This hotel is in a brilliant location to everything you want to see in Hiroshima! Just a short walk from Chudenmae Station and ideally located to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and A-Bomb Dome. I highly recommend anyone travelling to Hiroshima to stay in this hotel, great prices, friendly staff and perfect location. I would ask when booking to a view over the river as our room was facing the opposite direction and had no view at all which was a real shame! .. If you are walking from Chuden Mae Station on your way you will see a small soup kitchen its got brown wood with white flags, EAT THERE! Try the Hiroshima Special Soup or the Chop Suey on rice you will be amazed!

Glad that they accommodated my request to switch the rooms. I booked non-smoking rooms, but both rooms smelled like cigarette smoke. I think they need to crack down on smokers in non-smoking floors.

Conveniently close to the Peace Memorial. Just a 5 minute walk to the entrance.

Had problems communicating with some of the front desk staff who didn't speak English. But it's ok - it's their country. Visited the Mazda plant (10am for English tours every day). You actually see the assembly line of the cars being built.

This hotel is close to shopping areas.

So, we asked for a non-smoking room. The first thing we noticed upon walking into the room was the stale stench of cigarettes. We opened the window (with great difficulty), but outside our window was an air-con outlet (a loud fan-type thing, we think it was air con related) so we couldn't sleep with it open since it was too loud. I confirmed with reception that the room was indeed, non-smoking (the entire floor was) but I was told that 'due to the air ventilation system in the whole hotel, rooms inevitably smell of cigarettes'. The reception staff did put a ventilator machine in our room for fifteen minutes which helped a bit, but the smell promptly returned the following morning.

The bathroom was dated and didn't have handwash?!

Other than that, everything was clean and functional. The staff were pleasant. The Peace Park was within a couple of minutes from the hotel and very convenient.

the hotel itself is maybe a little outdated, and could do with some modernisation, however its location more than made up for it. It is a 3 minute walk to the peace park and all the sights, including the fascinating museum.

Staff are friendly and courteous, although it required a little invention due to the lack of english spoken.

The rooms are spacious and we had a fantastic view over the peace park and a bomb dome.

excellent value for money.
