We had booked accomodation at "Sleep Inn" and upon arriving at Hiroshima Station, were told that it was 30 minutes out of town (turns out my map reading left something to be desired). With only one night in Hiroshima and about 2 hours of light to go, we cancelled that reservation and the booked into Comfort Hotel Hiroshima Otemachi. It was a good decision.
The hotel is centrally located, about 5 minutes walk to the Peace Park and Museum. It's also about 10 minutes walk to the major bus station where we caught our bus to the airport the following day.
The rooms were very small - smallest of anywhere we stayed in Japan, but they were nice and new and we got a full-sized double bed with a lovely donna/duvet. The pillows are horrible (some sort of special "hard on one side, soft on the other" type of thing) and are the same in all Comfort Inn's in Japan.
The hotel had a free computer with printer and internet access in the lobby and free wireless access in the rooms. A breakfast buffet with both japanese and western foods was included.
There are two Comfort Inn's in Hiroshima. Both are on the same street and the other hotel is slightly closer to the Peace Park. Comfort Hotel Hiroshima Otemachi is much newer and, it seemed, a little nicer. Both have almost identical facilities.
