Washing machine available, everything you would expect from a budget friendly capsule hotel, good location, only some of the mattresses in the rooms which were not updated yet would use an exchange since especially towards the middle they aren’t so thick (compared to the sides).
This is a great hostel. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They speak good English and there are many other solo travelers that come here. I met some great people. There's a kitchen too that's well equipped.
The bedrooms are also very spacious and comfy.
My only downside is being woken up at 10am everyday as the staff come in to clean the rooms from guests that have checked out.
The Santiago Hotel presents itself as the premier option for budget-conscious travelers and sightseers whose main priority is location and convenience in Hiroshima. Situated right in the city center, the hotel offers outstanding value, allowing guests to stay in a clean, private space without the high cost typically associated with such a central location.
The primary strength of the Santiago Hotel is its genuinely unbeatable location. Guests can walk to major landmarks, including the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, in just a few minutes. This centrality extends to local life, with easy access to shopping areas and central dining options, such as the famous Okonomi-mura. Furthermore, the property itself is relatively new, having opened or been significantly renovated around 2020, ensuring a clean and modern environment.
I was reluctant to stay in the center of Hiroshima due to the high prices, but I'm glad I was able to stay at a cheap price since it was only one station away from Hiroshima Station. The room was clean and the coffee service in the lobby was nice. However, I had a full schedule and didn't have time to relax. Next time, I would like to schedule a time to relax and drink coffee. There were several connecting trains from Hiroshima Station every hour, so I didn't feel inconvenienced.
I used it because the nearest station in relation to work was Yokogawa.
It is also close to the station. It may feel a little hard in midsummer.
It's a hotel or really a one-room condominium.
Since I stayed for consecutive nights, I washed my underwear by hand and put it around, but the bath was also dry in the bathroom, which was helpful. The bath is the same as home ones, and there is a separate washroom and bathtub.
There was a bath towel 1 sheet and a normal size towel 1. I wanted to use the bath towel as a pillow, so I could only use the rectangular ordinary towel for the first night, but it was quite a bit. The next day, I told the front desk that I didn't need a bath towel, so I wanted two ordinary towels, and I was refused. So it might be better for the normal size group to bring in than the bath towel.
There is a 7-Eleven nearby, but I used it around 08:30, but there were few rice balls.
Overall it was good.
3 minutes from the tram stop, not the kind of hotel that will open a party, everyone is very quiet, the sheets and pillowcases are laid by themselves. There is a kitchen where you can cook and boil water, bring your own dental appliances, and rent 200 yen for bath towels.
I stayed in a capsule-type room, but the bedroom was spacious enough and there was a table and chair where you could eat. There was also a large public bath and manga books. As a welcome drink, you could drink as much sake and chuhai as you wanted, and although they were retort pouches, you could also eat beef bowls and Chinese rice bowls for free. If you register for the app, you could also eat ramen for free.
The building itself may be old, but it was well-cleaned and I have no complaints.
The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of options, although it costs extra, so it's better to choose a plan that includes breakfast in advance.
This is a recommended hotel.
The size of the room is OK, it is large in Japan, there is an internal hot spring, breakfast is also very good, although the variety is not so much, but it is very delicious, 5 minutes walk from Sanhara Station, there is also a bus to Hiroshima Airport at the door, 20 minutes to the end, very convenient.
Very Good

GGuest UserThis is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in. I love the location as it is in a quiet neighbourhood in a low rise building which feels very cozy. It’s a 10 min walk to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
The hotel staff were wonderful and graciously provided me an upgrade to their best room for my overnight stay. This room was incredibly spacious and the bathroom was huge as well. The shower is in a separated room to the bathroom and has both an area to do stand up shower or use the bathtub/jacuzzi.
I do wish they provided free bottled water but that’s my only complaint and it doesn’t matter much. I did have the free coffee in the morning which helped perk me up.
Anyways I love this place and it was such good value. I will definitely book this hotel again if I come to Hiroshima in the future.
GGuest UserOne of the best seaside Japanese inns with can’t-beat view of the bay. The individual rooms are very clean and tidy with traditional tatami floors and furniture. The futon bedding was clean and comfortable. There is a common bathroom on each floor with a separate common bathing room on the second floor where you can scrub down and soak in a bath. These traditional amenities are great experiences in themselves. The staff are kind and helpful and go beyond to make your stay enjoyable. They let me borrow a bicycle to ride around town and the island. Paddle boards are available for rent. The breakfast at the Alpha Cafe had an English style to it and was tasty. I’d highly recommend a stay here. The retro look and feel to the place is a charm.
GGuest UserAmazing hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. I stayed here for 8 nights as I had to go to Japan after my torn got injured playing Rugby. My son, who was on crutches, stayed with me. They were very helpful with him when he needed to get a taxi to the hospital, etc. When needing to clean, the room the staff waited patiently for him to get up move. There were plenty of shops around to get drinks and food, a washing machine at the hotel to use. They offer breakfast in the morning, no evening meals, and there is a microwave available to be able to heat up meals.
AAnonymous UserHonestly one of the best hostels I’ve stayed I Japan. Elegant design, clean, helpful and friendly staff. There is a large Aeon right next to it so buying snacks or dinner is easy too. It’s a little far from the central area, but still walkable.
Vviva2548Budget friendly hostel in a good location. It is walking distance to Hiroshima station so it's very convenient. Only one thing my dormitory just next to the kitchen and it was noisy from the kitchen... People talk so lound and my last day early morning there are hangover backpackers in the room. A bit feels unsafe so stay alert
IIt’s Me AntoStayed here with my brother.
The check-in was a bit confusing as I didn't receive any instructions before arriving, and at the time of arrivin,g no one was present to explain, though we managed it.
The man that was managing the building was kind after we managed to meet him.
The location was good enough for us.
The rooms close with a gate it feels like a prison, though overall it was a good Ryokan experience.
DDiazboy85Looks like an old hotel, but a nice surrounding area and near the city center of Saijo.
Reception service is only until 24.00, it is difficult for who will come to the hotel after 24.00.
TTouravelholicGood place and near to the convenient stores.The place is so perfect for the family.my kids enjoyed the projector,but there is no elevator.we carried our big luggage going to second floor.No free car parking but have a nearest coin parking.check out time is so early 10am.I suggest to make it 11am because some of the guests have a kids hard to wake them up early,especially if you are a tourist.
