GRACE STAY Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
"The place was very good once I got in, but it was pretty hard to find and had some issues with check in. Note that the place on Google maps might not be the actual place, it's one street south of it. Not much around in the area, especially later at night."

fav HIROSHIMA HEIWAODORI
"Convenient location, room could use a refresh. Some of the items in the room were worn and our kitchen sink leaked water on the countertop when you turned it on. Shower and tub area had a bad smell and the beds were very firm. Staff was nice and helpful and breakfast was nice to have."
