Vessel Inn Hiroshima Station

“We found it great for the price”

Family of 5 traveling to Hiroshima, two rooms, 3 in one and 2 in another. We found the hotel room to be more spacious than the room we had in Tokyo in which we could barely have room to walk by our bed even with our luggage folded.

Family of 5 traveling to Hiroshima, two rooms, 3 in one and 2 in another. We found the hotel room to be more spacious than the room we had in Tokyo in which we could barely have room to walk by our bed even with our luggage folded. The room we had had two double beds a desk/table area with hot pot and complimentary tea and a small refrigerator. The wash basin was outside of the restroom with the bath and toilet. For three people there was ample room in respect to how Japanese hotel rooms can be. We liked the energy efficiency of the room lights going off if your room card was not in the light slot on the wall. The Japanese breakfasts served was not fantastic but for the price of the hotel we found it to be very good and the main items did change daily which was nice. The beds were on the firm side but we have had a lot firmer which was more like sleeping on concrete in other hotels. If we visited this area again, we would stay at this hotel again. It was clean and the housekeeping staff were pleasant and refreshed our towels by leaving new towels in bags with all new amenities (toothbrushes,etc) on our door if we did not want the room cleaned for the day. It was also conveniently located across from the train station and 7-11 on the corner made it convenient for late night snacking.

“Reasonable price, quiet and comfortable hotel.”

This hotel is a short walk from Hiroshima JR station. The price is reasonable for a business hotel. We found the staff friendly and efficient. We had a comfortable twin bedded room for three nights, which was laid out in an interesting configuration allowing for a modicum of privacy to each individual. It worked well and I liked that touch, because staying there felt more like a short stay in a small studio apartment. Breakfast was buffet style, a mix of Japanese and some Western dishes, not a big selection but what was there was fresh and tasty. We didn’t have much interaction with the staff other than checking in or out but they were efficient and friendly. We’ll stay there again, I think, should we return to Hiroshima.

“Don't be late for breakfast.”

This a typical mid range Japanese hotel which is clean and reasonably priced if you can avoid weekends . The rooms are very small, no surprise, and the double bed is more of a large single but it was comfortable. But we managed 4 nights without a divorce. The wifi was fine as was the stuff in th… more

This a typical mid range Japanese hotel which is clean and reasonably priced if you can avoid weekends . The rooms are very small, no surprise, and the double bed is more of a large single but it was comfortable. But we managed 4 nights without a divorce. The wifi was fine as was the stuff in the bathroom. The ladies in reception are lovely but don't speak a lot of English. We didn't get to try breakfast because on the first day we arrived at few minutes before the finish time, and once we got through the confusion about payment it was 1 minute after finish time and breakfast was not available. This was the decision of the grumpy old man who is some sort of boss. We just went to the 7 Eleven over the road for food and the same for the next 3 mornings. So there, you miserable old toad. .

I booked this hotel through trip Advisor partner Japanican and prepaid to secure a great price. It is a functional clean hotel that excels in service and most everything they offer for this price point. I liked the close location near the Hiroshima Train Station, close as in a 7 minute walk but in a quiet area and stones throw from the Zoom Zoom Mazda baseball park. My room was very nice, bed very comfortable and on the second day I slept 16 hours so that should tell you something as I had already spent in Tokyo prior and recovered from jet leg so this was just good sleep. I had breakfast on all three days I stayed which was 700Y and worth every penny. There was sausages and scrambled eggs, pastries, fruits, juices, coffee, dry cereals and many Japanese foods - all delicious and I tried everything. I liked having some fish everyday for breakfast - particular as it was smoked just like kippers. I would stay here again without hesitation particular as its 3 minutes to this very frequent trams - and all go by the stop and you can easily pull a suitcase from the train station.
