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.
