“Good value for money, well-maintained”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

This hotel is very near the station, and well-run.  The rooms are small but cosy and very clean, and they have everything you need (including a kettle and some ugly - but comfortable - green pyjamas). Breakfast was served from an early hour and there was lots of it. Good value for money. Would recommend.

“Good hotel, small rooms”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011

Around 5 mins walk from train station. Good modern hotel, friendly staff. The room was tiny with nowhere even to put down two backpacks. The bathroom was the nicest one we had in any of the Japanese hotels we visited. The free breakfast and all-day coffee and soft drinks is a very nice touch.

“Compact but functional rooms. Great value for money.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

This hotel is very close to the station, a short 3 minute walk from the North (Shinkansen) exit. The check in staff were friendly enough and had prepared maps recommending nearby car parks for our vehicle. (If you book ahead, you can park at the hotel for 1,000 yen a night. We paid 1,500 to park the night at the Sheraton, right next to the station).

We had rooms on either side of the elevators (see photo) so they were a unique shape. The room itself is smaller than an average business hotel room, but it is designed to feel bigger than it is. Beds, shower and toilet are at an angle, and big windows and a variety of lighting helps create the illusion of space.

The bed is a comfortable double, with extra blankets above the safe behind door. There is a dimmer on the overhead light.

There is no bathtub but the shower more than makes up for it. You can have a full spray from the top, from the sides or from the handle spray. The shampoo, conditioner and body soap are of excellent quality (produced by Pola).

The toilet has lots of buttons to work the bidet (almost standard these days in Japanese hotel toilets). Wash sink is located outside the tiled area, in the desk where the TV sits. Kind of weird to have it over the carpeted area, but probably unavoidable with such a small room.

Breakfast was satisfying but not extensive: Four kinds of bread, pasta salad, seaweed salad, meatballs, rice balls, miso soup, and vegetable salad. Drinks such as tea, coffee and softdrinks are available for free around the clock. This was a plus as the weather was so hot, you just wanted to drink all the time.

There's a LAN connection in every room, and if you didn't bring your own computer, you can hire one from the front desk for 1,000 yen (claims to wipe all personal data when you turn it off). You can also hire electric bikes at a very reasonable 500 yen for 4 hours/1,000 yen for 8 hours.

The only negative aspect of this hotel is that the rooms open up into an outdoor hallway. So you get a lot of street noise and mugginess immediately outside your door.

Take the lift to the highest floor for an interesting street view.

Enjoyed this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

“Clean, convenient, close to station”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Hotel was located reasonably close to the station - which is a requirement as all the sights in Hiroshima are not near the hotel!

The hotel was pretty modern and the staff were friendly. The room was clean and had all the basic facilities that you were after. No smaller than anywhere else in Japan. A big plus was the free laundry located off the foyer on the ground floor.

Basic drinks available for free all day in the lobby area. We had breakfast included which was nice, plus also got the meal vouchers and had a very very filling okonomiyaki from the place around the corner that the front desk staff recommended. While the restaurant owner didn't speak much English, his son did and was happy to have the chance to practice.

We were given a gift on arrival which included some sheets of origami paper and instructions on how to fold cranes. Definately take the time to do this and contribute your cranes to their collection that they will take to the peace memorial.

“Nice small hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

Nice small hotel. Close to JR train station, about 5 minutes walk. We arrived very early, before 2pm, they were not able to check us in early, but they let us stay in the breakfast area where they server drinks all day. Since it was a really hot day, it was very nice to stayed in a air conditioned place with nice cold drink. The hotel room was very small, but everything was very neat and compact. You name it, they have it. Nice decor. There is a supermarket across the street, very convenient if you want to buy milk, bread or fruit. There is also laundry facility which is a big plus especially for people travelling for more than a couple of days.
