The reception staff were truly very kind and professional.
Everything was clean and smelled amazing, the bed was comfortable, and there was even a TV. The room was quite small, but for the price, I think it was perfect! You still have your own private space and plenty of peace and quiet. They also provided a kit with a wonderful pajama set, which I honestly would have loved to buy it.
Highly recommended!!
The place was quite clean, and the service was excellent. Laundry is super affordable at 200 yen, significantly cheaper than other hostels which typically charge 300-500 yen. They also have a dryer, so rainy days aren't an issue. The only drawback is that it's a wooden, detached house (not reinforced concrete), so the sound insulation isn't the best. Guests need to be mindful of their footsteps; walking heavily could lead to thumping noises audible downstairs, potentially causing complaints. Furthermore, showering is generally not permitted after midnight, as the sound of running water can disturb those on lower floors. Also, guests are required to make their own beds (sheets, pillowcase, duvet cover) upon arrival, and strip them off, placing them in the designated laundry basket upon check-out. If you're unwilling to do this or find making your own bed a hassle, you might want to consider booking elsewhere.
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.
It is only 1 station away from Hiroshima Station, but the transportation is convenient and a short walk. The station has an elevator, convenient to carry luggage, clean rooms, large bathrooms, proportionate. Coffee and snacks are provided. In the evening, instant noodles are also available. Can store your luggage The bed was comfortable and very impressed.
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.
I stayed here when I was traveling to Hiroshima. It was very convenient to have a Lawson nearby. The accommodation price was also cheap and reasonable.
2-night stay
Location: Easy to find, a 5-minute walk straight from JR Miharashi Station, and a 5-minute walk to AEON. There are many restaurants, a large public bath, and one hour of free bicycle rental.
Service: Attentive, prompt, and proactive; very polite; one complimentary beer per person per day.
Room: Spacious, well-laid out, elegantly decorated, comfortable bedding, clean, strong shower water pressure, and ideal soundproofing. A combination lock is used to open the room door. A complimentary bottle of water is provided if cleaning is not required.

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 UserBudget hotel, in a very lively location-perhaps too lively for my liking as was very noisy in the eatly morning hours. Staff were really great and attentive, and was worth the price paid.
TtorislimI'd seen Cyclist in a magazine years ago, and my trip to Hiroshima made it a must-see. Arriving in Onomichi, I discovered that U2, the most iconic building in the area, is a complex of hotels, restaurants, shops, and a cycling club. Even with its industrial style, the details are impeccable. The room layout was very practical, the bathroom had a bathtub and was spacious, and all the toiletries were from Osaji, with a very soothing lavender scent.
The only drawback was the lack of body lotion. Given Osaji's high-quality amenities, and considering Japan's dry climate, body lotion is essential in a space without a humidifier.
The hotel offers bicycle rental by reservation, but if you don't have a reservation, you can rent from the adjacent Giant shop, which has a wide selection of models. The hotel has a cafe and bakery right next to each other, so you can buy bread and then grab a coffee. The harbor view is amazing, but unfortunately, the weather wasn't great due to the rainy season.
GGuest UserThe owner was a very friendly couple, and it was a space that made me smile naturally. The facilities were very beautiful and it was a hostel that I wanted to come again. The pork burger for breakfast was also delicious! It seems that overseas people often stay.
It's a bit of a walk from the station, but there are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, and there is a public bath, so I think it's the best without complaint.
GGuest UserWe stayed for just one night and were extremely satisfied! It's only about a 10-minute walk from the station, and there's a supermarket nearby, so we felt safe no matter what we needed. Furthermore, the building and the room itself had a very stylish, fashionable, and reassuring design, making it very comfortable. Thank you!
The bed in the photo is a little messy because we put our luggage there. 💦🙇♀️
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
PPolinaAbsolutely gorgeous place and the nicest owner! Rooms are cozy and clean. Air conditioning is working perfectly even in this scolding hot summer. The food is amazing! We highly recommend to try both dinner and Japanese breakfast, it is wonderful!
Overall this place is very peaceful and gorgeous. Try to stay at least for 2 nights!
Thank you so much for your kindness and care, we will try to return next year!
