Hotels With Bar in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan

Good hotel in an outstanding location for Hiroshima’s most important tourist sites: the Memorial Peace Park, Museum, and the iconic Iron Dome. The Knot is a 10-minute walk from these sites. Less desirable is the lack of viable restaurants-especially breakfast- besides the hotel’s restaurant- in the immediate area; while the hotel restaurant is fine, it’s pricey and gets redundant after a few meals. Access to the Hiroshima train station is a mere 15-minute walk to the #2 & #6 trolley line. Don’t be weirded out when you can’t find the reception desk to check in; it’s on the 14th floor for inexplicable reasons. There’s a bar with snacks there, too. Checkout is a breeze. Just toss your key into a bin slot on the elevator on your way out. Overall, a solid hotel choice.

Perfect for travelers willing to explore onomichi or to start the biking of the Shimanami. It is located right by side of the ferry to start the biking itinerary. The hotel is offering comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a convenient location. There are a on-site amenities, including meeting rooms, biking racks and a restaurant. They offered us room upgrade to a larger room for free. Highly recommended!

The hotel is huge and in a great location, very convenient for getting around, and close to the airport bus stop. The room view was decent. The nearby mall wasn't very exciting though, a bit boring. It's also close to the Atomic Bomb Dome. However, the room facilities are really, really, really outdated. The decor is old-fashioned and not suitable for young people. I wouldn't recommend it.

This was my third stay at this hotel, and just like the previous two times, I was very satisfied. The hotel is within walking distance of Shukkei-en Garden, and not far from Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Hiroshima Castle. You can take a bus or walk, and a taxi isn't expensive either. The bus to Hiroshima Airport is right downstairs, which is incredibly convenient.

I'm a local, but I used this hotel for various reasons. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and the cleaning lady who I happened to have a chance to talk to was also very nice.

It's new and clean, with cooking facilities, which is convenient. It's well-equipped and quiet at night. It's a 15-minute walk from the Onomichi JR line, and easy to find using Google Maps. It was my first time experiencing a youth hostel in Japan, and it was pretty good.

This is the second closest hotel to the station, with Daiwa being the first. The downside of being so close is the noise from passing trains. The overall soundproofing of the hotel isn't great either; I could clearly hear the cleaning staff talking in the hallway during my afternoon nap. Also, for some reason, there were sudden, loud cracking noises in the room. At first, I thought it might be the wooden furniture expanding and contracting due to temperature changes, making a loud 'CRACK!', but then I wondered how that could be when the AC was on constantly. These noises were quite disturbing in the middle of the night. The fridge was also noisy, and so was the AC. In short, there was a mix of various noises, yet somehow they seemed to cancel each other out – quite a bizarre experience. The facilities are a bit old, but the room itself is spacious. It was clean, and the service was very good.

Hotel is quite old and there are other organizations in the same building. There was a notice in the hotel room notifying that there were burglaries so guests should ensure their doors are properly closed. That said, they use a key for the door lock and the card is just for electricity. The hotel room has a water dispenser which is great but it becomes a little too bright at night. Amenities in the toilet had toothpaste so I didn’t use them. Lots of vending machines in the lobby.

This was my second stay at this hotel within a year. The rooms are clean and spacious, and despite being right below Hiroshima Station, you can barely hear any noise. The breakfast is also good. The surrounding area has excellent transportation links, and there are many dining options inside the station. This time, my 80-year-old travel companion and I stayed for 4 nights. Not far from the hotel is Shukkei-en Garden, which is worth a visit (Figs. 1-5). From Hiroshima Station, you can take a direct train to Iwakuni Station. From there, take a bus to see Kintaikyo Bridge, one of Japan's three most famous bridges. Nearby, you can also take a cable car up to Iwakuni Castle (Figs. 6-8). Alternatively, from Iwakuni Station, you can negotiate with a taxi driver for a private tour of these attractions, which costs around 12,000 yen for 2 hours. On our way back from Iwakuni Station to Hiroshima by train, we made a detour at Miyajimaguchi to revisit Miyajima, one of Japan's three most scenic spots that we'd seen last year. We specifically wanted to admire the beauty of the torii gate during high tide (Fig. 9). Furthermore, the airport shuttle bus to Hiroshima Airport departs from the bus terminal plaza right next to the hotel (Fig. 10). It seems to be from stop #5, and there's a self-service ticket machine next to the stop. Buses run very frequently.

Really great! Except the location is a bit off. There is also a swimming pool to play in summer. There is also a gym and a bakery, but the variety of bread is a bit limited. Which expensive one is recommended for breakfast, or you may not be full.
