THE KNOT Hiroshima
The room was nice. One thing I didn't like is that the modern Japanese toilet models they have chosen have quite a small seat. The hotel location is right next to Peace Blvd and a medium walk to the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb museum. Bus transportation to Hiroshima station is easy from multiple stops ...

Mitsui Garden Hotel Hiroshima
It was a very nice experience. Bathroom could be a little better. Mildews on tiles is not something I am used to. But overall, it was a good, clean hotel and very friendly staff.
