EN HOTEL Hiroshima

EN Hotel - an excellent hotel in an amazing and quiet location. Walking distance from the main street in Hiroshima and about a 15-minute walk from Hiroshima Station. The hotel is near the river. We got a relatively large and high standard room. The bed is very comfortable, and there is a very large and comfortable desk to work on. The room has a small fridge, a safe, a small bathroom, a place to hang clothes and a TV that was hanging away from the bed and didn't rotate so we didn't use it. We got a room with an amazing view of the river, a pastoral view and a very quiet area. The hotel wifi worked well overall. There were a few times that the wifi worked weaker but it was fixed very quickly. The hotel has breakfast. The price is 200 yen cheaper if you pay for a meal in advance (that morning the cost will be 1,700 yen). The hotel staff is lovely. They helped us with everything we asked or requested and were very professional. The hotel has a laundry service- 2 washing machines and 2 dryers. Washing cost - 300 yen per half hour and dryer cost 100 yen per half hour. The hotel is at very affordable price. Highly recommend!

The room was spacious, modern and nicely designed. The window spanning a whole wall provided a lot of light. The beds were quite comfy. The location is its best point as we were just off the main road next to one of the rivers in the city. Staff were very friendly and helpful, even helping us make a paper crane upon checkout. We were also able to leave our bags at the hotel after checkout.

One km from train station. Two stops by bus number 6. Probably four stops by trams. Bus is on ground level outside the train station. Just over 1km on foot to walk the the A-bomb dome, memorial etc by going through the Hondori shopping arcade. There is a Lawson nearby for water, ice-cream, instant noodles etc. Breakfast for 1500 yen paid in advance, 1700 yen on the day. Free coffee and tea from 3pm till evening. A tiny cooler (fridge) in the room for water and soft drinks.

Pros: We went there for 2 nights with breakfast in double standard room. This hotel is very well priced compared to its standard. Of course it's not the newest design, but you get everything you need. It's spacious (which is no rule in Japan!), bathroom is similar to any other more expensive hotel, there is a nice view from the window, most attractions can be reached by foot (Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hondori) and Hiroshima Station is just 3 streetcar stops away. Oh, and there are huge windows in the breakfast area, so you can enjoy nice ground level city view while eating.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome- gentleman who helped us check in was so so lovely (we were very tired, and not really paying full attention, yet he was apologising for his English- which was honestly very good!). We were put in a larger room than expected, with a lovely view of the river. Clean, had all the facilities we needed. Good coffee machine downstairs. Great location near local bars and restaurants, yet still quiet. Not too far a walk from the main station.
