Simple Stay Miyajima – Hostel

Simple lodging with very basic facilities. Adequate for budget travelers.

Excellent place. Very easy to check in. Very good communication. I recommend!

A great budget option in Miyajima, it is a five minutes walk from the JR Miyajima station and within walking distance of the ferry terminal. We were upgraded to a room with two bunk beds and it was a comfortable stay though it did get a bit noisy at times since the sliding door did not block the sound of people moving and talking in the corridor. Facilities are like most hostels and you get what you pay for.

Simple Stay is located approximately 3-5min walk from Miyajimaguchi station. The price is pretty easy on the pocket, so the expectation on living at the location isn’t very high. The hostel provided basic facilities (shower room, toilets, wash basin, washing machine & dryer) and is an unmanned counter that provided a generally smooth check-in/check-out experience. The hostel had a shared kitchen but was not properly taken care of. There was a pot of hot oil with what looked like residue of post deep frying, and the area was generally messy. I guess having some time slots to upkeep the area before any guests’ arrival might create better impression. The room was decent and quite spacious. Most guests were also respectful of each other so the overall living experience was positive.

We were there around June 24 2023. Check-in was done via remote. The property manager emailed me the front door code and left the key on the counter. We stayed there for one night and stayed in a room with four bunks. There are shared toilets and showers on each floor and were clean. There are additional sinks and mirrors situated in the hallways as well. Although the hostel was fully booked, we didn't really see any other guests during our stay, so it was extremely quiet. The AC in the room was powerful and despite the small size room, it was overall adequate. There are laundry machines (wash dry) on-site. The hostel is in a fantastic location, less than a 5 minute walk from the JR station, and about 8 minutes walk from the ferry to Miyagima island. I would recommend this hostel if you're looking for basic economy.

No one was at the desk when we first arrived. We waited until 3:30pm but no one showed up so we had to pay to store our luggage while we explored. Otherwise this is very bare-bones, as expected. Would not recommend staying for more than one night. Great cajun restaurant across the street though, and close to ferry and train stations.

The room was small and clean. Near to the ferry station to Miyajima Island like I needed. Value of money.

Great location near ferry and station, but was positioned on a very busy street with no footpath. There were no blinds in the room so the street light and early morning sun shone straight in.

Nice placd to stay. Just a short train ride away to the next prefecture as well.

Love this place Very affordable price, clean facilities, close to ferry and kind staffs

Simple and clean. Very basic which is reflected in the price.pleasant welcome and comfortable beds. Small kitchen with hot water and microwave was useful. Well placed between station and ferry for a brief stopover. Definitely no frills!

We booked this room as a stopover between Hiroshima and Miyajima, and while it wasn't super comfortable, it did its job admirably. Despite being a budget hotel, it was immaculately clean and the condition of the building was very good. Our room was spotless, but the beds were pretty uncomfortable. The walls were also pretty thin, so we heard drunk people conversing and laughing until late into the night. Bring your earplugs so you can get an early start to Miyajima in the morning, before the hordes come. Tips: 1) The staff we encountered didn't speak much English. I speak Japanese, so not an issue for us, but just FYI. 2) There's a giant Gundam in the lobby you should take a picture with. Just do it.

Very closed to the ferry port, good stay

沖涼要100YEN/5分鐘, 心情沖得比較緊張, TOILET都好清潔, 房間比較細同簡單, 只有床,桌子,椅子, 好彩有冷氣,欠掛勾, 近碼頭去宮島,近JR 5MIN,非常方便

The bedding was clean, but don't expect anything else. No one at the desk, no lounge, and you have to buy towels and rent shower time. Right beside a major road. (You can buy earplugs.) Nothing in the room but the futons (better than the bunks, I gather) - no hook on the wall even. It is a hostel, but I've been at others that provided quite a bit more for the same price. I guess you pay for the great location, which we took advantage of.

If you really want a place that is affordable and will give you the bare essentials, a place to sleep, this is where you would want to go. The heater wasn't working in the room, so my family was really cold that night. It is 300 yen/room to shower. Just buy a ticket downstairs.

Hotel is cheep. If you don't mind sleeping on springs, or be woken up every time somebody moves then this is the place for you. Other than that this is a pretty normal place. Good toilet and showers. Close to the ferry

Terrible place. Very dirty, black mold in bathroom and some sleeping room. Very bad service: i didn't get the code for the door and no reception even though I was there at 7pm (supposed to be open until 8pm). I tried to send messages, call but not much help to get, poor english and they didn't seem to care that I was locked outside. Finally I got help from someone passing by in the street who got the door code for me. I'll rather stay at the hotel from The Shinning than staying in this dump again.

駅近くは便利　寝れたらok! の人はストレスなく過ごせそう

値段がとても安いにも関わらず、綺麗なベッドやトイレが用意されていました。立地も厳島神社行フェリー乗り場に近いため良かったです。初めての一人旅で不安でしたが、この宿泊施設を選んで正解でした。
