Hotel Dengan spa di Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

I picked the hotel for the location, this year my remit for hotels was to be as close to the beach as possible. The entrance is pretty spectacular, a shop and a cafe on the ground floor. There is a gym and an onsen (I couldn't go in as I am covered in tattoos - this is a normal rule in the onsen's. If you have tattoos and are not aware of this you should be travelling around Japan) There are multiple restaurant's on different floors. Hands down the best was the sky lounge on the 23rd floor amazing views and a selection of food either buffet style or an a la carte menu. I need to come back to sample the other restaurants, staff were very helpful and the hotel was spotlessly clean. Amazing location not too far from the city and the peace museum, there is a taxi rank outside the hotel my trip this morning to the station was so easy, taxi door to door. If you go I urge you to walk around the island as well wonderful views with little sandy areas to sit and relax.

The location is incredibly convenient. The airport shuttle is right downstairs, and you can directly access the JR and Shinkansen stations from the second floor. Shopping and getting around are super easy. The hotel service is excellent. They have a happy hour every night from 5-7 PM with half-price drinks, and you can even order sushi and tempura at reasonable prices. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

The hotel's location is decent, making it easy to catch a taxi, and the 50 bus stops right outside. The facilities are comprehensive, the rooms are clean, and the soundproofing is good. The pool staff are warm and friendly, and the water quality is excellent! The front desk service was adequate, but as usual, they were quite serious with non-members. Breakfast was quite crowded, and the food quality was average.

No problems with access, value for money, cleanliness, etc. There were only two guests including myself, but I wish they would stop putting us in the next room. I wish they would leave at least one room between us. I have to be careful about noise.

Facilities: The room was on the smaller side for two people to move around freely, but having a microwave was a great bonus. Cleanliness: Standard for a business hotel, with refreshed linens. Environment: Decent, and the location was superb. Service: The hot spring on the 10th floor was a pleasant experience, also featuring an outdoor pool and a sauna.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the onsen bath, recliner lounge, ocean terrace and beautiful view from our room (Note: trip.com booking of lowest priced room with sea view is not correct as the room is located at the lowest level and you only see trees before the ocean. We need to pay extra to upgrade the room to a better view). There's a private onsen bath tub in the room too. They also provide free coffee, popsicle sticks and yukata at the lobby. Dinner and breakfast has a reasonable spread but most food (especially the fried ones) are pre-cooked and cold. So they don't taste as good. The location is high up the hills. It's not possible to get a bus and then climb up with heavy luggages. The best way is to take a taxi, so be prepared to pay the price.

This is a very modern hotel. The entrance was a bit hidden, haha. It's close to all the main attractions, within walking distance or a short tram ride. Shukkei-en Garden is just over ten minutes away, Hiroshima Castle fifteen minutes. The Atomic Bomb Dome is also about sixteen to seventeen minutes away. Right outside is the Fukuya department store shopping street, and it's less than a ten-minute taxi ride back from Hiroshima Station. Breakfast was a bit limited, but the restaurant with a view was great. The public bath was very comfortable. The washing machines are right next to the public bath. The room was a bit small, but that's pretty standard for Japan. Overall, it's quite good!

Hiroshima was a pleasant surprise! The city is quite large and beautiful. The hotel offers a shuttle van in the mornings that can take you to the JR station; just book it in advance at the front desk. The top floor has an onsen (hot spring bath), and after your soak, there's free ice cream. From 5 AM to 10 AM, they offer complimentary Yakult, and from 9:30 PM to 11 PM, there's free ramen and drinks. Don't miss out on these perks if you're staying here!

Every night we were told that our kiseki dinner ”has been upgraded” due to us changing to a smaller sea view room than the only mountain view room was available through trip.com. But every night at dinner, every guest were being served the same dishes. Makes us wonder what ”upgraded” really means. We stayed for 3 nights, breakfast variety gets boring after the second morning. This being a resort, closing breakfast service at 0915 is not helping us relax...

There is no airport bus, but you can book a taxi at the front desk. It costs 1,000 yuan per person to share a taxi with other guests, which is very cost-effective, but the time is fixed and you cannot choose it yourself. It is a bit expensive to arrange a car alone at 2,000 yuan.
