Staggeringly good value, perfectly located and absolutely top notch western-friendly hotel in the heart of Hiroshimas tourist district, on both direct metro or tram lines from the main station.

Hilton Hiroshima
The Hilton Hiroshima was a good place for a quick layover between cities. The amenities are more limited than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Japan. The staff was very helpful! The breakfast buffet was great for our family and kept us full through lunch.
