Where to stay in Hiroshima
Hiroshima hotels & accommodations
I made a reservation at a hotel I had always wanted to stay at, and this time it was reasonably priced, possibly because it was Sunday. The location is excellent. The access to both the Shinkansen and expressway is great, with a direct connection to the station. The atmosphere of the hotel and the staff's handling of luggage storage beforehand were also good. The room ...
I am satisfied with the size of the room and the cleanliness. I stayed in a single room, and the design having a separate bath and toilet made my stay comfortable. The staff's response was good, and I feel the charges for the services were reasonable. The location is also good, convenient for sightseeing and transportation. Overall, it is a hotel that offers a well-bal...
The bed is Hollywood style without needing to say. I also took the free shuttle bus to the Peace Memorial Museum and the Atomic Bomb Dome. At the hotel's G7 Summit table exhibition, I reflected on "this world." This time, I left the car and took the tram to Gokoku Shrine → Miyajimaguchi Ferry → Itsukushima Shrine. In the evening, I returned using the streetcar. I slid ...
Although it is a bit far from Hiroshima Station, if you walk a little, there is a tram station, and there is a bus stop right in front. It is also close to the downtown area, so you won't have trouble finding dinner at night. The room is clean, reasonably spacious for my personal preference, and quiet. The welcome drink is also appreciated. This time I had a plan witho...
I urgently booked a room to attend a wake and funeral! The front desk staff greeted me with a smile and provided a fun and enjoyable service. The upgraded room was very beautiful, and the cleaning was thorough. The bathroom was spacious and very comfortable. I could also enjoy the stunning nighttime view of Hiroshima, which healed my tired body and mind. Choosing Rihga...
Apart from the fact that the 3 PM check-in took time due to the many input fields on the tablet and that the public bath was crowded during the 10 PM hour because of the high number of guests, everything else was clean, the quality of the amenities was high, and the cost performance and location were excellent, making me very satisfied.
The satisfaction level with the service relative to the price was high, and the staff's response left a good impression. The facilities and guest rooms were kept clean, and the amenities and services were well-equipped. The sleeping environment was comfortable, and the room size was spacious, making the bathroom and hot water easy to use. While the location was conveni...
The location and the hospitality of the staff were excellent. The disappointing thing was that while the entrance smelled nice, the room had a musty odor... It was quite uncomfortable since I stayed for two nights. The breakfast was also very delicious.
I was not aware of the shuttle bus to Hiroshima Station, but the staff approached me and I was able to use it, which was a great help. I originally chose Dormy Inn because I wanted to use the night ramen and large public bath, and it lived up to my expectations. I was very pleased with the service of ice cream and probiotic drinks. The staff created a very cheerful and...
Overall, it was a very satisfying stay. First of all, the location is outstanding, within walking distance of the Peace Memorial Park and shopping districts, making it convenient for both sightseeing and business. The front desk staff were polite, and both check-in and check-out were smooth. The room, although compact, was clean, and the facilities were new, allowing...
The breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect! I was impressed that they provided pillows of different firmness as an amenity. You can leave your car until 12 o'clock, so you can have an early breakfast, go to Miyajima on an early flight, and if you return by 12, you can save on parking fees! The staff's explanations were easy to understand, and I highly r...
I found a hotel that happened to be on sale while I was searching, and it's within walking distance to the concert venue. I liked that check-in was available from 2:00 PM, so I made a reservation. The room was clean, the bathroom and toilet space were spacious, and even though I stayed alone, I was able to sleep comfortably in a double bed. I would like to use this hot...
I went on a trip with a friend. The room, the bed, everything is spacious! Comfortable! The breakfast is simply delicious. The bath is clean! I was surprised that the sound of the toilet flushing is quiet! It’s right outside the station, and they kept our luggage before check-in and after check-out! I want to stay again. The pool was just the two of us, and it was comf...
It was right in the middle of summer vacation, but surprisingly there were not many guests (mostly foreign visitors), and the atmosphere was quiet and calm. Thanks to that, we were able to relax with our family in the lounge and bar, and the large public bath was almost exclusive to us. The room was clean, with the toilet, bath, and washbasin each being separate and ea...
Literally about 10 minutes from the Hiroshima bus depot and minutes from tons of food options, this cannot be beat. Also, historically, just minutes from the atomic bomb dome and peace museum.
