Hotel Dengan Spa di Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

It was one of the best hotels I ever slept in Japan. Usually, we try 3 to 5 star hotels in every local capital city. This one is of course famous Prince hotel but it is quite away from the city center yet situated in the most beautiful area of Hiroshima. From the hotel rooms we could see the skyline of the town and the sea. Breakfast is served on the top floor you can choose traditional Japanese (Nadaman/super famous Japanese restaurant) or western style buffet breakfast. With a little supplemental fee, I could go to Onsen (hotspring) and it was soo relaxing and the view was stunning. You even can sail to Miyajima island from this hotel port.

The hygiene was excellent, and the hotel facilities were complete and well-equipped. It's a shame the staff weren't smiling! The toiletries provided in the bathroom didn't live up to the Hilton brand standard. Also, the breakfast selection was a bit limited. Of all the hotels I stayed at during my trip to Japan, this one felt significantly lacking in the details compared to local Japanese brands.

Probably because of the small size of Kure Port, the hotel is not expensive, the rooms are larger than those of ordinary Japanese hotels, the service is good, and the restaurant is rich in the characteristics of Kure Port's warship culture. It is very close to the Maritime Self-Defense Force Historical Museum and the Yamato Ship Museum. The hotel front desk also provides a traditional Chinese version of the Kure City Guide, which is very convenient. In addition, there is an airport bus that goes directly to Hiroshima Airport at the hotel entrance, which is very convenient.

The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, greeting me upon arrival and seeing me off at check-out. The location is excellent, right next to the station with plenty of dining options nearby, and the hotel's own restaurant is superb. The bedding and pillows in the room were incredibly comfortable, truly impressive – I even considered buying some to take home! The environment was clean and hygienic, and the windows were so spotless they seemed to disappear, giving me a fantastic impression of Hiroshima overall. The only minor downsides were the hairdryer wasn't great, and the shampoo and shower gel weren't big brands, leaving my hair a bit stiff.

This property far exceeded my expections. I give much credit to the exceptional service provided by the Front desk team and housekeeping. They have been well trained and follow-up, as and when required. It is one of those few properties which I have experienced, as a global traveller, where it was difficult to leave. As foreign guests are also using the hotel, I would recommend basic English classes be provided to help in the delivery of the service. Thank you.

The hotel is a 2-minute walk from Hatchobori Station. It is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Hiroshima. It is a 3-minute walk to the shopping street and a 5-minute walk to Parco. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs on the top floor. The room is not big, but very practical. The air conditioning is very strong. The reception is on the 13th floor. There are daily necessities in the lobby. The hotel entrance is a little hidden. When you arrive, walk to the end and there is a hidden door. It will open automatically as long as you get close.

The location is great, but the price changes depending on the day, which is a bit of a hassle. It gets very expensive. The breakfast menu was unique and delicious.

2-night stay Location: Easy to find, a 5-minute walk straight from JR Miharashi Station, and a 5-minute walk to AEON. There are many restaurants, a large public bath, and one hour of free bicycle rental. Service: Attentive, prompt, and proactive; very polite; one complimentary beer per person per day. Room: Spacious, well-laid out, elegantly decorated, comfortable bedding, clean, strong shower water pressure, and ideal soundproofing. A combination lock is used to open the room door. A complimentary bottle of water is provided if cleaning is not required. Breakfast: Wide selection, both Japanese and Western, with fresh ingredients and quick replenishment. Unfortunately, the coffee machine was under repair during my stay.

The bathhouse is great, the open-air pool is large and very relaxing. The room is also large, good quality and affordable. Taking a taxi from Hiroshima Airport is about 2,000 yen, which is acceptable. Plus, a taxi is still much cheaper than accommodation near the airport.

The environment is good. Last night, the geographical function of staying in the oversized room (comfortable) was not very convenient.
