Stayed for 2 nights at Granvia Hiroshima. It is indeed very well located attached to the Hiroshima main JR Station. The hotel first looks very nice, large lobby, etc Check-in was prompt and efficient. Room on 8th floor was tiny for a twin room, smelly from humidity and smoke (even though this was a non-smoking floor). Bath towels tiny. The... more

If you've just got off the Shinkansen after a long journey this hotel is ideal having its own entrance from the station. They also do a slightly discounted rate if you have a JR rail pass. I chose a "renovated room" which were apparently done up this year. It was certainly tasteful although the bed took up most of the... more

Great size rooms and right at Shinkansen train station. Just through the tunnel to the streetcars. Great facilities and reasonable priced breakfast. We were unable to get internet connection to outside of Japan. Charges to use internet were high more

Stayed there for only 1 night, had to catch the Shinkansen early in the morning. The Hotel next to JR Hiroshima, 1 minute from the Shinkansen gate. Can't be beaten. The Hotel itself was nice, the average Japanese room, but we had a great view on a pretty high floor. We could see the Hiroshima ballpark from our window. Newspaper... more

...as it is located next to the station, but is very quiet but one can get lost to find it! The rooms were an adequate size for Japan and a city break. You can walk in under 10minutes to get to street car into town to the main sights and shopping districts. Reception were very efficient. Breakfast is both English... more

This Granvia hotel is not as nice or spacious/modern as the Granvia in Kyoto, but it is pretty good. The room is small, and the bathroom is quite basic, unlike the ultra-sleek Kyoto branch. But the room is clean, and the bed comfortable. The room has a view of the platform and the city. It is most conveniently located, and... more

We took the train from Kyoto, walked out of the station and there was our hotel. Pefect location. We went in, dropped off our bags and since it was too early to check in we walked to the Hiroshima Castle, then on our way back, stopped in a department store to get something to eat. The large department stores are... more

The hotel has its own entrance from the Shinkansen platform. Huge lobby, piano bar area. Very friendly and helpful staff lots of maps and directions to different areas, really switched on. The room was large with a great view over the city, and the most amazing shower!!! About a ten min walk into town, and the tram goes from the... more

Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in Jan 09 with my wife. The hotel is attached to Hiroshima JR station, so is very handy to rail. The station is quite busy and has many eateries and food outlets. The hotel itself also has several restaurants (although we didn't eat there). We arrived at Hiroshima on the JR from Osaka.... more
