Nice placement

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.
