Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay. Proximity to the Peace museum, shopping and restaurants was ideal. The best part was the buffet breakfast on the 25th floor. The view was to die for! Would highly recommend staying here. "
Hiroshima Station Universal Hotel Shinkansen Exit Right
8/10 Good
"Location is quite near the train station. You can take the escalator (near Sheraton hotel) instead of staircase (based on Google) if you are carrying heavy luggage. Value for money as the hotel provides breakfast and dinner (latest dinner by 830pm). Free amenities only toothbrush, razor and comb."
"My partner and I stayed here recently. While the hotel is modern and clean, it didn’t quite hit the "luxury" mark for us. It was a good stay, but not excellent.
The Pros:
Spacious Rooms: Definitely larger than your average Japanese hotel room. It was nice to have the extra floor space and a modern layout.
The View: High floors offer a great look at the city skyline.
The Cons:
Missing Amenities: We were surprised that there were no bathrobes in the room, which we’ve come to expect at hotels in this price range. Also, unlike many other high-end hotels in Japan, they didn't provide any skincare sets (cleansers/lotions) to try, which felt like a missed opportunity for a "Premium" brand.
Breakfast was just "Fine": It was a standard buffet. It does the job, but it was crowded and felt a bit like a high-end cafeteria rather than a relaxing meal.
Location & Logistics: It’s a bit of a trek from the main station and the Peace Park. Plus, the elevators are notoriously slow, which gets annoying when you're on a high floor.
Verdict:
It’s a safe, "corporate" choice if you want a big room, but it lacks the thoughtful amenities and soul of other luxury hotels in Japan.
