"For those planning to make day trips, the location is absolutely fantastic, right next to the Shinkansen station. We only spent one night, but we had a wonderful stay, very convenient. We had left some important documents in our previous hotel in Kyoto, and the staff at this hotel were fantastic, arranged for the documents to be shipped overnight, very courteous, very helpful."

"The hotel is very mid. In our 2 weeks trip in Japan it was actually the worst. Here is why:
- It is located right next to the train station which can be convenient if you are travelling. This is why we booked it. However the area around the station does not have much to do. You can walk ~40min to the center or take a bus - we ended up doing this every day so in the end it would have been the same to just stay in the city center.
- We did not book breakfast as from reviews it seemed very basic (menu with a few set options). We stayed in other, same tier hotels, in Japan with great breakfast so not having it was unfortunate. (We knew this in advance - I am just flagging).
- The basic room is quite small - the smallest we stayed in. The room had marks on the wall and the cleaning was not perfect with some hairs here and there. Not big issues but again not what we were used to in other Japanese hotels.
- The price was high for the quality offered.
In sum the hotel felt very work travel oriented. If you’re looking for a convenient stay next to the station, mainly to sleep 1 or 2 nights, it perfectly fits the purpose.
If you’re a tourist looking for a nicer experience I do not recommend booking it. You can find cheaper, more central, alternatives. Now having been in Hiroshima I also do not think it’s an issue to stay in a less convenient location travel wise - let’s stay 20min walk from the station; Hiroshima is a slower pace city and there’s time for everything."
