Our room was small and a little worn. For the same price of 10,000 yen for a double room, we stayed in a far nicer hotel in central Hiroshima the following night, with a lovely public bath for guests. The staff in the Intelligent Hotel Annex were very helpful, but considering that a basic business hotel such as Toyoko Inn can provide a cleaner and more comfortable room for 2000 yen less, I couldn't recommend this hotel. The coffee machine mentioned in a previous review is only available for use from 1pm, so unless you're a fan of a cup before bed in the evening, I can't see that it's of much use.

Completely agree with previous traveller. This is an aboslute gem to stay in and the staff are very friendly. Very nicely decorated rooms, very clean and extremely good value for the price. we stayed in many cities and places during our trip (about 16 cities) and this was one of the value for money places. This is a 4 star hotel at a 3 star price.

We stayed at Hiroshima Intelligent Hotel Annex on April 30th,2007. It's about a 7 minute walk from the shinkansen/Jr Hiroshima station, diagonally across from the Regalo. Although it labelled itself a business hotel, it was far nicer than the 4 other business hotels I've stayed at throughout Japan. For example, the entrance, lobby, and hallways were all sumptuously decorated. Also, the room was quite new and it had a gorgeous river view. Finally, the staff spoke English (thank goodness). However, unlike one of the other business hotels I've stayed at, there was no free breakfast. On the other hand, there was a free beverage machine and internet access in the lobby. For a very pleasant stay in Hiroshima, if your budget is midrange I highly recommend Hiroshima Intelligent Hotel Annex.
