    Overcrowded with beds, you have to make your own bed, there's no staff, self check in. Bed could be more comfortable, it's ok for a 1 night stay, not so cheap but not so expensive either.

    Location, quite clean, free coffee in the morning, toilet paper, shampoo. Recommended for 1 night.

    Not much of a social area and very little by way of kitchen, but sufficient.

    Excellent value for money fairly centrally located.

    A little small - small bedroom for 8 people with not a lot of place to store your belongings. The shared areas were quite small too.

    Nice human-sized hostel ! We met some great people in the room. Staff was present and helpful !

    It's kind of weird to me that you're not allowed to be in the property during some hours in the middle of the day (11 am to 4 pm I think). Doesn't really feel fair to pay for a place where you can't stay for so many hours. Also, beware that there's no real hangout/social area. It's mostly a place to rest

    Great location, comfortable beds and quite clean. It's definitely worth it for the price you pay

    Unfortunately the days three and four the room was very hot and quite smelly, I don’t know why but that was a bit disappointing I think that was just a small mistake and if they know they can get rid of it :)

    The beds are good, nothing special but they’re good The staff people were very nice The first two days the temperature in the sleeping room was good

    Bit far, 15 min walk from Hiroshima Station. Make sure you know your way. You can ride street car(tram) to Kanayamacho station and walk few minutes.

    Close to Hondori shopping district. Next door to 7.

    I mainly booked the place to sleep and there was not much separation between the common area and the beds. Actually People were speaking loudly even in the dorm room and the provided earplugs were completely useless. It would be good to have staff to remind people of the rules.

    Nice little place, nice people, good location and inexpensive. Easy check in and the convenience store right outside was very … convenient.

    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Like all hostels in large cities, the space is very cramped, so the common space and walkways are very narrow.

    Location is good: easy to access various tram lines, busses, and trains. The beds are spacious-enough and have each bed has a private luggage storage area, which I very much liked. The bed curtains are thick enough to give a decent amount of privacy.

    Had a pleasant stay at Guesthouse Poptone.

    - Limited dining options on-site - some light in the sleeping area from the enlightened Poptone sign in the window - since we booked after 4pm the self check-in information didn't reach us automatically, nobody was at the reception, but after messaging the owner the check in instructions where given fast

    -Convenient location close to the main attractions like Peace Park, Peace Memorial Museum,... (-walking distance through city center 20 minutes) - combini next door - clean rooms - nice design - tea, kettle, microwave available - nice and helpful personal -digital number lock at the door

    Few pepole asked me , They don't know how to get in the room ,and find thier bed. Before checki in You must look for the message from the Guesthouse POPTONE on your egent site ,as booking com on your cell phone. The room instructions are there. Without those instructions, You don't know what to do.

    Good base for overseas tourists. There's a 24-hour store next door, so you can always get the drinks and hot meals you need. They have a cash dispenser also. Good location ,very quiet erea. 5 minutes to transportation station. 15 minutes walk from Hiroshima station The self-check-in system、There is no attendant. means you don't have to worry about late check in . However, it is difficult to enter the room late at night. you have to search your bed carefully