It was very good for being cheap, spacious, and clean! We used it with three people and there was plenty of space to open our suitcase, and there was a sofa by the window, so it was really spacious! I was also happy to receive free drinks! Since we were in a car, I don't know how close it is to the station, but there is no private parking, so we used a nearby coin pa...
The price is under 30,000 won per night, and the facilities are clean. They provide a thin blanket that can be placed on the mattress and under the comforter for extra comfort. The shower room is fine, and there’s also a washing machine and drying rack, so you can hang out your towels. There is a smoking room on each floor, which is nice. Check-in is until 9 PM, so be ...
We stayed for two nights with two people. The hotel type was left to their discretion, but they prepared a spacious room facing the sea for us. Although our check-in was quite late, around 9 PM, the woman at the reception kindly provided information about the hotel and Miyajima. On the first day, after sightseeing in Miyajima, we returned to our room, and they had clea...
I think the hotel has a great value for money. I would rate it as top class but the fire exit door was loose and everytime when someone open/closes their door it make noise and wakes you up in the middle of the night many times. But other than this everything was exceptional. Staff was great! Absolutely so helpful. Only thing I may mention as an improvement point: th...
The facilities are not particularly new, giving a slight sense of age. However, I got the impression that they are well cleaned. There is a sense of cleanliness. The large public bath was also neatly cleaned. It’s nice to have a bath where you can stretch your legs. The temperature was just right. The room I stayed in had a unit bath, so I could bathe even if I missed ...
Unbelievable place. So glad we went. Good excellent but quite traditional. Took my mom who doesn’t eat too well in terms of raw and different food and also sleeping was on futons on the floor. Surprisingly comfortable and for us but maybe not ideal if you’re over 60 she says. Despite this it was one of the most unique hotels I’ve stayed in. I’d come back 10/10 times an...
Hotel was around 5 minutes plus walk from the station, they provide free drinks in the lobby. Overall a great stay
It was a cozy room that made me want to stay long-term. It had a fully-equipped electric kitchen, microwave, and refrigerator, and the bath and toilet were separate, allowing for a relaxing bath time. It was conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from the Peace Memorial Park. Next time, I’d like to try the international-style restaurant on the second floor as well...
Very kind, very nice, very respectful
The location is very close to Peace Memorial Park, and with a tram station nearby, access is excellent. Guests can use Anytime Fitness for free, the meals are delicious, and I believe the services provided are sufficient for the price. The staff's response was also very polite, allowing us to have a pleasant stay.
It was a very affordable plan, but breakfast was included, and it was carefully prepared, which was very satisfying. Also, I appreciated that there was daily cleaning service. It was a bit disappointing that there was only one washing machine, but the other guests were quick to unload it, so I was able to do my laundry smoothly.
It is close to Hiroshima Station and located near the bustling area, making it highly recommended for food lovers or those who enjoy drinks. However, since it is a business hotel, the rooms are a bit small, which may be inconvenient for those with children.
There is no parking.

It was very clean and ensured privacy, making it comfortable. It is also close to the tram stop and within walking distance to the city center, so the access is good. The staff seemed to be foreigners and not very good at Japanese, but it gave me a feel like a short study abroad, which was nice. I would like to stay again.
It was close to the station, the staff were kind, and the facilities were clean. I used the female-only dormitory, and everyone had good manners, allowing for a quiet and comfortable stay. There were also two shower rooms, and with locks available, I felt secure. The price was inexpensive, and it was fantastic. I would like to use it again!
The bed is spacious and comfortable, and the shower room and toilet are also large and clean. The staff are friendly, and their explanations are thorough and very pleasant. Since bath towels and washcloths are available for a fee, I brought my own. As eating in the room is not allowed, I had breakfast at the table next to the reception, where I could relax surrounded b...
I visited Miyajima for sightseeing, and everything, including meals and ferries, was within walking distance, which was fantastic. It was possible to go to Miyajima first thing in the morning, and even on holidays, I was able to enjoy a comfortable sightseeing experience without crowds. The accommodation costs were also reasonable, which was great. The downsides were ...
I booked a twin room with "private room" written on the door. The staff was extremely friendly, and as soon as I entered, the interior had a warm atmosphere and was very clean, which was great! The twin room had a separate bathroom, so I didn't have to use the shared one, which was awesome! The bedding and the room were clean, and there was heating, so I slept very war...
