The Hostelz.com Review
Backpackers Hostel K's House Hiroshima is the newest hostel in Hiroshima, the latest in the K's chain of excellent hostels in Japan. The hostel just opened in September 2008. The staff are great and the place is clean and modern.
The Location
The hostel is very easy to find -- we walked straight to it following the directions on their website. It's just an easy ten-minute walk from the train station or two stops on the tram and a two-minute walk.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The hostel has four- to six-bed mixed dorms and linen is included. There's one security locker per bed in each of the clean, bright rooms (bring your own padlock). The hostel has very nice showers and bathrooms -- clean and large for hostel standards, and soap is even provided in the showers.
Common Spaces
The hostel has a decent-sized lounge with a small library in it, which is a good place to meet the other guests. A very nice kitchen and laundry facilities are available too. There is no smoking in the hostel. Quiet hour in the hostel is from 10 p.m., as it is on a residential street, but there is no curfew.
Summary
Overall K's House Hiroshima is a great choice if you're in town -- it's got a fantastic location, it's clean, has free internet, there's no curfew, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It's highly recommended.

The staff were extremely helpful and guided us with any activity or travel requirements which we had (their English was excellent too which is hard to come by in Japan). The hostel was clean and tidy and the living area was really friendly and welcoming. I stayed with my boyfriend in a double room with en-ensuite which although small and simple was very pleasant and had all the basic commodities which you would need.

The hostel is in a great spot, and the facilities (wifi, lockers, laundry, kitchen) are top class. The staff are very helpful- helping me book my next hostel and even giving you information on tides when you go to Itsukushima (the "floating shrine")! Elevators for suitcase folk also.

The hotsel was clean and friendly, the hosts spoke perfect english and were very willing to help. I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel, it's about a half an hour or more walk from most of the attractions but there is a tram line right around the corner. There was a cooking night, which gave everyone a chance to try to make the traditional hiroshima cuisine and also get to know everyone else. The rooms were comfortable and the top floor was a nice setting.

Excellent location, within walking distance from JR Station and most sightseeing spots. Friendly staff, clean rooms and bathroom / toilet, beds with lockers, individual lamps on bed, wifi access, brilliant hostel.

Everything. Easiest hostel to get to. Rooms were spacious compared to others I've been to for the same price. Showers and amenities were spotless. The lift means people with heavy luggage don't have to climb stairs. The super nice reception lady offered to call our next hostel for us. In general, she was simply happy to answer and questions and help us out. They allow you to leave bags after checkin to collect later. The kitchen and living room were big and clean. There was even a guitar you could use. Pity we were there for only a night!

K's is a friendly , clean, spacious hostel. The kitchen was outstanding as were the staff. They have origami paper and books for use (free) which was perfect for our family the night before visiting the peace memorial. The location is excellent-walking distance to peace park, close to train stations and many amenities.
