What guests think

Santiago Guesthouse Hiroshima suits budget-minded travelers with an excellent location near sights, generally clean facilities, lively common spaces, and mostly friendly staff, though experiences vary between private rooms and busier dorms, especially at peak times.

Several reviews mention thin walls and late-night noise, and some dorms feel hot, crowded, or have firm beds. A few guests noted dusty areas, occasional odors, or mold in some showers, and showers may be located on a different floor from your room; some also experienced slow or limited-hours check-in. Overall, expect a low-cost, well-located hostel stay that suits unfussy travelers more than light sleepers.

Everything about the place was avarage. Too many people in the rooms, and there are no lockers for storage so everyone leaves their luggage outside the beds. But the price is ok and the location is nice.

本通りや路面電車の駅も近く、立地が良い。ランドリーは300円だったが完備されており、シャワールームもたくさんあったので待つことはなかった。スリッパやタオル、歯ブラシはないので持ってくるか、近くのダイソーで購入することをオススメする。この立地で、この安さなので言うことなし、コスパ大満足です。神経質な方はホテルに泊まった方が良いです。

The location was excellent as it is far enough from the noise yet close enough to attractions and amenities. It is worth noting that the hostel rooms are spread across 4 floors and showers are only available in one.

An excellent little hostel. Don't let the lack of an entrance put you off - this hostel has a really welcoming open shared Lounge and kitchen area with all the necessary appliances. Each bed comes with a small locker, enough for your valuable possessions as opposed to large bags or suitcases. You've got to compare it to a pod hotel as the beds are obviously dorms but very clean and comfortable. Staff are very friendly and happy to help out. When I was there they were even offering free bed's for anyone who helped out with cleaning and general work jobs. Gutted to have seen this when I had booked my next spot otherwise I would have liked to stay longer.

We stayed in a private room and its just exactly that. No towles provided, however there was a dirty towl left handing on a wall hook when we arrived in the room... There were toilets and sinks on our floor however you need to get into the lift and go to a different floor for the showers. The bed was comfy however you can hear everything and people had little respect of that we found. Maybe we were nieve but we expected more guest house and less hostel.

The location is absolutely wonderful, you’re close to pretty much everything you would need or want as a tourist. However, there were some downsides. There were people coming and going at all hours and the walls are incredibly thin so we could hear every movement, every night I was woken by someone yelling, slamming doors, or clunking away at something, we could also hear snoring from a few rooms away, and we had the unfortunate location of being right next to the floors ventilation system which was loud and running the whole time. So definitely wouldn’t recommend for light sleepers. But then again maybe we were just unlucky! The wifi was abysmal, we couldn’t load a Google search or our banking app, so had to rely on our data plans. In saying this, the facilities were great, mostly clean and tidy (excluding some of the showers which seemed to be a bit mouldy) with a nice social common area and nice friendly staff.

Nos quedamos en la habitación comunal. Son 20 o más personas en un cuarto lo cual per se generará olores y aromas de todo tipo. No lo recomiendo si eres de nariz sensible o nauseosa. El espacio en donde dejas los zapatos en la entrada aunque tratan de mantenerlo fuera de olores es imposible y ojo, esto no tiene que ver con el staff sino con la gente que se hospeda que no cuida sus pies y tiene mal olor. Te dan sábanas limpias y hay un letrero que indica como hay que hacerla. El baño está limpio solo que si eres mujer toma en cuenta que es mixto. Yo básicamente lo utilicé para llegar a bañarme y dormir ambos días y cumple perfecto esa función. Hablan inglés y español lo cual fue bueno.

Affordable stay option within the quieter part of Hiroshima with clean facilities, friendly staff and convenient location for exploring the local area. Minutes walk to Hiroshima Hondori Shopping Street, nearby convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson and Family Mart) and reasonable travel time from Hiroshima Station (~15 mins on Hiroden Streetcar Tram to Fukuromachi Station and a few mins walk). Things to be aware of: - Limited space within dorm for re-organising luggage contents, I'd recommend having essentials in a backpack for easy access and minimise disturbance to other guests. - Lobby area can get quite warm during the day if you arrive too early as reception won't be available until 4pm, per check-in information once booked.

It was a good stay for a great price. First night was great, however second night a group of people was playing in the small halls, running around and laughing loudly past midnight, banging the walls, which are too thin. While waiting for husband to come from restroom, one of them opened the door to my room, which I left unlocked of course, just wasnt expecting someone else. He probably got lost but it was still unnerving. Overall good place to stay, just would suggest to reinforce security in the halls and reinforce the no noise after 11pm rule.
