HOTEL SUITE HIROSHIMA HAKUSHIMA — Hotel in Hiroshima

An excellent find and comfortable base in Hiroshima for two nights during a tour of Japan as a family of three (two adults and a seven year old, from the UK). After a stay in a very cramped Tokyo hotel room earlier in the holiday, we were very appreciative of the apart-hotel style of this accommodation. Enough room to relax at the end of the day and unpack a bit, hang clothes up , storage for shoes etc. We loved the novelty of the third bed on the mezzanine level, as well as having a balcony (we were on the 11th floor).

It’s only a short taxi ride from the main train station (1000 yen door to door). The welcome from the lovely man on reception was very warm and friendly, and he was so helpful and immediately made us feel at home.

The accommodation is clean and the shower was good; loads of bath towels. We appreciated the kitchen equipment, fridge/freezer and sink with washing up liquid so we could self cater for breakfast and snacks. There’s an ice machine downstairs, as well as basic toiletries supplies in case you have forgotten things.

You are close to both the end of a tram (streetcar) line, bus routes and also a train line that goes out to the ferry for Miyajima island, so transport connections to key sites was easy. The reception staff also kindly arranged a taxi for us to the station when we checked out as well.

Minor downside is that the apartment windows aren’t massively soundproofed so we experienced a bit more traffic noise at night here than in other hotels we’d stayed in during our trip to Japan - however, noise is intermittent rather than constant so it wasn't too much of an issue.

There’s a great okonomiyaki restaurant over the road too, as well as a kombini (Family Mart) over the road for basic supplies, breakfast stuff etc.

Would definitely recommend and I wish we could have stayed...

This was the last hotel we stayed in before returning home and it exceeded all expectations. We stayed in a suite on the top floor and it was huge, way bigger than any other we stayed in while travelling through Japan.

There was loads of practical storage space, the kitchen and dining / lounge room was massive and great for families. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom had dual vanities and a large shower and a deep semi-outdoor tub. This was perfect to relax after a long holiday.

The views from the balcony were beautiful we saw some really nice sunsets as well as enjoying watching the Shinkansen trains go past. The view from the balcony doors could be enjoyed from the whole suite. The styling and lighting of the suite were really nice, it almost felt like we were staying in a super fancy Ryokan with the low beds.

Hiroshima is a beautiful city to explore and the hotel is located in a great spot, only a short walk to the end of the street car line which take you into the city. It is also about a 10 minute walk to Shin-Hakushima station where you can go on day trip to Miyajima Island.

There is a vending machine in the lobby and a convenience store at the end of the street near the Hakushima street car stop. We wish we could have spent more time here but as it was the end of our trip we could only stay for 2 nights.

Would highly recommend this hotel to anybody looking to stay...
