bHOTEL Arts Dobashi | Six-Person One-Room Apartment: Choosing Two Beds and a Sofa Bed in Dobashi
bHOTEL Arts Dobashi – New Studio Apt in the City Center for 6Ppl
How to Stay Here
- About 410 m to Peace Park, easy to plan a museum visit.
- Dobashi transport and Hondori dining can be combined.
- Two double beds plus a sofa bed, for comparison as a six-person whole apartment.
How Would I Choose?
bHOTEL Arts Dobashi – New Studio Apt in the City Center for 6Ppl is one to compare when I want a six-person apartment in Dobashi. Two double beds and a sofa bed let family and friends stay together; my trade-off comes first, whether I accept sharing beds and a shared sleeping area, before considering the whole-apartment price.
Room-Type Differences
The one-room apartment sleeps six with two double beds and one sofa bed, with none of the privacy of separate bedrooms. If fellow travellers each want their own bed and need to close a door to rest, “for six people” alone should not be taken as a fit.
I would agree sofa-bed hours in advance, especially when some want to sleep late and others need to rise early. In a one-room apartment the communal and sleeping areas sit close together, so leaving some spare capacity may feel more comfortable than filling every sleeping place; people with a lot of luggage should also look at the activity space together.

Kitchen and Bathtub: Slow Down After Returning to the Room
This listing shows a fridge, microwave, hob and bathtub, handy for simple meals and rest after returning to the room. If you want to sit for a while during the day, note the kitokoi café at the same address; plan main meals around Hondori and Okonomimura in Shintenchi.

Arriving from Dobashi, Then Connecting to Nearby Itineraries
2-29 Dohashichō, Naka Ward, 730-0854 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
The address is 2-29 Dobashi-cho, about 410 m on foot to Peace Memorial Park, about 750 m to the museum, and about 780 m to the Atomic Bomb Dome. Starting from the west side of the park in the morning and walking slowly to the museum means the itinerary does not have to rush between transfers.
Hondori Station is about 1 km on foot, and arrival can be planned by tram from the Dobashi area. The stay uses door-code self-check-in, with entry after 15:00 and check-out before 11:00; save the actual unit number and entrance details in advance so people returning separately can coordinate more easily.

Hotel Exterior and Communal Spaces
Trade-Offs for One Night and for Longer Stays
For one night, first arrange smooth entry and taking turns with the sofa bed and bathroom; over several nights, folding the sofa bed away affects living-room life even more, so fellow travellers need to coordinate routines.
This unit suits family and friends who get along well and are willing to share sleeping and living areas. If every group needs a bedroom that closes or its own bathroom, a one-room apartment does not meet that need.
Six People in One Room: Check Fellow Travellers’ Routines First
If six people are willing to share beds and have similar routines, I would look at this one-room apartment with two double beds plus a sofa bed. The kitchen and bathtub help with daily life; if you need separate rooms with doors or each person in a regular bed, this shared layout does not fit.
Strengths and Trade-Offs to Accept
Strengths I Value
- About 410 m to Peace Park, easy to plan a museum visit.
- Dobashi transport and Hondori dining can be combined.
- Two double beds plus a sofa bed, for comparison as a six-person whole apartment.
Think Through Before Booking
- Limited privacy in a one-room layout; six people must share beds.
- Using the sofa bed affects evening living space.
- The actual unit number and other room types in the same building must be chosen separately.
