Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 21:30. If you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to plan ahead, as the reception may not be staffed.
- No on-site parking or pets — There is no parking available at the property, and pets are not allowed. Travellers with a car or furry companion will need to look elsewhere.
- Rooms can be small — At least one private room is described as 'a little small,' which is common in Japanese accommodation but worth noting if you prefer more space.
- No full grocery store nearby — The hostel has a full kitchen, but some guests found only convenience stores nearby rather than a large supermarket, making serious self-catering a bit harder.

8.9Verified guest“The staff were great and check-in was smooth. They gave useful tips, the showers were good, and being near the train station was very convenient.”
8.9Verified guest“I've stayed in hostels across many countries and this was the best. Spotless, everything in order, and the shower pressure was strong (common in Japan, though). Close to the station and a convenience store. I'd strongly recommend it — you don't even need to bring a hair dryer, it's provided.”
8.9Verified guest“The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with sightseeing suggestions. I had great chats with at least three of the women at the front desk. There's a full kitchen, though I could only find convenience stores nearby rather than a big grocery store. K's House is close to an indoor shopping arcade with good shops and a fun 100-yen store, and it's an easy walk or tram ride to the Peace Park. Being eight minutes from the station doesn't hurt. The free Wi-Fi was a bonus, and it was fun hanging out in the lounge with travellers from other countries.”
8.9Verified guest“Our Japanese-style room on the top floor was spacious. The rooftop terrace looks lovely. Clean showers with hot water on several levels. Convenient location near Hiroshima Station, bike rental available, and friendly staff.”
8.9Verified guest“The ladies at the front desk were very kind and their English is excellent. The hostel is near Hiroshima Station but in a quiet area. Good value for money.”
8.9Verified guest“Convenient location, easy access from Hiroshima Station. Close to tram lines, very handy. Laundry and kitchen facilities available, plus luggage storage. A nice, cute place — I loved it.”
