Omotenashi Hostel Miyajima

The shared / common areas are wonderful. The rooms are big with AC. In the common areas there is so much space to eat, enough tables for multiple people to sit at and eat together that it doesn’t feel crowded. The seating in the living room is very good too. One of us spent a day drawing there without any disturbance. It is possible to microwave, toast, grill, cook your own food. There are enough dishes, bowls, cups for everyone, also knifes, cutting boards, pans, pots, and there’s a rice cooker, a microwave and plates. There’s a shared fridge with enough room. Hot tap water 24/7. For families: diapers, toys, play area provided. For teens: shelves full of manga as room separators. A ping pong table. 5min away from tram. 30 minutes public transport to insanely beautiful shrine & temple island Miyajima. Vending machines. Free amenities from toothbrush to toner to shaving equipment to combs for free. ROOFTOP! It’s just amazing to sit there and admire the ocean view. Sunrise & sundown over the sea! The staff was awesome and helpful, we could put stickers on a map with our countries. Big, big YES. We recommend it ! Car parking also available for a fee. We loved all about it.

One of the best hostels ive stayed in, the girl in reception kindly let me put my bicycle in the entrance hall which is locked at night and very secure. The hostel is nicely located about 3 kms ftom the ferry so it was great to go there after a day on the island seeing the Tori gate etc. They serve evening meals up until 21.30 and the meal i had was great along with the breakfast the next morning. The hostel has a big comfortable lounge and kitchen area and great showers. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Everything. I really like the location. Although is a bit far from everything, the locations is perfect if you want to disconnect. They rent bikes for 200 yen per day so its easy to go places. I took the bike to the ferry station and ride back to the hostel after spending the day in the island. The staff is VERY NICE and the food they offer is outstanding (in my opinion).

Private room with a sea view was wonderful. The communal area was spacious and comfortable. It was so convenient to be able to have a hot meal from their restaurant when I didn’t have the energy to go out and get something. The staff were all so friendly and helpful.

For families or single travellers, really good facilities for a hostel. Play, library and games corners with a table tennis table. Very clean common areas. Dedicated womens' shower. Reasonably close to the tram station. Huge family rooms with decor that would appeal to children.
