Enjoyed my stay at Santiago! The staff are friendly and I felt welcomed by everyone:) Working for around a couple of hours a day gives you the perfect chance to explore Hiroshima!

Great guesthouse and a nice group of fellow volunteers. The work is very doable and you have plenty of spare time to go around the city and its surroundings!

My time at Santiago the hostel was great!! All my fellow staff were amazing people and I felt at home right from the beginning. It is a very nice Hostel and there is always something going on in the common area. The tasks were very easy and usually didn't take longer than 2 hours per day, 3 days per week!

It was a nice experience to stay at Santiago the hostel because you have so much time to travel. You have 3 days off a week and can ask for flexible holiday if you want to have some days in a row off. The people there are communicativ and want to hang out, you will meet many other international travelers. However, the beds you sleep in are very dark and you sleep with many other people in a dorm. Be aware that you don't really have privacy. Additionally, the hostel doesn't provide the best and especially not environmentally friendly cleaning equipment, which I find a bit sad.

From the very first day that I walked into the Guesthouse, everyone made me feel right at home! The working hours were very flexible which gave me more than enough time to chill out, explore and enjoy life. The owner of this Guesthouse (Masa) is very a friendly and kind hearted man who cares alot about the welfare of his helpers/staff. By working at this hostel, I was able to make alot of friends from many different backgrounds which was a big highlight! Overall, it was such a pleasure to be able to work at Santiago the hostel, and I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!!

Although I only stayed here 2 and a half weeks, I felt really welcomed by everyone at Santiago. The work is very easy (I did just 3 hours a week) and in return I got to explore so much of Hiroshima and spend lots of time with both volunteers and guests. I would have loved to have stayed longer, and would highly recommend this experience overall :)

I had a fantastic time at Santiago Hiroshima. Everyone was so welcoming and it felt like home from day one. I was able to meet and chat with many locals and travellers during my stay. It was a great experience to explore and live in such a historic city. Im happy for every interaction i had and what I've learnt about hospitality will be a great asset. Thank you everyone!

It was a excellent experience. The staff is very friendly and welcoming from the first day I arrived. It felt like a second family as I volunteered here.

Santiago guesthouse Hiroshima was amazing. The work is easy and normally fast. The customers enjoy spending time with the stuff and there is a very cool atmosphere. The hostel is central and you can walk in the whole city. Masa San is very nice and flexible, I got problems with my visa and arrived 4 days later and he never complained or said anything. Some days he did invite us to some meal (for example for Christmas ). It was an extraordinary experience I would love to repeat

My first experience doing a Worldpackers experience and it generally was a good one. The work wasn't strenuous and the hours were unreal. All the people there from long term guests to helpers and full time staff were quality people. Facilities are great and rooms are good, with the curtains being the biggest sell. The main problem I had was there is a huge bed bug issue in the place that's been an issue for many months, despite the work put in to get rid of them it's not been effective and the place needs professionally fumigated which is the only way the problem will be fixed.
