Urbain Hiroshima Central

I stayed in this hotel with my wife for a couple of nights and we both enjoyed it. The hotel is mid-distance between the train station (up to 15min walk) and Hiroshima main spots (10min to castle, 20 min to Memorial Park). If needed, you could also ride the tramway which passes in the front of hotel. The room is small and simple, nonetheless quiet at night for a deserved rest, comfy and contains all we needed (kettle, minifridge, aircon, comfy bed and equipped bathroom, and pyjamas). Staff had limited English but is truly helpful to help you info about the city and touristic leaflets to this intent are available at the hotel reception. Breakfast was part of our room deal and included lots of Japanese dishes, e.g. Hiroshima style okonomiyaki and yakisoba (grilled noodles), fish, omelette ... and few limited Western options. Nonetheless, we found it really good value for money. Overall, this hotel will best fit solo traveller/couples (possibly group of friends if twin beds or separate rooms), who dont mind walking a bit around to reach the hotel or explore the city. We walked all of the main spots in Hiroshima, and also took the train to explore around Hiroshima area so this hotel felt the best choice for us. The deal was a really good value for money including breakfast, and I would definitely stay again on a future trip.

Large room by local standards. The location was central. However, still needed to catch a bus to the station and to the Peace Park. I liked that you could open the windows for fresh air. Late check out is appreciated. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of fresh produce. Staff were helpful.

I stayed in the Premier Double Room - Non-Smoking for 3 nights. Good points: - No smoke odour in the room/bathroom and was very clean and quiet. - Free soft drink, coffee, iced water from 3pm-midnight. Life saver in the 36 degrees heat!! - Reliable wifi in the room - Staff will securely keep your luggage until you check in. - Good skyline view of the surrounding mountains - Great location. 5min walk to the closest streetcar station and 10min walk to the underground mall that will take you close to most of the tourist sites that keeps you cool from the summer heat. ~20min from the Hiroshima Station. - The room had an AC that you can control (if you can read Japanese), a humidifier and air cleanser. A powerful fan can be borrowed from near the lift (if available). - Basic amenities in the bathroom. Japanese style pyjamas that are refreshed with every room housekeeping session. - Free onsen/bath on 2nd floor. I think this would be excellent for the colder seasons. - Washing machine and dryer also available on 2nd floor. - Breakfast is available for extra.

The location was good about 20 min from Hiroshima station and 15 min to the memorial park. The reception staff is very friendly. Yes the hotel is a bit dated and the brown colour somehow makes it a bit drab, but it's clean and comfortable. We also had a breakfast which was pretty good, a mixture of European and japanese. There is onsen on site but we didn't use it, also washing machine facility.

Everything was perfect. Location. Price. Friendly staff. I highly recommend this place. The room is comfortable and equipped with an electric kettle and refrigerator. So, You can simply eat convenience store food anytime if you want. There is a large bathhouse, but i didn't use it.
