Easy access to different locations. There’s a street cart stop basically in front. You also have a 7-11 and a Lawson next door. Bathroom had to step up for in the room I stayed and the tub side felt a little to high to easily get out. Had to be cautious about that. Overall, amazing hotel.

I wasn’t sure about booking this hotel. But it was FANTASTIC! Huge king size bed. But it took up most of the room. Slept great. Rooms were well insulated and couldn’t hear any hall noise or neighbors. Recommend to bring small luggage (or you can store your large bag downstairs). We had backpacks (left our big bags in Tokyo) so we were perfect. Nice happy hour. Extraordinary breakfast bar with MANY selections! Fantastic small restaurant down back door alley for traditional Hiroshima cabbage pancake. Close to Peace Park. I would definitely stay here again.

I do not write negative reviews lightly, but this stay was unacceptable—particularly in terms of cleanliness, safety, and staff attitude.
The bathroom had an overwhelming, persistent mold smell from the moment I arrived, raising serious concerns about hygiene and air quality. The toilet also emitted a foul odor, making the space difficult to use.
The bathroom appears to be a prefabricated unit awkwardly inserted into the room, with a dangerously raised threshold. The door sits about a foot above floor level. When I exited the bathroom, I didn’t anticipate the extent of the drop, my knee buckled, and I dropped and fell hard on my knees and hip. This is a clear safety hazard, especially for those with mobility concerns.

Staff were inflexible and brusque throughout. After I accidentally lost my key card (it fell between a train and platform on an outing), I was charged 3000 yen (~$30 CAD) with no understanding or flexibility—an excessive penalty for a piece of plastic.

Hiroshima is a remarkable place. It’s deeply disappointing this hotel detracted from the experience through poor maintenance, unsafe design, and unsympathetic service.

I strongly recommend staying elsewhere.

Great large room (for Japan) and a huge bed. The people who cleaned every day did a great job I always felt like I came back to a spotless room every single day. As far as the stay everything was great. The area is perfect very short walk to the park, honoring street, the dome, and right in front of a street car station. If all you want is a clean convenient place for a good price this is it.

Now for my complaints in case any of this is important to you.

Breakfast I only tried once. It was ok, pretty standard hotel breakfast I think. The coffee was from a machine and honestly very bad. Variety was fine, it was all fine but too expensive for what it was. Not an issue for most people though as there's conviene stores right outside and short walk to tons of restaurants.

View was nonexistent. Big huge window that showed me the blank wall of the building next to us.

The bath was tiny but busy. It's not bad per say but it definitely is not great. Do not come here for the laundry or bath because they can get so busy they're basically unusable.

Come here for the convinience, big rooms, and cheap price.

Avoid if you want a great breakfast or bath.

The hotel felt a bit old, there were lots of scuffs and marks around the room. The room was small, and the awkward position of the bathroom made it difficult to use what space there was. Breakfast was good with a lot of variety, but the coffee was only ok. There were free drinks in the evening, but you weren't allowed to sit downstairs to drink them, instead having to take them back to the room. The price was very reasonable so the hotel was excellent value for a short trip, but I wouldn't stay here for more than a couple of nights.

This is a decent hotel, on a tram line, conveniently located to many of the sites of Hiroshima. Staff were friendly and helpful and will help with receiving your luggage if you decide to forward it to the hotel. Rooms are clean but very small, by far the smallest room we encountered in Japan. The beds were hard as rocks, very low to the ground, and the mattresses slid around on their bases. There is a step up into the unit bathroom that made going to the bathroom at night treacherous, and the slight step up to get out of the bathroom made getting out even more annoying. Breakfast is a decent mix of Japanese and Western options, and varies a bit from one day to the next.

I spent only two nights in Hiroshima and I wish I could stay longer, it’s a wonderful city and a real highlight of my tour across Japan. The hotel is located in the perfect spot to explore the city, take a boat to Miyajima, the castle and the peace memorial park and museum. The hotel was great, the room was bigger than most others I’ve staying in so far. The bed was a little too stiff, but that wasn’t a big problem. The only real complaint is that they have music playing in the hallway, and I’d rather they didn’t, as it starts very early in the morning and plays late into the night (it may be 24 hours, I dunno) and it made it a little hard to fall asleep. It’s not loud, but it’s loud enough to always hear a little.

Only thing I didn't like was the bathroom had a huge step, almost a foot off the ground. Definitely could be dangerous in the middle of the night. Breakfast had a LOT of good options I couldn't even try everything. They even had unagi rice. Coffee machine was unfortunately broken but they fixed it by the time breakfast was finished. They also had free pour drinks during happy hour but you're limited to just one.

Walking distance to the Hiroshima peace park and the bus/tram stations are also right outside.

The staff were also kind enough to let us leave our bags there a few days ahead of check in while we did a separate leg of our trip which was really nice!

Everything is really good about this hotel = location, cleanliness, safe and quiet, room has everything you need including hairdryer, mini fridge, kettle.. but the TV cannot play USB even though theres a USB port and the common area is very small. The chairs are packed away so you cannot sit in the area at all, if you grab a drink from happy hour 6pm to 8pm, you need to go to your room to enjoy. Other hotels with happy hour, allow you to sit in the dining area to enjoy your drink and eat your dinner or snacks. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant stay but I would choose a different hotel if I come back to Hiroshima.

Had a great stay at this hotel. The facilities are clean and staff welcoming.
The rooms are standard with a bed, TV, table and bathroom. The bathrooms have quite a high step to get into but we had no trouble with this.
The onsen on the second floor was a nice to have, it is small but quiet and tattoo friendly.
The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of options though there can be queues for entry around 8am so give yourself plenty of time or head down early.
The “happy hour” was a nice touch, guests can help themselves to a free drink between 6-8pm and had a wide selection. Unfortunately a large tour group ignored the 1 drink rule and depleted the selection one of the nights.

The hotel is within a short walking distance of the peace memorial park, museum and dome. There is a tram station straight outside the front doors for easy transit around the city.
