Hiroshima Hotel Guide - Romantic Hotels in Hiroshima, Japan

We only got to stay here 1 night and arrived quite late then left early the next morning so didn't get to experience too much. However, we did go for a drink in the evening on arrival to enjoy the nighttime panoramic views from the bar at the top of the hotel. My partner had a bowl of ramen which was OK and the drinks were fine with reasonable prices. The room was larger than expected with even room for a sofa/dining table set up. The bathroom was a little cramped and gloomy. The bed was comfortable and we slept well in the peaceful environment next to the open water and islands. In the morning we had great views through the dawn haze watching the boats as they travelled to Miyajima. We tried the breakfast in the Top of Hiroshima Lounge and enjoyed the wide variety of foods available covering Japanese, Chinese, Korean and more western style items. We arrived after the advised time and expected queues but it was quiet when we arrived around 8.30am. Overall I would recommend it if you're in Hiroshima as its a different experience from staying in a city centre but still offers good transport connections. The bus from right outside the hotel takes you to the Peace Memorial Park in around 25 mins. The hotel operates a shuttle bus to/from Hiroshima Station and a ferry to/from Miyajima.

So convenient - connected to JR station. I have stayed there twice in 6 months. Very helpful staff and great room.

Miyajima is ranked as one of the top three scenic spots in Japan, and we enjoyed our visit because we were able to spend a night on the island at Hotel Kikunoya. We arrived at the ferry terminal and requested for the Information Desk to call the hotel for us for courtesy pick-up. Our driver was very friendly, and told us about Miyajima. Our room and bed were small but expected. The room had a toilet and sink. Two yukatas were folded on the bed for us but were too large so we requested smaller sizes to wear to the public baths. I showered late and had the onsen to myself. The hotel was a downhill walk to the Omotesando, Machiya Dori, and Itsukushima Shrine. I recommend the shrine first thing in the morning before the tourists arrive, and try to go when tide is low so you can touch the floating tori gate. The hotel was also a quick walk to the Momijidani Park and to the Daisho-in temple (both of which have hiking trails to the Ropeway). We paid for breakfast but opted out of dinner. The town closes early but the hotel had information on late night eats. Our breakfast was tasty. We chose the Japanese breakfast which had unlimited rice and miso soup. There was a staff member working in the dining room during breakfast that was fluent in English and helped us arrange a courtesy shuttle to the ferry terminal. However upon checkout a different staff person was at the front desk. Our shuttle didn't come so they arranged for a private car to rush us to the terminal.

Very clean, very friendly and reasonable price compared to other hotels in the area. If you're willing to walk 15-40 minutes you won't need a taxi for most sight seeing. Taxi was ¥1000 to train station. Convenience stores and shopping mall with grocery are 5 minute walk away. Only complaints were super small refrigerator and portable table provided instead of a desk or counter. Overall a nice hotel I would recommend.

The hotel was very nice. We had a wonderful view. The hotel could not be more conveniently located. I recommend it to anyone visiting Hiroshima.
