It was hard to find because it's located down a side street but it was clean, had air conditioning and a friendly staff, whom do not speak much english so have a dictionary handy. Although I would recommend other hotels in the area, if you're on a budget this ryokan would not be a bad choice.close

A small, dirty room for an expensive price. The staff can't speak any english at all and they are not in the reception, they just hang out in the back somewhere and have no idea of who is in the hotel. The location was good though.

The directions need to be more detailed on how to get there. You want to take the 8th exit south from the JR station walk straight up the street and when you see the Daily convience store take a right and it is the 4th building in.

You want to take the 8th exit south from the JR station walk straight up the street and when you see the Daily convience store take a right and it is the 4th building in. We had our first experience with bedbugs here and they were very apologetic and we changed our room but the next night we got bitten again....too bad as it is great other wise.close

Allthoug it was a different experience to stay at a all japanese-speaking hostel, it would have been nice to have one english speaking staff member! We ended up paying a little bit more than we should because she didn't understand that we had paid the deposit online, and we couldn't argue in... more Allthoug it was a different experience to stay at a all japanese-speaking hostel, it would have been nice to have one english speaking staff member!

The people that work there are very friendly and even though their english is limited, they are very happy to help and are very accomodating. Excellent location, very close to the JR station and the tram lines. Also very convenient to the main street and convenience store as well as the night life district. I had a very enjoyable stay for 4 nights with no negative impressions at all. I would definately reccomend this place.close

Terrible! Easily our worst night`s stay in Japan so far! At first we were given the wrong room, and when we tried to explain it to the guy at the front desk he shouted at us and then at his wife. It wasn`t until the 3 people from the room we`d been given came back that we were able to sort it... more Terrible! Easily our worst night`s stay in Japan so far!

Make sure you get a detailed map because the building doesn't have the name in English! Nice staff and so close to the Hiroshima station.
