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.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima
The stay was comfortable and the hotel very centrally located. The check in was a little slower than the other hotels during our trip, front desk was polite and professional but did struggle more with English. The king bed room was spacious and clean but did have some remnant smell of cigarette smell ...
