and the bus terminal.
Good guest house. Nice room with Japenese room style. Easy to check in and check out. The guesthouse's staff will notify you how to check in if you want to check in late (after 10pm). Recommended.
Friendly staff & visitors. I enjoyed a party with staff, guests & local visitors sharing food. I was able to leave my luggage before I checked in & after I checked out.
The staff at this hostel would be the most friendly and helpful that i've come across at any hostel. Such nice people. I really enjoyed my stay at J Hoppers. Highly recommended.
A perfect stay - clean, calm, equipped, and English-speaking team!
Fantastic place, not in the city centre, but within fair distance to every place you want to see in Hiroshima!.
The hostel is well kept. The kitchen was always clean. Nice people were staying there and getting together in the common room. Great location. Would absolutely stay there again.
The location was good! Just 5minutes to the Peace Memorial Park. Staff
were friendly and provided maps and information about Hiroshima. I will
definitely stay there again.
Very friendly and helpful staff. A good location at the heart of the city near the peace park, with easy access to the rest of the city.
I got a single japanese style room, very clean, spacious and comfy. The
receptionist was very friendly and explained everything to me.
The room was really clean and comfortable. The same for the toilet and the shower. Staff really gentle. Good location.
The location is well and staff is friendly and helpful. They have a washing machine and a dryer as well.
I actually like a warm welcoming atmosphere. I could make myself like I'm at my home.
Good location, close to the Peace Park and Museum, friendly English-
speaking staff.
Good location, very cheap, beer vending machine in the hostel, friendly staff.
the staff are very helpful & friendly
the location is easy to find.
Very close to the Hiroshima Memorial Park and Museum.
Tatami rooms are great. Nice ambiance good staff.
A nice place but not much to remember.
Friendly, informative and fun staff.
Very close to the peace park. Our traditional japanese twin room was very small... And Sleeping on a thin futon on the floor isn't the most comfortable but fun for just a night.
The location, 10 min to the mémorial park. Good kitchen.
The only thing I didn't like there was the shower where you have to push it for water every 10 seconds. But it's for saving water, I understand.
Besides the Peace Memorial Park , Miyajima and Okonomiyaki the city doesn't have a lot to offer. Wandering around at night (what I always do while visiting other cities) I encountered lots of strange people and behavior. Strange in a sense that I haven't witnessed sth similar yet in other places in Japan. I can imagine why this city has a rough reputation amongst other Japanese...
None.
I had to sit on the stairs to use the wi-fi.
The room was bit smelly, don't know why.
The smell of the room (because of the tatami) but they provide air freshener.
Rooftop closing at 9pm :(.
no elevator :(
the bed is kind a old - it has the old smell in the room.
A little hard to find, and the location is not quite downtown although near the tram line and the memorial park.
The hostel, especially our room, smelt really bad! Like feet or dirty carpet. And no atmosphere so I don't recommend it for solo travellers!.
The tatami room smelt very bad. The bedshit was little dirty. And the
WiFi wasn't work.
