Loved the traditional style rooms. Staff were excellent: very friendly and knowledgable about the area and what was going on. Great location as well; walking distance to the Peace Park and surrounds. close

Overcrowded (my 7th trip to Japan so I know what Japanese rooms are like); no breakfast; poor communal facilities; hard to find - the instructions say "1 minute walk from the tram stop" but in which direction? close

Really great place to stay, owned by a charming family. Peace Memorial Park is just five minutes away by walk and Domachi tram station is also very close, so going to Miyajima or JR Station is quick and easy. And the best thing I remember from Ikawa Ryokan is one infrequent feature that I most appreciate: the sensation of CALM AND ABSOLUTE SILENCE when you are going to sleep, no noise at all. close

Nice wee family run hotel and excellent if you can get the traditional japanese rooms. 10 Minutes walk from the centre of town so no need to buy a pass for the trams unless you are wanting to go further out from hiroshima. close

It is not bad but a nice Ryokan or a Toyoko Hotel would be better.

Hotel Million City was a fine and inexpensive place to stay in Hiroshima. We got a private twin room with a bathroom, which was a change from the hostel we were staying at previously. The bathroom is tiny (with thin walls), and the room isn\'t that big, but the bed was comfy, you get a TV, a little fridge (handy!) and what was really cool was that our room came with a huge balcony. Very neat to stand out there and look around. The hotel is near a 7-11 as well as a tiny drug store, and there\'s also a handy little vending machine in the lobby with water, beer, chuhai, etc. The hotel is located conveniently to a lot of the tourist spots- just a few blocks from the Peace Memorial Park and also the shopping arcades where you can check out stores, karaoke, lots of restaurants and bars, and the okonomimura. (Recommended! Three floors of delicious okonomiyaki, and Hiroshima\'s version with the noodles added is very filling!) The staff were very nice, and when asked, gave us two keys for the room. (I speak some Japanese, so I\'m not sure how it would be if you don\'t speak the language at all, but the staff were very accommodating overall.) They also didn\'t bat an eye when a friend of ours ended up staying over in our room on the second night. They even watched our stuff after we checked out so we could go see the museum before heading back to Hiroshima station. The hotel also has a cute cat named Momo who runs in and out. Point to remember: Their directions aren\'t very good. Say you take the tram from Hiroshima station (#1 is a good bet) and get off at the Chuden-mae stop. You want to be on the same side of the street as the NHK building as they mentioned. (I had to ask a couple people which building was the NHK building- it\'s this big building about a block off, and is marked.) The thing is- when you see the NHK building, it\'s on the other side of this big street with a couple islands in the middle that break up the crossing. DO NOT CROSS THAT STREET. Instead, take a left at that intersection. You will pass the gas station and get to a narrow street. Take a left here and walk a few paces and on your left will be Hotel Million City. It\'s a small narrow hotel. We made the mistake of crossing the street and wandering around the NHK building block before backtracking. Hotel Million City would not be the place for you if you\'re looking to meet people to hang out with. It\'s a business hotel with mostly single rooms and a few twins. If you\'re looking for someplace with a common area to meet other travelers, then you should check out a hostel. For us though, it worked fine, and was a very affordable choice for a hotel. If you go, say hi to Momo for me! close

when we got into our room- it stank of smoke, when we opended the window there is a concrete wall about 10 cms away- no natural light; it was always dark in the room unless you had the light on. i know this isnt thier fault, but we also spent the two nights we stayed there listening to the musical sounds of our neighbours flem fight its way out of his mouth- paper thin walls. close

A serious problem with bed bugs. Two out of the three of us were bitten dozens of times. Other than that the traditional Japanese room was nice enough and the washing facilities were limited but adequate. close

Allthoug it was a different experience to stay at a all japanese-speaking hostel, it would have been nice to have one english speaking staff member! We ended up paying a little bit more than we should because she didn't understand that we had paid the deposit online, and we couldn't argue in japanese... bottom line we were happy to move the next day close

the worst possible location. absolutley terrible. way, way to many rules. only public showers and you can even use them during the day. rules dont make any sense even if they are for cleaning time. do not go here unless you are really pressed for cash like i was or you have no other options. close

My friends and I had a most brilliant stay at Hotel Flex. The hotel is buzzing - has a really good feel about it. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. There are also very interesting eating places along the river to the right of the hotel. Very stunning at night. It was easy to connect with the road cars to go to Peace park... I would recommend HOtel FLex to everybody staying in Hiroshima. The Hotel is modern and clean and beautifully situated on the river. close
