2-Star Hotels in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

I recently stayed at Capsule Hotel Cube Hiroshima for a few nights—this was my second visit. Overall, it’s a great place, but a few small issues have started to surface. Positives: The staff are wonderful—friendly and attentive. You receive fresh towels, pajamas, and cleaning amenities daily. Good location, making it convenient for exploring Hiroshima. Areas for Improvement: Limited showers: Only three per floor, shared by many guests. At peak times, you might wait over an hour, and by then, the showers can be a bit dirty (e.g., hair left behind). Laundry bottleneck: Each floor has just one washer and dryer. The dryer is especially slow—it took four 30-minute cycles just to dry six t-shirts. Vending machines lack variety: No cola or Pepsi—just beer and water. Not a major issue, but worth noting. Fridge access is inconvenient: The communal fridge is behind reception, meaning you must hand over items to staff. A small fridge on each floor would be much more practical. Worn-out mattresses: The memory foam mattresses have sunk in from overuse. They haven’t been flipped or replaced, which leads to uncomfortable sleep and back/hip pain. Final Thoughts: Despite these downsides, I would stay here again. However, guests should be prepared for some minor inconveniences. If the hotel made a few simple upgrades—like replacing mattresses, improving laundry facilities, and adding accessible fridges—it could easily be one of the best capsule hotels in Hiroshima.

I stayed here solo and absolutely loved the experience. The location is super convenient—just a few minutes’ walk from the station, which made day trips and late arrivals stress-free. The hostel has a warm, minimalist Japanese aesthetic, and the common area is cozy and social without being noisy. Staff were friendly and spoke good English, and the check-in process was smooth. The dorm beds had privacy curtains, reading lights, and lockers—perfect for solo travelers. Everything was clean and well-kept. Highly recommend if you’re traveling alone and want both comfort and convenience.

The hotel room was extremely small, but the location was perfect. It was very close to Hiroshima Station, and since it was located downtown, it was super convenient. However, I was not happy with the room condition. It was especially noisy, probably because the walls were too thin. The noise disturbed my sleep every morning during my trip. On top of that, the room felt quite old and outdated. Well, at least it was cheap. I guess I got what I paid for.

This 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.

As soon as I entered the door, two female staff wearing masks looked at me, very cold, I went to the counter to check in and pointed to me to check in by myself. I entered a few voucher no. I failed, I asked the staff to help, she came over reluctantly, the impression was not very good. The other female and male staff were very warm and courteous. The bath is not big, but only me and my daughter so it's OK. The breakfast environment is very open, there are not many food choices, it seems that only 9AM or 9:30AM, 10AM CHECK OUT are provided earlier.

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 traffic is too convenient, 400 meters from the subway, there are luggage weighing and free drinks and microwave ovens in the lobby. Nearby is the convenience store, there are several large shopping malls such as Takashimaya and Kintetsu Department Store. The front desk service is particularly warm and the service is very good! The room is clean and tidy, the bedding is also very clean and tidy, the room area is also very large, welcome to Japan tourists to choose this hotel is the best choice!

Good 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.

I had a very comfortable rest and went! First of all, if you don't mind walking, you can stay at a good price. There are also convenient facilities nearby. One day, it rained so I didn't go out much, but I was able to borrow an umbrella at the front desk, which was convenient!! I couldn't open the window, and it was blocked by a wall, so the sun didn't come in well, but there was a ventilator, so the air was pleasant. I had a comfortable rest~

Probably the best hostel I've ever stayed at. It is almost looks like a spaceship. Everything is incredibly modern and clean, from the capsule beds to the toilets and showers. They have a washing machine (300¥) and a dryer (100¥). Coffee, water and Macha tea are free. They give towels and a bathrobe to use for free. As well as many other toilet products (including a razor!). If you're going to Onomichi to rent a bike, then the location can't be better. It's literally in the same building as the bike rental shop and 3 minutes away from Onomichi station on foot. Deserves a 10/10 rating.
