Hotel Intergate Hiroshima
Highly recommend the Intergate Hotel Hiroshima. The staff was fantastic and provided the best care to us. We had a medical issue that the staff worked to help us address. I could not have asked for better help. The rooms are very good and comfortable. Area is walkable to many locations.

Hotel Granvia Hiroshima
Super hotel right next to Hiroshima Station (basically only 1 minute walk from Shinkansen exit). Many choices of food and shopping. Easy to get to bariois tourist sites around Hiroshima from the station.

HOTEL GRANVIA HIROSHIMA SOUTH GATE
Simple but spacious room, having separate areas for the toilet and bath is a bonus. Location and convenience is the number one selling point, literally right next to the street car and JR station with plenty of shopping and eating options.
