Hotel berhampiran AOYAMA TAILOR, Hiroshima

The room was larger, nicer, and cheaper than the 4 star places I stayed at in Kyoto and Tokyo. The view from the room I had was great - high up and facing peace memorial park. The park itself was only a few minutes walk away, and the hotel was nearby many shops and transport. Really great budget choice.

We stayed in Hotel Vista for 2 nights, it was around a 7-10 minute tram ride on the 1,2 or 6 tram and a 5 minute walk to get there from Hiroshima station. It is situated a couple of minutes away from the main shopping area and a 15 minute walk from the Atomic Dome. The room was well sized, clean and comfortable, the staff were also friendly. This is the perfect place to base yourself in Hiroshima.

The location is excellent very near to peace center. I had to change my dates for some personal reason, but the hotel management denied. Usually I found hotels allow change in reservation date. But with this hotel it is very strange. I am not satisfied with this service. Otherwise breakfast and other services are so so compared a nearby hotels.

I get what I paid for, just a comfortable night stay with easy access by street car from Hiroshima Station, and the rest of the places of interest are located in the vicinity if we don't mind walking - Peace Memorial Park & Museum, shopping district etc. with Hiroshima Station 2 stops away by street car that stops just across the roam from the hotel I would say this hotel location is superb as what I wanted to do and see are all located in the vicinity with easy access either by street cars or walking to explore in which what I did. However, the bathroom might be tight for some.

호텔은 히로시마역을 나와 지하도를 이용해 8번출구를 이용하면 에스컬레이터와 엘리베이터를 이용할수 있으며 1층엔 마츠야가 있고 3분거리 이내에 편의점이 많음 한국어 약간 가능한 직원도 있으며 직원들은 친절함 객실내 생수 없으며 어메니티도 방에 있음

Room was small but enough for a solo traveller like me. To my surprise, there was even a microwave in the room. Everything was neat and tidy, and the staff at the front desk was nice and helpful. On the top floor, there was a public hot spring bath, but I did not use it. Outside the hot spring bath, there were drinking water fountains and vending machines, one of which dedicated to selling milk and dairy products. You could enjoy the Japanese culture of drinking milk - correct me if I am wrong (at least this was what I learnt from Japanese animes and dramas) - after taking the hot spring. Overall the experience was great.

Excellent location a few minutes walk from Hiroshima railway station. We had a connecting room which has an interior door between the adjacent double room and twin room, allowing you to move between them. The hotel rooms are compact, but functional and comfortable. Especially the double room, the kids had more room in their twin room. It can accommodate up to four people, making it ideal for families or friends.

The subway to hotel is convenient but no lift is a drawback. The hotel room is small but clean. The self laundry service is also user friendly (washing powder or detergent comes with the services). It’s a good option for short stay.

The Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel delivers from beginning to end regarding service and location. I had the chance to stay one night in early June before heading next morning to Okunoshima, and it was highly worth it. Next to Hiroshima Station, this location is a must. In addition, the quality of service provided by each member, either at the front desk or Club Lounge, was excellent. Daisuke in the Club Lounge was helpful and went above and beyond to assist during my stay. Regarding the room, I highly recommend booking a Club Level room or suite. The panoramic views of Hiroshima are amazing, but the room is exceptionally comfortable. I had the chance to stay in a suite, approximately 750 sq. ft., which was quite comfortable, especially the bed. The bathroom was spacious, and the bathtub was worth it after a long day or walk in the city. I also recommend the spa facilities in the hotel. If you pay around 1,650 Yen, you can use the pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, and cold bath. This is a great activity to relax and disconnect from reality fully. I enjoyed my time there and would return if I had the chance. Overall, it was a great stay, and thankful for the generosity and excellent customer service provided by the team in this hotel.

Good points: 1. Location is amazing since it’s right on the island and everything is within walking distance. 2. We had breakfast and supper included in the stay. Food was varied and plentiful for most palates. Plenty of fruit and veg too. 3. Staff for 98% of the time was great. Language barriers are expected. Google translate is a perfect alternative to the translation issue. The front desk staff were awesome and was extremely helpful. 4. Room is spacious for a traditional Japanese hotel. We had our own onsen which was delightful. The beds were mostly comfortable and we had two full mattresses pushed together creating a massive king! 5. Once you enter the hotel you must take off your shoes and the hotel provides house slippers which generally fit most people. The lobby has shoe cubbies for your shoes. They do not lock, but Japan has very little petty theft so you don’t need to fret over potential thievery. Negative points: 1. This is of no fault of the hotel, rather it’s a Google maps problem. Be aware Google maps will basically have you climb the mountain and drag your suitcase through a dirt path. Instead put in the Miyajima post office and with the water to your right, turn up to the small road with the post office to your back. Keep going straight for about 2.5 city blocks and you’ll walk right into the hotel. Much easier than the 40 minute hike we took. 2. Restaurant staff on the whole were great. Only issue was this morning when we went to breakfast this morning and tried to sit in our usual table, the staff tried to sit us with some other people. I asked if we could sit at a different table and the individual said no and walked away. We didn’t know these people they tried to sit us with. However, they were tourists like us. I was frustrated because the staff member just walked away from us when I was still speaking to him. Very rude! 3. The toilet room smelled really bad. It was a combination of mold and chemicals.