I stayed in a single room upgrade and it was really nice. There was a desk by the bed and even a small space, and it was a great value for money. They changed the towels, slippers, and pajamas every day, and the owner was very kind. They even lent us an umbrella when it rained. There was a separate dining area in the accommodation, and the bathrooms and showers were re...
Would recommend this place without second thoughts for people visiting hiroshima. Though its not near to Hiroshima station/ city centre, this facility is Located at a nice peaceful seaside location , within a few minutes walk from Zigozen railway station . one of the best value for money dormitory / hotel i have been to 💯💯
Came to the animation festival with a friend and booked two separate room beds. The sheets are changed per guest (need to set up oneself), the air conditioning is very cool and comfortable, and the rooms are clean. The owner is very easygoing and communicates well; you can store your luggage, and during the day, the lobby on the first floor can be used for chatting and...
Me and my two friends stayed at Roku for three days. The small house is incredibly charming and in a very cute neighborhood that’s walkable from downtown Hiroshima. Staff was extremely friendly and facilities were amazing. Bathrooms had everything you need, including shaving cream, face wash, toothbrushes floss, toothpaste, and more there was also a great energy in the...
a. The sink is placed outside the toilet 😅 b. The price is reasonable I think. We got a higher price because we stayed there on holidays season.
A hotel that looks like an apartment building right in front of a major hotel. There are no showers or toilets in the individual rooms, and each floor has communal toilets with three shower rooms for each gender on the first floor. There is no large public bath, but it seems there is a reservation-only spa on the fifth floor. I was worried that not having a bath and to...

It was convenient and cost-effective, so I would like to use it again. I was grateful that the owner was very accommodating. The breakfast was homemade and delicious, with a comforting motherly flavor! And very reasonably priced. The building is old, but it has been renovated in some places. It uses a card key.
There is no parking.

研修会会場の近くで温泉のあるホテルを予約したのですが、温泉に入る前に飲み物や種なし梅の提供があり、良かったです。
Literally about 10 minutes from the Hiroshima bus depot and minutes from tons of food options, this cannot be beat. Also, historically, just minutes from the atomic bomb dome and peace museum.
It takes about 10 minutes to arrive by streetcar from Hiroshima Station. It is convenient because it is close to the nearest streetcar station. The hotel is clean, and since the amenities are in the guest room, I was able to spend my time without forgetting anything. It was really nice to be able to relax and relieve my travel fatigue in the large bathtub! The water t...
The price wasn't that high, and it was nice to have amenities and water provided. It was also close to the streetcar station and convenient for sightseeing in the bustling area. The bed was a sufficient size for two adults. I arrived before the check-in time and was waiting in the lobby when a staff member kindly informed me that I could check in early, which was very ...
This is my second time using the service. This time, I first stayed for one night due to a concert at the Hiroshima Aster Plaza next to the hotel. The following day, I stayed another night for sightseeing in the city. On the first day, only smoking rooms were available, so I made separate reservations for each night. However, when the hotel staff saw that I had reserve...
The room was the cleanest I have ever stayed in at a business hotel✨️ Moreover, the service was great and overall it was excellent👍 The breakfast was also incredibly delicious😋 Although it is not the season right now, I tried oysters and anago rice on Miyajima but they were not tasty anywhere. In that case, this breakfast had various options like fried oysters, anag...
Room mattress was very old and not cleaned. Also Room was very dark. Dust was there on each item. Better to find other hotel at same price. Hotel location was convenient but no use if you are not comfortable.
I used this hotel for a two-night stay while sightseeing in Hiroshima. I had prepared for the prices since I decided to go to Hiroshima at the last minute, but it was quite reasonable. It's just a 2 to 3-minute walk from the station. Although there are separate times for men and women, there is also a large public bath and hot springs where you can stretch out and reli...

A family of five stayed for one night in Room 501, a tatami room at Shrine View. The room was very spacious, making it recommended for families. You can enjoy a hot spring bath while looking at the sea and the torii gate from the open-air bath.

We wanted to experience Miyajima at night as well as a traditional Japanese hotel. Hotel Makoto gave us both! We enjoyed the many flavours of our evening and morning meals, and the waiters took the time to answer some of our questions. We then went for a walk in the peaceful Miyajima island after the tourist rush - really a unique experience! We finished our evening wi...

