Toyoko Inn Hiroshima Ekimae Ohashi Minami

Staff were really nice, two pairs of slippers, big bathtub

No English instructions for the bidet

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and polite. You check in at a machine that has several languages available, and the staff are standing by ready to help if needed. There are vending machines in the lobby and a convenience store nearby. I took the tram to the memorial park, ferried round trip to Miyajima from there, and walked back to the hotel through the street market.

The station is close, but just faraway enough to make it difficult to walk with luggage, especially if it's hot or rainy - but too close for a taxi (although I did hire one for the way back to the station and the driver did not seem annoyed at all). The surrounding neighborhood is sparse and sleepy, but I found a great okonomiyaki restaurant a few blocks away. In the future, I would probably opt to stay in a more lively neighborhood and I would stay longer in this beautiful city (I only had 2 nights - 1 full day).

Die Lage

Zentrale Lage, freundliches Personal

In der Beschreibung wurde uns ein Schrank versprochen. Es gab aber nur Kleiderbügel an einer Stange. Nach einer längeren Zeit an der Rezeption wurde uns erklärt, dass es sich um ein Übersetzungsfehler von Booking.com handelt. Der Frühstücksraum ist klein und es gibt wenig Auswahl. Das Zimmer ist so klein, dass man einen Koffer nur auf dem Bett auspacken kann. Von unseren mehreren japanischen Hotels war dies das kleinste Zimmer.
