Hiroshima Grand Intelligent Hotel

Japanese architecture 101 - Golden Rule - NEVER ask a Japanese architect to design a European style hotel. It is guaranteed to look like something more fitting to Disney World. The entrance foyer to the Grand intelligent Hotel in Hiroshima made a clear statement of what was to come - an English fireplace and two suits of armour. To describe the reception area as tacky would be a gross understatement. Make a list of everything that symbolises Europe and randomly incorporate them into your hotel foyer. Fortunately there was no miniature Eiffel Tower or slow, claustrophobic French lift but there was a French courtyard reproduction. I kid you not! Now that has covered all of the negatives, leaving only the positives. The room, on any World standard, was enormous, with a separate toilet and bathroom. The size is best visualised in number of doors - 7. The bedroom area was about twice the size of our room in the Washington Hotel in Tokyo. Two comfortable, double beds and enough lounge sofa to comfortably seat 6+ people, all in European style, with heavily patterned carpet and curtains and lots of timber finishing. Lots of power points for your electronic devices. The bathroom was large with a separate bath/shower area, with a large, well-designed bath. Epsom salts to ease those aching tourist bones. The shower operation was marginally confusing but let’s not split hairs! Now, whilst we are sure all the room are of similar European design, they probably vary in size. We were on a tour so can’t comment on price, but if room 607 is available at an affordable price, register your interest quickly. Convenient location with a small Seven-11 on the corner and a large number of restaurants within walking distance at the Central Station. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice, including the usual hot (lukewarm) items. The small custards were particularly nice. So hard to fault if you look beyond the eclectic decor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

とても可愛いホテルで、とても清潔でした。 トイレ、お風呂が別でお風呂にゆっくり浸かれるし、朝食も美味しくて、また泊まりたいと思えるホテルです。

The bed in our room wasn’t flat. I spent 2 nights trying not to roll onto my partner. This meant two nights of terrible sleep. Can’t speak for all rooms but the bed seriously needed replacing. Otherwise, the hotel was fine. Close to the train station.

Great service by friendly and helpful staff. Great location near the train station. Quiet and comfortable stay.

Elegant hotel that was VERY nice. Staff was great but in Japan they have all been great. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Elegant old school downtown hotel, with updated facilities.

家族4人で2部屋に分かれて利用しました。娘たちはヨーロピアンな感じがインスタ映えすると喜んで、たくさん写真を撮っていました。

A few minutes walk from the Hiroshima station. Quick check-in, with helpful staff. Rooms are dark, equipped with all comforts [room 512] no bottled water offered. Kettle available, with tea or coffee. On the corner is a convenient shop, and nearby some restaurants. Breakfast buffet at extra cost 2400Y. *recommended is to visit Miyajima, within an hour by train and ferry.

We stayed with a group from Australia... Great rooms, very large and spacious... Totally separate toilet & shower....You can shower just outside the bath as it's the Shower area... Great location to Station and Restaurants.... Beds are of good quality...

　雰囲気もとても良かったです。照明はLEDで眩しすぎました。暖かみのある色で明るさを調整出来るといいです。あと窓が全開だと落下する人がいそうで工夫していただきたいです。
