Hotel Mystays Hiroshima Peace Park

Hotel Mystays Hiroshima Peace Park

10/10 Excellent
"A very nice hotel,with smaller type rooms, but very comfortable, even with three beds in our room. We had a beautiful view of the river and the Dome and Peace Park. Great location, easy access by tram or bus and plenty of taxis available easy to access from Hiroshima station. Activities were close nearby walking to shopping street undercover, as well as the must do Hiroshima museum and Peace Park. Also convenient was the ferry to Majima Island to see those legendary UNESCO Gates, so overall great location with some great eats and a small bar which I recommended also both fantastic. Very close to the hotel."

"This was a great hotel for our family. We booked 2 rooms, the queen beds were big, especially if you have guests over 6 ft tall. Also the rooms were spacious, had a couch and table, lots of room for luggage. The hotel amenities were great, from the snacks, happy hour drinks and onsen. I used the onsen every night, nice way to relax after a day of walking. Staff were always helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again."