Real reviews for hotels
Due to it's historical background, this place is very peaceful and calm. Learnt about the distructable war and the importance of peace among humanity.
Tired out by the hotel staff 's way of checking in so did not bother to explore Hiroshima at all ! Hotel was old , dirty and and smelly with an expensive price paid for a standard twin NON SMOkING floor that turned out to be a dissappointment .
Two full days and we saw museums , and a lot of history. Beautiful shrine, beach. Lot to see and do. Lovely ferry ride.
Besides the atomic bomb remembrance sites, which one has to visit, the city more to offer. Also the area around is worth a visit.
will definitely go back, as it was so cold when i was there, so wish to go back when i can really internalize that I was in the place where history was made.
Open spacious city with interesting historical sights. Well planned so it is easy to get around with your JR pass on the loop buses provided
I liked Hiroshima. It is a city with rich history. Locals are very friendly. Don't miss Miyajima, which is 35min away by boat.
Hiroshima is a beautiful area in Japan, and is definitely worth a visit if you are heading to Japan. I would reccomend stay in Hiroshima for at least 4 or 5 days, but you could certainly spend a few more days there taking in the sights.
Hiroshima has terrible history but now it is the best relaxible place in japan. day trip to miyajima at evening is strongly recommanded.
1-3 days good enough for this clean, efficient and friendly city. I used it as a base for Miyajima and Okayama and Himeji.
There is not much to do in this city but the area dedicated to the atomic blast and disarm of all nuclear warfare is an eye opener.
The UNESCO world heritage site, Hiroshima Bomb Dome is a must visit place. The autumn season give a very beautiful scenery to this area.
very clean and friendly, easy to get around with their public transport system, the Peace Park is very impressive and moving
The Nuclear Bomb History in Hiroshima is a must go sightseeing point. This history made this city more specific to visit.
This was my second time to Hiroshima and I really enjoyed it again. My first time was spent exploring the area, the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, and also going over to Miyajima.
Hiroshima is home to, and close to, some of the most important locations in Japan. If you're visiting Hiroshima proper, I would definitely recommend stopping by for the Peace Park and Museum, visiting the Genbaku Dome, and going out a few nights for shopping downtown / eating some of the local Hiroshima-Yaki (there is a giant complex with many different restaurants / styles to choose from).
Hiroshima is a very easy city to get around, we hired bicycles and visited most attractions in the city including Hiroshima castle.
This is a comparably more relaxing city than other big city like Tokyo or Osaka. Its worth visiting the city with a short half day trip to Miyajima Island.
This is a pleasant city with an atmosphere of a small city in the central area. Once we saw the Peace Park and the Peace Memorial we also went to the Hiroshima Castle which is very interesting.
Beautiful city with the friendliest most helpful people I have encountered. Enjoyed my day at Miyajima Island - this place is a must.
In addition to the Hiroshima Castle and Atomic Bomb site, one should also try to visit the Iwajima shrine and nearby attractions.
It is a great city to visit especially Friday and Saturday evenings when the locals dress in their national costumes and head into the city where the roads are closed and every-body laughs, talks and plays
A very fun city, with much to see and do. For food, go to the Okonomi-mura (near the Parco) where there are many okonomiyaki restaurants.
Hiroshima, being the only city that experienced the nuclear bomb, is the symbol of peace. Aspiration of man for peace can very well be felt in Hiroshima.
This is a city that continues to live and grow under the shadow of atomic war. We recommend that every traveler to Japan come here to learn and appreciate the relative peace we have and why each of us has a role to play in moving to realize that we are one people.
Hiroshima is a quite relaxed city compared to other urban areas in Japan. It is easy to go around with the tramway and even with the train you can reach Miyajima very fast as an outside attraction.
What is a MUST to visit during your stay at Hiroshima are Miyajima (The sight is ranked as one of Japan's top 5 best views) and Peace Memorial Museum.
What a great, peaceful city. The streetcar system is easy to understand and navigate even if you don't speak or read japanese.
It's easy to get around with the street car.the Memorial Park was amazing.Lot's of information in the Memorial Park Musuem.
Hiroshima is a great as a short stop on a larger trip through the country, but there isn't much in the way to see other than it's big sights and food.
