Sotetsu Fresa Inn Hiroshima
10/10 Excellent
"Very good hotel in a great location, close to Hiroshima Station. We stayed only one night, but everything was excellent – clean, quiet, and peaceful. Shops were nearby, which was very convenient. Check-in and check-out were very easy and without any problems. Perfect place for a short stay."
"During our 20-day journey, the most memorable meal was at UmiShima Dining, the onsite restaurant. Although it operates as a café and buffet-style venue, the à la carte dinner options were exceptional. The Wagyu steak was hands-down the best I’ve ever tasted, and the cod appetizer was bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive—attentive, warm, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend dining here.
The hotel itself is lovely and ideally situated for exploring Hiroshima’s key attractions and makes for a perfect base for a day trip to Miyajima Island.

"Excellent staff. I forgot my room card in the room. Got back in no problem. Breakfast has a nice spread to choose from. All you need is a few mins walk. "
"Staff was incredible. They accommodated my mom's gluten free needs even though we did not provide that info before we arrived. They worked very hard to modify each dish and was about to give my mom the experience of wonderful traditional Japanese food without the gluten. They were so friendly and helpful. This is a nice smaller town with lovely canals and I would stay at this hotel again. "
"Wonderful people at hotel, super convenient 10 min walk to JR lines and Shinkansen . Concierge can arrange excursions in and around Hiroshima.
5-Star across all dimensions."
