I was delighted to discover, when I arrived in Hiroshima, that the hotel was only 5 minutes walk from the Central Station. This meant it was easy to access not only the trains, but also the three alternative "loop" buses available for tourists in Hiroshima. There was also a good range of reasonably priced restaurants close to the hotel. The hotel itself was very good, with rooms that were a reasonable size, given that Japanese hotel rooms are often very compact. Breakfast was buffet style, with a reasonable selection, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom facilities good.
