The Sunroute is much more than just a business hotel - the 2005 review is out of date. There is now free broadband access in each room. Rooms are spacious and have luxurious bathrooms, complete with full Toto washlets. The top floor dining area offers fabulous views and good breakfasts, whether you like to eat western or Japanese-style.
The odd mark on the carpet is unavoidable in a busy hotel, and that aside, the rooms are made spotless every day.
As with all hotels, do ask for a room with a view.

Stayed 2 nights - 2 adults & 1 child.

Hotel is spotless, we had a large room on a corner overlooking the Peace Park , Museum & A-Bomb dome. There were a few small stains on the bedspreads and a minor hole in a pillow case (nothing that worries me but I know some people like to make a big deal out of minor things). Just a 10-15 minute tram ride from the JR station then a 2-4 minute walk.

Has a Japanese and an Italian restaurant. We tried the Italian and it was excellent, we tried going back the second night but it was full.

Had a hard time trying to locate this hotel in the cold and snowy December night. The Hiroden (eletric tram) stopped some distance from the hotel. Just next to the Peace Memorial Park, convenient if you are visiting that. Hotel staff are just the normal Japanese average. Room is slightly bigger than normal. Free internet works well. Average pricing. Not much of activity around the hotel venue.

I have stayed in many hotels in Japan and this hotel is typical of Japanese business hotel. The rooms is not very big and the bed is not very firm. The TV is very small (less than 20") and no broadband internet connection. The bathroom is small. The rooms are clean and is fine if you are staying 1 or 2 nights. This is not what I would consider a international class hotel. The positives are that the staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is situated in the center of the city near the Peace Memorial Park. Walking distance to major shopping and resturant area.
