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.

A good Location!
The staff were very friendly. Went out with the staff to the Zombie-Walk night! The kitchen and laundry was easily accessible.The room was rather crowded with bunk beds. The ventilation was a little poor so the sweat smells never gone away in my mix room. Location was great! I was able to walk to all the major sightseeing places.

Nice Hostel, good location, excellent staff
We were reluctant at first to book a hostel since we have young kids, but it was almost the only place available within our budget. Don't regret it at all! Great hostel. Felt safe, and it was clean and comfortable. We reserved the private room, so it was Japanese style on tatami mats. The fold out mattresses were very comfortable and clean! The staff were so nice and helpful. We rented some bikes from them at a great rate. Only con, while the other guests staying their were nice, they were all night owls. The people above us were awake till at least 3am talking and laughing up a storm, not partying our anything, just enjoying their time, but we could just hear everything. But I would still recommend this hotel!!

Good value, friendly hostel in convenient location
Highly recommended. K's is a great little place to stay in Hiroshima and is a 10 minute walk from the station. The friendly staff speak English well and there is always the chance to exchange information with other guests. It has good kitchen & laundry facilities and is super clean. We stayed in a small private double room with a big bed (160cm) with private bathroom, which was perfectly adequate considering the spacious lounge and rooftop areas. Hiroshima accommodation can be expensive and this place is fun and good value.

Centrally located with warm, friendly staff
K's House Hiroshima is an excellent hostel, located close to Hiroshima station and 2 minutes walk to the tram line that will get you to all tourist attractions and quickly anywhere in Hiroshima. The room was a comfortable standard hostel room, with a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The kitchen facilities and common room are great. The biggest highlight are the warm, friendly and incredibly helpful staff who really make the hostel a great stay. They have ready help for sight-seeing and getting around Hiroshima, as well as excellent recommendations for local eating at affordable prices.

Close to transportation, clean and comfy!
Stayed for four nights in November 2015. Targeted at English-speaking foreigners, K's House is a nice option for traveling in and around Hiroshima. The private rooms have their own bath. The shared lounge area has couches, tables, a small kitchen and laundry facilities if you want to hang out with other travelers. There's not going on in the immediate area, but it's just a couple minutes walk from the tram and less than 10 minutes from Hiroshima Station, so it's easy to access the sights. Would definitely stay again next time we're in Hiroshima!

Great value for money well-located hostel
We only stayed on night but were very satisfied with what we experienced, especially since the cost was so reasonable. Closeness to the Peace Park, tram line and main railway station we major pluses. The kitchen was clean and functional with a generous dining area. We did not use the roof garden but can imagine it would be a great place to relax. Our main negative was noise from another room due to the the thinness of the walls.
