Ask for a bed in the dorm room on level 5

Lucked out and scored the 4 bed dorm on level 5 opposite the roof top terrace. The lift only goes as far as level 4 and you have to take the stairs for the last little bit but for the relative peace & quiet of the top floor it’s worth it. The 4 bed dorm also feels spacious by comparison to those on the lower levels.

Staff was extremely friendly, helpful and polite—even by Japanese standards! Our room was clean, with great sink, toilet and shower facilities. No PJs or toiletries supplied in our three-person room, but the fast wifi, air-conditioning, slippers, tourist advice made up for that. We’d stay again!!

This was the only hostel we stayed in during our entire time in Japan among other notable hotel chains, and I can honestly say this location was just as helpful, clean and spacious in our room as our much more expensive options. We were all pleasantly surprised with our stay, very quiet, cozy, and in a convenient location to catch cable cars and JR lines and interesting sites of Hiroshima. Checking out a towel for 100 yen saved us!

Very nice and effective staff who can speak English. The location is convenient, although it takes around 10 minutes to walk from Hiroshima station, it is close to the Hiroden station. Therefore it is still very easy to travel around the city.

K's is a very good place to stay. The staff is welcoming and incredibly helpful. It has a full kitchen, laundry facilities, amenities are available, comfortable beds with cosy fluffy duvet. Clean, quiet and very convenient location just a few minutes walk from street tram or bus and train station. You will not regret choosing K's unless hostel trolls are also staying in your room but that cannot be helped by anyone regardless of what hostel is chosen.

A warm place in the heart of Hiroshima

We came to Hiroshima for 3 nights. Since my partner is traveling on a very low budget, we were looking for a place to stay that would be cheap, clean and nice. We looked for a couple of days and were about to give up and split, when we found the deal in K's house. The place is wonderful. It is located a couple of minutes walk from Hiroshima station and about 10 minutes walk from the Peace park and city center. As for the hostel itself, the staff were super nice and helpful and the check in was smooth and easy. We booked a private room for two and my impression is that we got a bigger room for the same price (there were 3 of each in the closet - towels, futon mattress, duvet, etc.). I was surprise to find out they change the towels everyday.. I did not expect that in a hostel. As for the common area, it was wonderful - lots of movies to watch, board games, books about Hiroshima and even Origami papers and books. The kitchen is great. Fully equipped with everything that is needed to prepare food. There's also all kinds of herbs, spices, Japanese spices and various kinds of tea and coffee. When the 3 nights were over, I returned to Osaka but mu friend stayed for another 3 nights an got a really last minute deal on a bed in girl's dormitory. Excellent place.

K's House is a good hostel for a one night stay in Hiroshima. About 20-25 minutes walk from the peace memorial/museum. We had a family room for four people even though we were just two people. It was a good amount of space for us. You have to make your futon beds yourself as the room comes with just a small table (that you move to make space for the beds). There is a sink in the room, which is a plus. There is a kitchen and common area on the first floor which is nice if you need to make food or want to hang out with other travelers. Each floor has shared a bathroom and shower.

Great place for an overnight stay

The hostel is very close to a tramway stop and easy to find. The young lady who met us at reception was very helpful, bright and fun. We dropped our bags at 1pm and on returning at 5pm found them in our room. The room was small and clean - perfect for an overnight stay for the four of us. Our overall experience was positive and the room represents extremely good value compared to other places we visited in Hiroshima and Shikoku.

Good value for money

Close to the Hiroshima train station and street car stops, this clean hostel provides a very good value for money. Our room (301) was a family room but the size was just fine for 2 people, can't really imagine 4 people sleeping here. It was quiet, clean and entirely sufficient for the 2 night stay we planned. The staff at the hostel is friendly and there is a rooftop garden you can visit - which is pretty nice when there's a nice, crisp autumn morning.
