Nikke Building Rooms 401 and 402 | A 63㎡ Group Apartment in Hatchobori: How to Weigh Space Against Street Noise
Nikke Building (401, 402)
How to stay here
- Hatchobori is handy for department stores, Hondori and Shintenchi dining.
- Rooms 401 and 402 are about 63㎡, with four large beds a group can divide up.
- The kitchen and laundry setup suits longer stays.
How Would I Choose?
If you want to stay in Hatchobori and keep a group in one apartment, I would look at Nikke Building; rooms 401 and 402 offer about 63㎡ and four large beds, but anyone sensitive to traffic noise should be more cautious.
Nikke Building is located at Hatchobori 12-2, and rooms 401 and 402 suit families or groups of friends who want shopping and eating out as the focus. What draws me is the roughly 63㎡ of space and four large beds; the main trade-off is street noise and noise from people coming and going next door.
63㎡ and Four Large Beds — Even for Ten Guests, Leave Shared Space
Rooms 401 and 402 are each about 63㎡, with four large beds plus a sofa bed, for up to 10 guests. Guests of room 402 in August 2026 liked the large beds and the spaciousness; in 2024, a family guest mentioned four beds lined up side by side, which the children loved.
For me, the value of this way of staying is that everyone can be in the same apartment. With ten guests, the sofa bed comes into use, and evening routines and unpacking have to work around the sleeping areas; it suits families or friends who are happy to share beds and keep similar hours.

Department Stores, Hondori and Shintenchi — Dining Is Easy to Plan
Hatchobori 12-2, Naka-ku, 730-0013 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
I would put a day of Hatchobori department stores, Hondori and a Shintenchi dinner together; for Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, pick a shop in Okonomimura. Shukkeien Garden can take a separate morning, so shopping and a garden visit each keep their own pace.
On arrival, use the Hatchobori 12-2 address and the check-in information for room 401 or 402 to find the entrance. Guests have found the entrance hard to spot, so I would save the building frontage and entry directions, and agree a meeting plan in advance with companions arriving separately, so the first day is not spent looking for the room.

Street and Neighbour Noise Is the Clear Trade-Off Here
Noise is a trade-off worth weighing seriously: in 2024, guests said traffic at the intersection and tram noise disturbed sleep, and even the earplugs provided were not ideal; in 2025, another guest staying three nights mentioned street-facing and neighbouring-room entry noise. For anyone sensitive to sound, I would weigh sleep ahead of a large room.
Guests of room 401 in 2025 found it clean, while in 2026 another guest noted dust on the remote-control box; there was also earlier feedback about debris on the floor. I would weigh cleaning details, traffic noise and the Hatchobori location together.
Kitchen and In-Room Washing Machine
Guests have praised the kitchen and in-room washing machine; on a longer stay they can be used to heat simple meals and sort laundry. With days spent in Hatchobori and Hondori and dinners left to restaurants outside, ten guests do not have to move together for every meal.
Strengths and Trade-Offs to Accept
Strengths I value
- Hatchobori is handy for department stores, Hondori and Shintenchi dining.
- Rooms 401 and 402 are about 63㎡, with four large beds a group can divide up.
- The kitchen and laundry setup suits longer stays.
Think through before booking
- Guests staying over New Year reported traffic and neighbouring-room entry noise.
- There were comments about floor debris, dust and other cleaning details.
