Loved the rooms! Really hard to find such a big spacious room in the area. Booked the suite 30.
Was really surprised by how firm the beds were... super firm, not for my liking. The bathroom was very clean. Loved the options for shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. Hand soap was also very nice. Really liked how you can help yourself to. Loved how there's a hamper outside your room to exchange dirty towels for clean ones yourself. I also enjoyed the layout of the building, pretty cool. Beautiful tree right in the middle of the hotel. Will definitely come back!

The property was out of the way enough from heavy tourist traffic, but close enough to plenty of dinning options, markets, and subway stations.

We got a double room for an excellent price through Expedia. For the price, thought the hotel was probably going to be okay, but not great. Turns out it was really with a rooftop bar and a nice restaurant on the first floor. We were given some gold coins at check-in that we later cashed in for free drinks. Overall, a surprisingly nice hotel at a great price that was central and easily walkable to most everything we wanted to see and do in Hiroshima.
