Wholeearth Ryokan Hiroshima

Room as advertised. Room of a good size for Japan. Easy check-in and check-out procedures. Rooms can be easily locked from inside (simple lock) or when you leave the room via a key you can keep with you. Quiet street, which is very enjoyable

The futons are not as comfortable as other places, we could feel the floor. We had the room A which is the first on the left at the entrance. It was sometimes noisy due to no insulation (and inconsiderate travellers). The lights at the entrance are not automatic. People tend to leave it on which provides extra light especially in room A. We had to get up a few times in the night to turn it off ourselves. A potential improvement would be to have them sensor-based.

Amazing experience staying in a traditional Japanese home. We thought sleeping on the futon could have been discomfortable but turned out it was the exact opposite! We never met the owner but communication was super easy and fast. The place isn't close to the city center but you can reach the tran station by foot in less than 5 minutes and that you are in a very good position to get both to the city or to the famous Miyajima.

Toilet and the shower (the room, not the water) were a bit cold. It was winter tho...

Great room size, comfy place especially for what you pay. It's in a quiet neighborhood with the basics around, train connection nearby. Everything is well kept and clean. Highly recommend

The washing machine didn't work too well, and it was challenging to find place for hanging stuff to dry (no dryer). This is only a minor point, for the price it's great they have a washing machine available at all

I liked the traditional set up of the room.

The bathroom didn't have a light switch, and it was a bit far from the main city center. Also, walking to places like the mall required crossing busy streets. I didn't see any of the staff members except one briefly when I arrived.
