Incredible location just across from the Hiroshima Peace Park and museum, and the main shopping and commercial district. Very well managed and organized with efficient check in, its easy to drop bags and get on with the day. The common area and kitchen is well equipped. Plenty of room for bags away from the sleeping area, lockers for valuables and lots of sinks and toilets on each floor. Sleeping area was fine, private, clean and comfortable enough.

Can never control the people who stay, so had one night which was completely quiet, then next night a noisy couple banging and talking loudly until the early hours. The lockers backed onto the beds so constantly banging locker doors can be irritating but most people have the sense to not do this. Wifi for some reason would drop in the late evening to a virtual halt, but fine the rest of the time.

The common spaces are in a different floor from the shared room and it has laundry, tables to eat and work, tv, fridge, microwave and other facilities that help you with your daily basics. The receptionist has a fluent English conversational skills, so do not worry about the language barrier. She was super nice and she let me park my car in the hostel parking lot for free because she said the parking lot around were very expensive and recommended us a delicious Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Very nice service from her.

It is a hostel, so you expect to sleep in a kind of capsule, but sometimes the room temperature was not cold enough. However, you can sleep perfectly fine!

The staff was super friendly and helpful. I had problems with my train and I've arrived much later than planned but they made sure there was a letter for me at the entrance with all the leads. After that I also left the hostel without bringing the door code with me or taking a picture of it but they were very fast to reply and help me get in again, even tho it was a bit late already. Location was amazing: just as few minutes from all the turistic spots!

this is a great place to stay in a great location, the peace memorial museum is literally down the road not even a 5 min walk and the bus stops are really close too. the number of facilities is great, you won’t be waiting for a shower or toilet at any time. i found the beds a bit bigger than ur usual dorm beds which is nice but the mattress was a bit hard but it was still comfy enough. the receptionist was really nice and she spoke great english :)

nothing really to complain about, like i mentioned the mattress was a little hard but that’s about it.

It has been quite some time since I last stayed in a hostel. I had forgotten how comfortable it can be, even in a shared room. The location was very convenient, being close to the city loop bus station. Although I did not have the opportunity to meet any of the staff, I would like to thank them for accommodating my request. Regarding the facilities, I particularly appreciated the separate, well-equipped, and sufficient shower area for women.

I just hope they provide drinking water and fix the toilet for women on the fourth floor.

Location is amazing right in front of the peace park and museum as well as the tower and the ferries to miyajima. The bus from the station takes you straight there if you get off at the peace park. The host is an older Japanese lady who's English is excellent she allowed us to check in early and was o friendly and helpful with everything we needed as well as directions. Truly made the trip. The room was spotless as were the bathrooms. Would 100,% return . Even able to store out luggage securely too on our check out day

Nothing negative.

The staff are so kind and want to make sure you are looked after. I arrived early to drop off my bags and they let me check in then and there. Their English is incredible too. It is a 1-minute walk to the peace memorial and 15-minutes to town. The capsules are very dark and comfortable, with a little shelf, allowing for a good night sleep. There is plenty of luggage storage space (with locks) and a locker that can squeeze in a bulky backpack. There is a bank of sinks in the sleeping room with a good amount of counter space, as well as two counters in the shower room. The staff brings you a fresh hand towel each day, too! The kitchen is well equipped and there is free coffee and tea. The living area has lots of games (both video and board).

I didn't like having the shower on a separate floor as it takes some organisation, but I understand the use of space. Outdoor slippers for going between floors would have made this more convenient.

Very affordable and good value hostel for the location - right across from the Peace Museum and Park (you can see the sign from there!). The lady at the front reception and an older lady were very sweet and helpful, and spoke perfect English. Limited toilet cubicle per floor but never had an issue with needing to wait. Nice warm toilet seats on bidet! Each dorm bed had a nice large shelf above the head to put all of your things and a powerpoint. Daily face towel (small) provided.

Dorms were a bit on the older side, was handy to have sinks in the room but could get noisy if people were using them late in the night. Would also be handy if the dorm/main room light was sensor so the rooms can be darker at night, rather than having light coming through the dorm bed curtain. Showers are on a different floor to dorms which is a bit inconvenient to get to, especially when the weather is cold.

What a great place! Facilities are top notch. I booked a shared down to actually see that there was a door between the 2 areas, dividing males & females. Common areas were then shared for everyone. Beds were spacious and comfortable. There is a whole floor dedicated to kitchen / living / dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can make your own meals anytime. Bathrooms are clean and so are the shower. Amazing shower facilities with powder room. There are also washing machines and drying machines (working with coins, 100JPY). The lady running the hostel is incredibly sweet and speaks really good English. The hostel is located a few hundreds meters from the Peace Memorial Park & museums. Hiroshima train station is a couple of bus stops away and the bus stops about 200m from the entrance. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Hiroshima!

Hostel Mallika was an amazing place to spend a few days in the lovely Hiroshima, the location is great, quiet, the building is easy to locate. All the amenities included, showers are awesome. The place is super clean and the customer service is helpful and efficient, quick answers when you need them. People were very respectful to each other, and although the capsules are as you expect small, they are very comfy. The people allowed us to leave our luggage after our check out, which helped my back a lot. Big thanks for that. Close by this is a popular restaurant to try the famous Okonomiyaki.

The only weak spot is the side of the towels, a bit small specially for someone tall or women's long hair. And the TV remote control needs a replacement.
