Hiroshima Intelligent Hotel Stadium Mae

Friendly staff, good location and value for money

Twin beds were very close together and could have done with a quick spring clean.

Very quirky decor, I loved it!!

All is well.

Affordable rate for rooms and closer to a train station and baseball field. Parking lots were somehow prepared. Good for baseball game watchers.

Old and cluttered facility. Room is not so clean. Air purifier seems not to be cleaned and generates very bad smell. (of course stopped it immediately)

The hotel has an interesting atmosphere. On the inside, the architecture reminds you somewhere European style. There's an There are interesting statues and paintings around, and in one of the common areas they offer some free books that you can read to pass the time. (Note: They are older series, and if I remember right they're in Japanese.) The elevator on the way up is glass, so you can see through the elevator as it ascends to your floor over the contained garden between the two wings. The room is an older design, but relatively comfy. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were pretty clean. One of the neat features of the bedroom that I noticed was that there's a specific lightswitch built into the bedframe that serves as a floor light, so you can leave that light on and it'll illuminate the floor for when you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. The location is very close to the Mazda Zoom Zoom stadium if you're into baseball, as well as very close to the Hiroshima train station making travelling a lot easier. It's also very close to EkiCity, which is a brand new shopping center right by Hiroshima Station that sells various products if you wanted to do some shopping there. There's also a lot of good restaurants nearby, including a Wagyu restaurant that I really liked when I was staying in the area. Up north past the tracks within walking distance is also the Toshogu Shrine. There are also other shrines, which there should be a map indicating all the shrines nearby if you're interested in exploring and checking out all the shrines and temples. In particular, there is a path to an Inari shrine right behind the Toshogu shrine, and climbing all the way to the top gives you a beautiful view of Hiroshima, and another path close to the Inari Shrine will bring you over to where the Peace Pagoda is located.

My only complaint is that the wifi would sometimes be nigh un-usable. Sometimes basic email wouldn't even load, so I would have to switch over to data in order to load up emails. Otherwise, no other complaints.

Friendly staff, walkable to public transport, value for money
