IS Building 201 Apartment: Enomachi 27㎡ — Choosing Differently for Two vs Four Guests
IS Bld 201 by b Hotel – Spacious Studio Apt for 4Ppl Close to Peace Park
How to stay here
- A 27㎡ studio apartment, with its size clearly positioned.
- Kitchen, refrigerator and microwave make simple meals easy.
- Enomachi works for plans on the north-west side of Peace Memorial Park.
How would I choose?
I would first look at this 27㎡ apartment as a compact shared-living space. It is worth comparing if you want to stay in Enomachi and cook simple meals yourself; for four guests, sorting out bed and luggage space in advance matters even more.
IS Bld 201 by b Hotel – Spacious Studio Apt for 4Ppl Close to Peace Park is at Enomachi 8-20. If you want to stay in an apartment on the north-west side of Peace Memorial Park with a kitchen to use on returning to the room, I would consider it; the listing says it sleeps four, but that does not mean four people each get a separate room, and the spare room for activities differs greatly between two and four guests.
Room type, space and choosing a room: studio living, no separate bedroom to expect
The apartment is 27㎡, mainly one studio living space with a kitchen. With four guests, luggage and everyday items take up more of the activity space; if companions need to close a door and rest separately, I would compare separate hotel rooms.

Enomachi 8-20: plan from the Tokaichimachi or Honkawacho direction
Naka-ku, Enomachi 8-20, 730-0851 Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan
For arrival, compare tram stops around Tokaichimachi and Honkawacho, and navigate using Enomachi 8-20 and room 201. In the daytime, arrange the Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Memorial Park first, and set aside full time for the museum; for shopping or okonomiyaki, head to Hondori and Shintenchi. That fits this location better than travelling to and from Hiroshima Station every day.

One night: key pickup; longer stays: cleaning and laundry
For just one night, mostly out during the day, a 27㎡ studio space is easier to accept; for several nights, keeping luggage stored matters more. My comparison angle is that two people value the self-catering flexibility of an apartment, while four people care more about whether the shared space can accommodate everyone’s schedules.

How I would choose in the end
If I travel as two and want to use a kitchen in Enomachi, 27㎡ can go on the shortlist. Four travelling together will feel the shared density of the open-plan space more keenly; for people who want sleep and living not to disturb each other, I would compare two hotel rooms.
Advantages and trade-offs to accept
Advantages I value
- A 27㎡ studio apartment, with its size clearly positioned.
- Kitchen, refrigerator and microwave make simple meals easy.
- Enomachi works for plans on the north-west side of Peace Memorial Park.
Think through before booking
- Activity and luggage space for four guests needs coordination.
- A studio layout does not suit people who place high value on sleep privacy.
